Pros

The skeletool has all the basic tools you want in a mulit-tool without others you don't really need. The bit driver is very handy and the nail file is perfect for on the go. Easy to clip and unclip from pocket or attach to keys or belt loop with carab...  Read More

The 420 hc is a well-known and respected brand. The cx version is a little more pricy than the standard model, but it's worth the extra money to have a non-serrated blade.
