Reviews

The best EDC tool out there!

"This is my 3rd Skeletool. Very good small tool that you barely notice that its there, in your pocket. One thing that i don't see any use of is the pocket clip. I carry it upside down in my jeans pocket, through the carabiner clip, fits and stays well hidden, deep inside the pocket. I think Leatherman hit the nail with this one."

— STEVE F. (5/5)

Good overall!

"Good overall!"

— Debbie G. (5/5)

Excellent quality

"Great design, even the look. Great you can customize. Perfect gift."

— Tibor V. (5/5)

EDC champ

"I have several leathermans and 1 victorinox. While the skeletool lacks in number of tools, it delivers in ease of carry, and the tools it has are the most used. The only tool I missed in it is the package opener that I have on my T4, the knife fills the spot, but I don't like messing with its sharpness just to cut packages open."

— Iago S. (5/5)

"Great tool."

— Matija K. (5/5)

A great experience

"Loved the product. Very sturdy and overall a high quality. Some of the initial release pins were a bit hard to find and its a bit tough to open (likely by design), but overall an excellent product, would recommend a"

— Jeremy S. (5/5)

Excellent light carry product and excellent service

"So this is my second Skeletool CX that I'm sent. The jaws in the pliers were skewed out of the box. But with the great team at Leatherman arranged for me to get an replacement, even for me in my northern location of Iceland. Leatherman treats all their customers equally and with respect, and their warranty is rock solid. Thanks to Sherri, Elizabeth and Emma for their assistance. The Skeletool CX is the minimalistic light EDC pocket carry I was missing to complement my Surge and Arc that I carry daily in a sheath. The Skeletool is my choice when I want to carry without a sheath or all the extra tools I usually carry (bits, ratchets etc. ). And the CX has a solid blade straight blade and a couple of bits for to save a situation which you couldnt without a trusty multitool. Leatherman are excellent and proven products that I've bought 6 different kinds for me and my family, and my wife even bought 83 Wingmen for company giveaway. A must have EDC for a good day, and especially important for a day of challenge."

— Arnor K. (5/5)

I’ve bought for my son

"Nice present for my son"

— Konstantin S. (5/5)

Pocket knife that do more

"For me this is 70% pocket knife and 30% multi tool. It is lightweight and has a good blade, and when you need to do some light repair it is also has a decent pliers and screwdriver."

— Setiyo N. (5/5)

Best EDC ever

"Great and with the black color looks awesome"

— Benigno M. (5/5)
