table align=right cellpadding=15 width=200 trtd IMG SRC="http://g-ec2.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/th/detail-page/Skeletool_Detail.jpg"BRBR 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 from Leatherman/bBR Now you're ready to lighten your load and boost your survival skills -- with Leatherman's Skeletool. At a mere 5 ounces the new, full-sized multitool keeps 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. And with the Skeletool's integrated, removable pocket clip, you can easily clip this tool onto a belt, a pack, or a vest -- with no sheath or tote required. 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, 420HC 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.

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.

4 out of 5 stars Does not replace the Kick.   October 15, 2008
Deacon
It is o.k. but I would rather have and use my Leatherman Kick. It is just a little to small to do the jobs that I do with my Kick. Thanx Deacon


5 out of 5 stars Love it...   September 17, 2008
Spirdawgg
I do a lot of "light duty" weekend work where I'm frequently in need of a screwdriver, pliers, and/or knife...this tool fits the bill! I've found the quick-access knife to be better than expected. The pliers have a very solid feel to them and work well. Some multitools collapse too easy but not this one, it's firm and built well...not at all loose. I don't like that I have to carry an extra pouch of bits for the screwdriver funtion but it does have both flat and phillips blades which is mostly what I need. The lightweight makes it easy to carry, even when wearing shorts. At this point, I feel naked without it!


4 out of 5 stars Good Tool   September 3, 2008
Joseph B. Miller (Monee, Illinois United States)
This is a pretty good tool if you're looking for something that is fairly light weight, has a pocket clip, and easy access to the folding knife blade and excellent bottle opener/carabiner. I've been carrying this tool daily for the past few months and really like it. You may want to get backup screwdriver insert bits as I just noticed that my phillips has apparantly fallen out and will need replacing.

Very handy tool. Easy to use. Hangs nicely on the belt loop, but would recommend getting the belt sheath. Versatile and rugged, yet lightweight.
