MULTI TOOL, SKELETOOL CX, STAINLESS,
Amazon.com Product Description
table align=right cellpadding=15 width=200 trtd IMG SRC="http://g-ec2.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/th/detail-page/Skeletool_CX_Detail.jpg"BR smallbiLeatherman packs the full-size Skeletool with the tools you're likely to use most often./i/b/small /tr/td /table p bIntroducing the Brand New Skeletool CX from Leatherman/bBR Get back to basics -- the very icool/i 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. p bKey User Features/bBR 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. p 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. p 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. p bMultitool Capabilities:/bBR 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 iit./i p bKey Tech Specs:/bUL LI Length: 4 inches/10 cm closed LI Weight: 5 ounces/142 grams LI Materials: Stainless steel, Tungsten DLC coating, 154CM, carbon fiber (handle scale) LI Included Bits: Phillips #1 and #2, Screwdriver 3/16-inch and 1/4-inch /UL p table align=left cellpadding=15 width=200 trtd IMG SRC="http://g-ec2.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/th/detail-page/Skeletool_Bit_Kit.jpg " width="200"BR smallbiLeatherman makes a full range of complementary accessories and add-ons for this and other Leatherman products./i/b/small /tr/td /table p bOptional Accessories (not included)/bBR 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. p bWarranty/bBR 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. p bThe Leatherman Tool Group and its History of Quality/bBR 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.

 Ergonomic November 23, 2008
Karen Hernandez
This multi-tool feels good in the hand. It is sturdy and well equipped with almost anything you would need. It's light and attractive, but be careful using the belt clip, as it is thin and bends easily. Overall, it's good.
 Awesome November 18, 2008

I bought this without even looking at one in real life. I was a little apprehensive about the purchase but it looked too cool. br / br /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 not for anything serious.
What it does, it does well November 11, 2008

For 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.
Everything you need! November 10, 2008

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 drivers, the only thing that might need improvement would be the spare bit compartment in the handle...it hasn't fallen out yet but with age it might become lose and have a tendency to fall out. I have only had the skeletool about a month and I have already fixed a car, fixed a dog crate, fixed my girlfriend's necklace, and managed to unjam a jukebox that had been unuseable for some time now! Thanks Leatherman for creating another VIP to add to my colection! A must have for anyone that loves leatherman!
Excellent Product, Few Shortcomings November 5, 2008
George Halsted
An 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.
