Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

If you're looking for a lightweight but sturdy little multi tool, this is about as good as it gets. Everything is very sturdy and all of the tools are useful and not afterthought add ons. Wavesurge is a fantastic tool as well, and i love it, but it's ... Read More

The blade comes razor sharp. My single complaint is that the screwdriver blade is too tight in its socket. It's great that it has a knife made with great steel with no useless serrations.

The skeletool is mostly a pliers, a decent sized 154cm knife blade, and a couple screwdriver bits. The pliers also include a wire cutter and the carabiner clip works as a bottle opener. The plyers, knife and driver are all very usable.

It looks great, fits neatly in the pocket (i'd recommend vertx defiance jeans because they have additional pockets meant for small items), and isn't too bulky. Unlike other more complex multitools, it neatly fits into a jeans pocket without adding too... Read More

Quality

This model is real nice for the upgraded steel on the knife blade and i definitely prefer the solid edge over the partially serrated models

The knife is extremely sharp and high quality.

The pocket clip hasn’t gotten caught on anything and the screwdriver bit never falls out.

The tool is so small and light it doesn’t feel like you’re carrying anything!

Price

I decided to get the cx for $90 today because the 154cm straight blade.

I had to hammer the through-pin to tighten the spring, which for $80 is a little less than impressive.

Shipping

The company i purchased this from delivered exactly what i wanted.

" i ordered the items, left for town and they had been delivered by the time i returned home.

Competitiveness

The cm154 blade is great and comes very sharp from factory, which as someone who’s a bit of a sharpening nerd i can tell you th... Read More

Also love the simplicity compared to other leatherman knives

Skeletool cx really fits my particular most frequent needs better than other popular multitools.

I’d say spend an extra $15 and get the premium straight edge blade, but the other offerings in 420 come in some really cool col... Read More
