 Comfortable, solid, and the perfect size. April 3, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
After patiently waiting four months to receive my Skeletool from Amazon it finally came. The CX is smaller than I initially expected but it really is as big as it needs to be. It feels comfortable in the hand and looks amazing. There is very little flex when using the pliers, although it is possible to pinch your thumb between the handles if you are not careful. The knife can be opened with one hand and locks in place nicely. The bit driver feature also has a locking lever which is pressed to change bits. I've owned other multi-tools (i.e. gerber, swiss army) and never used all the features. The CX has the essentials leaving it light weight and well balanced. Just clip it to the inside of your pocket with the belt clip and you can't even tell it is there. I highly recommend it.
Skeletool CX April 2, 2008

Finally received my CX. Removing it from the package I was very pleased with the overall feel of the tool, the fit and finishes are excellent and there are no immediately noticeable sharp edges. It was slightly heavier than I thought it would be, a little heavier than my usual EDC pocket knife, but not bad. Like other reviewers before me I noticed that the carbon fiber may reduce the weight very slightly, however I think it mostly serves to make the tool more aesthetically pleasing. I don't have the problems with the bits that another review had, the bit in the bit holder is held in by a catch that has to be depressed to remove the bit, The other bit is very secure in the handle, although it may get loose once there is some wear on the bit. The bottle opener works and now I'll carry it around for a while and see how it feels in the pocket. All in all I'm very happy with the tool, it has most of the tools I use the most, lacking only the scissors, in a smaller lighter package.
Update - carried it around all day in business casual dress, the position of the pocket clip and the slim profile allow it to ride unobtrusively and comfortably in my pocket.

An excellent product. It did take some time for Leatherman to complete this project, and Amazon needs to work on their customer service. But the product itself is very excellent as is the non-CX version. Don't wait, go purchase one!
Very Pleased with Skeletool March 25, 2008

I just recieved my skeletool after months of waiting (like many of you) and I believe that it was well worth the wait. It is evident that leatherman did indeed use the extra time to make sure that quality was up to par. The skeletool is wonderful. The design is stunning, the craftsmanship excellent, which is what has become expected from leatherman, and the knife seems very sharp and durable. Others have mentioned the knife being "stiff" and while it is a bit, I wouldn't be upset if it never loosened up, I don't believe that it is too bad and can still flip it open with one hand easily. The skeletool feels amazing in your hand, light but solid and sturdy. I can't even tell when its hooked to my belt its so light. Oh and also, the bottle opener works wonderfully! I most certainly recommend it to others, despite the long waiting list and increasing price.
Great tool in a small package March 24, 2008

Just received my Skeletool CX and my first impression was wow. I had pre-ordered it months ago and it arriving was a surprise, it's great when you get a present for yourself. Its light with minimalist lines, yet when you open it, it feels comfortable in your hand. The knife blade is large compared to the entire package but it's smaller then I expected. It's not a replacement for the full sized Leatherman but something that can do almost everything the full sized one can with a fraction of the space.
No problem with the bit driver like the 2 star reviewer. I'm a Leatherman/Gerber nut and so far, I like this one a lot. It's a great tool to have when pocket space is at a premium.
