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.


Leatherman 830850 Skeletool CX Multitool Reviews :
I checked out the display tool at a local shop and found the blade a bit dull, but decided it was no big deal and that I could sharpen it up myself without a problem since I knew Leatherman super tool wouldn't use a cheap steel. When I finally got one in the mail later on down the line I was blown away that it was actually razor sharp. The blade locks up nice and tight and is excellent for utility tasks. Perhaps the best feature of this tool is that the two most used tools on it are instantly accessible and extremely well made - The blade and the bottle opener. The blade is excellent and the bottle opener works simply and will often even hold the bottle cap after removing it so that it doesn't go flying. Great tool, very light weight, very comfortable to use.


Reviews :
I honestly think this is my favorite leatherman super tool ever. I have owned a couple pst's, a blast and most recently a charge alx. These were all great but they always seemed a little overkill for what I needed. When I saw this one though on their site I just knew I had to have it only to find out they were backordered everywhere. So I persevered with my charge alx until the backorder ended. Man was it worth the wait. It is absolutely perfect. I fits great in my acu pockets. The caribiner clip attaches to anything from my belt loops when I ride my sportbike to my backpack and anything in between. The spring mechanism is super strong and you don't need to worry about it coming loose. As other people have stated the mechanism is a little tight but it loosen up quick. The knife blade slides out nice and smooth too. I think this is down to the bronze bushings similar to other leathermans.
The only downsides I can state but none really are any shortcomings. The first is that the lightweight makes the skeletool seem not as sturdy as other leatherman Super Tool offerings but once you admire it and really look at it you realize that this is not the case. It is extremely well made and feels solid while you use it. This also leads into the next "shortcoming". It is too damn beautiful. I catch myself just admiring it. The carbon fiber accents the black coating (which is very durable. I believe it is similar to a coating used on sportbike cylinder walls if that gives you any indication of the durability.) so gorgeously. It gives a look similar to a stealth bomber. You better get used to coworkers wanting to look at it if you own one.
All in all I say to anyone sitting on the ledge that I is worth every penny. I think leatherman has finally built the perfect everyday multitool. Lightweight, sexy and just the right amount of functionality.
