 Great tool in a small package March 24, 2008

Just received my Skeletool CX and my first impression was wow. I had pre-ordered it months ago and it arriving was a surprise, it's great when you get a present for yourself. Its light with minimalist lines, yet when you open it, it feels comfortable in your hand. The knife blade is large compared to the entire package but it's smaller then I expected. It's not a replacement for the full sized Leatherman but something that can do almost everything the full sized one can with a fraction of the space.
No problem with the bit driver like the 2 star reviewer. I'm a Leatherman/Gerber nut and so far, I like this one a lot. It's a great tool to have when pocket space is at a premium.
Amazing combination of size and weight! March 17, 2008

I first saw articles about the new Skeletool CX well before Christmas. It looked to be exactly what I needed. A good knife, a convenient screwdriver, a pair of pliers, and most importantly, a tungsten coated bottle opener.
Now that I finally received it some four months later, I can say that it is truly amazing. It is not too small nor too large, and the weight is pretty amazing considering how much some of the other multitools weigh. I hardly notice it in my pocket. Best of all, the bottle opener works to perfection (I live in Wisconsin, this is critical for me).
Comfortable, solid, and the perfect size. April 3, 2008

After patiently waiting four months to receive my Skeletool from Amazon it finally came. The CX is smaller than I initially expected but it really is as big as it needs to be. It feels comfortable in the hand and looks amazing. There is very little flex when using the pliers, although it is possible to pinch your thumb between the handles if you are not careful. The knife can be opened with one hand and locks in place nicely. The bit driver feature also has a locking lever which is pressed to change bits. I've owned other multi-tools (i.e. gerber, swiss army) and never used all the features. The CX has the essentials leaving it light weight and well balanced. Just clip it to the inside of your pocket with the belt clip and you can't even tell it is there. I highly recommend it.
worth the wait March 17, 2008

I ordered this item in November when I first heard about it and have been waiting on it for 4 months. The only thing I have to say is "It was worth the wait!" The design is amazing and everything works great. Once again Leatherman has created a great product that iw proudly made in the USA.
The light weight makes it easy to carry in the pocket without being too bulky. The location of the bit driver makes it convenient to use but is hidden when the tool is folded. My first reaction was that it is small( have been carrying a Leatherman Wave), but it fits great in your hand both when the tool is open and closed.
Very Pleased with Skeletool March 25, 2008

I just recieved my skeletool after months of waiting (like many of you) and I believe that it was well worth the wait. It is evident that leatherman did indeed use the extra time to make sure that quality was up to par. The skeletool is wonderful. The design is stunning, the craftsmanship excellent, which is what has become expected from leatherman, and the knife seems very sharp and durable. Others have mentioned the knife being "stiff" and while it is a bit, I wouldn't be upset if it never loosened up, I don't believe that it is too bad and can still flip it open with one hand easily. The skeletool feels amazing in your hand, light but solid and sturdy. I can't even tell when its hooked to my belt its so light. Oh and also, the bottle opener works wonderfully! I most certainly recommend it to others, despite the long waiting list and increasing price.
