Amazon.com Product Description

Leatherman packs the full-size Skeletool with the tools you're likely to use most often.

Introducing the Brand New Skeletool CX from Leatherman
Get back to basics -- the very cool basics -- with Leatherman's Skeletool CX. Today's outdoor enthusiasts want to keep weight and volume to a minimum without sacrificing quality and true functionality, and that's what the Skeletool is all about. Many multitools have multiple options, but they're often heavier -- and they're loaded with more features than most people actually need on a regular basis. Conversely, pocket knives are light and streamlined, but they render themselves useless when the task calls for a more versatile tool. Enter the new Skeletool platform, offering minimal weight, compact size and endless capabilities.

Key User Features
The Skeletool CX has a large knife blade that can be accessed while the tool is closed; to open it, just place your thumb in the thumbhole at the base of the blade and rotate it out until it's fully extended -- which will engage the safety lock. This locking mechanism is noted with a padlock symbol on the tool. To unlock the blade, press the locking mechanism towards the handle until the blade slides past the lock.

Equipped with a universal bit driver, the Skeletool offers real utility options like no other multitool. To change the tool bits, simply unfold the tool and remove the bit from the bit driver -- and pop it out. And replacing bits is just as easy. Just press a new one into position and you're good to go. There's even a spare bit located in the handle side opposite the knife blade. This tool includes the following bits: Phillips #1 and #2, screwdriver 3/16-inch and 1/4-inch.

In the plier jaws you'll find a hard-wire cutter and a regular wire cutter. The regular wire cutter is great for softer grades of wire, but the hard-wire cutter is excellent for heavier jobs -- like cutting and bending fishhooks.

Multitool Capabilities:
The Skeletool keeps it simple -- and light, and compact, and easy to transport. Why waste time with pointless, heavy add-ons when all the basics are right at your fingertips? With its open hardware, skeletal design and hardy appearance, the Skeletool boasts a premium stainless steel blade, pliers, a universal bit driver, and a carabiner/bottle opener ... and that's it.

Key Tech Specs:

  • Length: 4 inches/10 cm closed
  • Weight: 5 ounces/142 grams
  • Materials: Stainless steel, Tungsten DLC coating, 154CM, carbon fiber (handle scale)
  • Included Bits: Phillips #1 and #2, Screwdriver 3/16-inch and 1/4-inch


Leatherman makes a full range of complementary accessories and add-ons for this and other Leatherman products.

Optional Accessories (not included)
Spice up your Skeletool with genuine Leatherman accessories. Options include a bit kit that offers 21 double-ended bits for real versatility. From new belt sheaths to t-shirts and caps, genuine Leatherman accessories are durable, fun and show that you're a part of Leatherman World. With such a wide variety available, it's easy to find just the add-on that's right for you.

Warranty
All Leatherman products are covered by a 25-year limited warranty. If within 25 years from the purchase date of your genuine Leatherman tool you find any defect in material or workmanship, you can count on the manufacturer to make it right with fast warranty service. To obtain warranty service, return your tool to Leatherman Tool Group. Depending on the tool defect, they will decide whether to repair your tool or replace it with a product of equal or greater value. No variations, upgrades or refunds are offered.

The Leatherman Tool Group and its History of Quality
In 1975, Leatherman Tool Group founder Tim Leatherman was inspired by leaky pipes and a cranky car on a budget trip to Europe -- and thus the idea for his first pocket survival tool was conceived. Since then, Leatherman has become an internationally recognized company with hundreds of employees and a wide variety of durable, versatile, stylish products. Created with bold designs and truly rugged construction, Leatherman products are a perfect addition for tool kits, emergency sets, and glove compartments everywhere.

4 out of 5 stars Carbon fiber is a gimmick - still a good tool, though   May 10, 2008
I've found this leatherman useful and well designed, but would recommend the stainless steel version instead. Only a small sliver of the CX is actually made of carbon fiber - the rest is just anodized steel!

I would love to help you to review my latest purchase from Amazon that I ordered at the beginning of April 2008. However I still have not yet received this product. I am extremely concerned espeically as I keep being asked by Amazon to leave feedback and give my comments based around my experience.
Yours (still waiting)

4 out of 5 stars Perfect combination of form and function, if a little overpriced   May 4, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

This is my first Leatherman, and I think I picked a winner. Small and light compared to the other Leathermans, and the only one other than the huge "Charge" series that has a 154CM blade. If you don't care about blade steel (I do), get the vanilla Skeletool with the non-serrated 420HC blade and save some $$. That's my only complaint: the CX is a bit pricey. But the tungsten coating and the strip of carbon fiber looks so cool! Having both a carabiner and pocket clip is a plus--there are times when it is easier to have it on a belt loop then in a pocket. Overall, a brilliant design, and...wait for it...it isn't made in China!


4 out of 5 stars Awesome product   May 3, 2008

I love the Skeletool. My previous leatherman was too big and bulky to carry in a pocket every day, but this one is perfect, and much more useful than just a knife.


5 out of 5 stars Ultimate multitool   May 3, 2008
I've used many multitools over the years and the skeletool is the ultimate! The built in carabeener / bottle opener is sturdy and useful - and the inclusion of equally prominent knife and pliers is the main reason i chose this model over others... add a competent screwdriver system and you have all you really need.
