Editorial Review: Product Description: MULTI TOOL, SKELETOOL CX, STAINLESS, Amazon.com Product Description:
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:
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. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - AwesomeI bought this without even looking at one in real life. I was a little apprehensive about the purchase but it looked too cool. It showed up about 3 days after I bought it and I use it every day now. The CX has the better knife and still has a nice tip to it. Some knives break off when using them but not this one. It is a nice shape to save your hands a bit and looks very unique. It is basically a knife and pliers. The other bottle opener works good and the screw driver is alright but ... Read More Rating:  - What it does, it does wellFor my needs the Skeletool CX is perfect. It packs a decent needlenose pliers, a 154CM steel knife, and a somewhat-usable screwdriver into an lightweight, good-looking package. Rating: - Everything you need!I have been an avid leatherman user my whole life. My last purchase was the Juice which had everything and more than I could need, but didn't have the "pocket" quality that the skeletool has. The skeletool has the basic multi-tool functions with a little twist to each one that makes it unique to leatherman. The bottle opener/carabiner clip has proven to be more useful than I had anticipated. The knife is razor sharp and the locking blade mechanism is a sweet idea too! I like the interchangable bit ... Read More Rating: - Excellent Product, Few ShortcomingsAn excellent leathermen, my only complaints are that it takes two hands to open the blade, which is REALLY sharp, and you also need to put your hand in front of the blade to put it back down. Also a little bit heavy. Rating: - A very good idea, well executed...This is the CX version of Leatherman's breakthrough multitool, the Skeletool. It differs only slightly from the basic, with a higher grade steel for the blade, hardcoated frame, and a carbon fiber scale. As others have written, while billed as an ultra-light hiking tool, it is at it's best as a superior urban pocketknife. It is very well crafted, in the LM tradition. The only difference from other LM tools, in terms of construction, is the use of rivits, 3 of them, as opposed ... Read More |
