Just enough of what you need | |

| I use to carry just a simple single blade pocket knife that clipped to my pocket. However I noticed that I often asked it to do simple little tasks that it wasn't made for (turn into a screw driver or wire strippers). The Skeletool meets all my needs as a daily tool with way more skill than just a knife but with out going crazy and offering a million options like most multi tools. I use the knife daily for simple cutting of boxes or what ever (nice because it opens on the outside of the handle and locks), but now I have the joy of screw drivers (two sizes of each), pliers (which have worked great fishing on the rivers), wire strippers and don’t forget the bottle opener, all this while still clipping to my pocket. For simple daily tasks it’s awesome! Have had it for a few months now with no issues and I carry it every day. If you enjoy having every tool known to man on your hip this is NOT for you. | |

Happy w/ the tool, not with Leatherman | |
| Rating: |  |
| I love the tool, I wanted the CX model, but it's still not available. So I bought this one. The tool is a great size, it's built fantastically. It was a little stiff at first, but has loosened a little since I've had it. I carry it everyday on my belt loop(replacing a Leatherman e307x) it works well there. With the size, and functionality I could recommend it to anyone. The only thing that would make it better would be making it a little lighter, but the only way I could see them doing so is using a lighter metal. I can't say the weight is bad, it DOES feel good in the hand. I will be buying the CX when/if it ever makes it out, just for the combo blade. Leatherman did an EXCELLENT job with this design, I only wish they could do a little better with the release. | |

Great Tool! | |

| I'm in the Navy and have owned many, many multi-tools. This is by far the best I've ever had. I love that I don't need a stupid little pouch to put it on my belt. No ridiculous tools that I never use (like a tiny, worthless saw.) I love that I don't have to open the thing to get the knife. I expected to lose one of the bits first thing, but they stay surprisingly secure and I haven't lost one yet. The pliers do cut into your hand if you have the flat-tip bit out, easy enough to keep the phillips out instead. Otherwise it's fairly ergonomic and much stronger than expected. I have broken the pliers on all the Gerber brand tools I have used. The clip bent when I caught it on something, so now I clip it to my belt loop. | |

"Sleek n lightweight bare minimum multitool" | |
| Rating: | |
| I started out with a Charge Xti, it has everything n then some. But it is rather heavy n you won't always need everything that is has. So the skeletool seemed like a logical choice. It has the very essential tools for everyday, the most important, a knife n pliers (bottle opener too). It is a lot lighter than the Xti n very easy to use. The extra bits fit nicely into the sides n don't get in the way when in use. opening and closing of the pliers n knife is a lil rough at first but smooth out pretty fast. It severs it's purpose as a basic multitool well. It's small, light weight easy to use, and when you don't need everything of a full size multitool it's a good choice. | |

Down to the essentials | |

| This has become my daily knife, replacing my old favorite, the Swiss Army Knife. I use this thing all the time; I even used the pliers to remove a tick last night.Nice big locking blade accessible without opening the pliers, very cool interchangeable screwing heads, good sturdy pliers, and a bottle opener. The carabiner/bottle opener is cool, and I use the side clip for pants that don't have belt loops.Not super easy to use the screwdrivers because of how you have to hold it (half open), and the flathead bits are sharp if you forget they're in.I bought the Tungsten version of this and almost immediately traded it in for the aluminum, which is plenty durable, barely weighs a few ozs more, and costs [$] less. | |

Just Great | |
| Rating: | |
| This is an all-around great tool. It has only the functions that I need, and I haven't come upon a single task that I can't do without it. The pliers are incredibly sturdy, and I feel I can grip hard without hurting my hand. I like the belt clip, although most of the time I keep it clipped on my pocket. The knife was sharp when I bought it, and it keeps a blade well. The only problem I've ever had with it is a bit of rust in one spot. It is incredibly small, though, and doesn't seem to be getting any bigger. Overall, this is a great tool for any task. | |

| Leatherman has done it yet again. They down sized to the basics and made a tool with the tools you will really use. I have carried a Leatherman Wave for a fairly long time, But I got the skeletool for my birthday two weeks ago, and it has been in my pocket ever since. I like to show it off to my friends. You can feel the Leatherman quailty when you hold it in you hands. I like the way it clicks when the pliers are put into the working position. | |

"Excellent Tool" | |
| Rating: | |
| Although I bought the CX version of this for some reason I cannot find it on the site any more. Either way, it's a great little tool that you can always keep on hand. Perfect size and weight, I don't go anywhere without it anymore. If you need a simple tool with all the necessities and none of the excess, buy this. | |

"Good tool" | |
| Rating: | |
| This is a great multi tool, strong and light with the bare minimums. You can't go wrong with this tool. If you want more like a saw, fish scaler and the like buy a bigger tool. Just remember weight is important and do you really need ALL that stuff? You may, but this tool is plenty if you know what you're doing. | |

Great all-around tool, well worth it | |
| Rating: | |
| All around, the best multi-tool I have bought. It has only what you need, nothing you don't. I have brought this camping, keep it in my car and have used it all over the place. It has been reliable in all those circumstances. This is definitely a tool you can count on in a number of different areas. | |

| I purchased the Skeletool as a replacement for my original Leatherman tool. Two days before I went on a three week trip to northern Manitoba I found the original and took both tools along. After three weeks I am not impressed by the Skeletool. On the plus side: It looks sharp, has a nice locking blade (way better than the original) and most tools do more or less what they are supposed to do. However, the glitzy design makes it uncomfortable to use for many tasks, the driver bits are not all that great for poking and prying (when you don't want to use your blade), there is no file or can opener, and, if not careful, the bottle opener breaks the rim of the bottle. The belt clip is handy, but I feel more comfortable having the tool solidly stashed away in a belt pouch after I lost a few things that were attached by a simple belt clip. The tool is about the same size as the Original Leatherman tool and weighs insignificantly less. It is NOT a full-size multitool at half the weight, as claimed by Leatherman. The open design collects sand and dirt and makes the tool hard to clean. Finally, the tool starts to rust after hanging out in my (admittedly often wet) pant pockets for a bit less than three weeks. | |

"I wouldnt buy it again" | |
| Rating: |  |
| Its a nice little tool. But you can feel it bending and twisting where it's not supposed to bend when you use the screwdrivers. Then I broke the pliers bending a small piece of wire. Maybe i was to rough on it for being a light weight tool. | |
