Tool failed quickly and the warranty sucks

"Plier jaws exploded because of what's clearly a manufacturing defect and they force me to pay out of pocket and ship it off to even get a set of eyes on it. Love the idea of this tool but it does not live up to standard of drop shipped multi tools at a quarter of the price. I used to really be a fan of Leatherman and was ready to take a chance on this oddball little tool, but I really don't think I'm going to ever purchase a Leatherman tool again."

It's not the tool, it's the QC.

"I have several Skeletools (this new one makes 6). I purchased all of them new. This is the first time I've had an issue with one of them. Beans new, out of the box, one of the arms would not engage so I couldn't open the plier head. I sent it back for replacement. I got my new replacement Skeletool in a couple weeks. Right out of the box, the blade won't lock without me forcefully pulling itinto place. I think it's one of the washers that isn't perfectly round. I've worked with it and sometimes it locks perfectly but after 2-3 open close cycles I assume the washer gets spun around to it's wonky side and it won't lock again."

Overall good pocket multitool.

"I wanted a smaller profile knife to carry in my pocket. I found this multitool that allowed for additional utility but kept the same profile as a compact knife. The screwdriver bits have come in handy when needed. Only con I've found so far is I wish the thumb hole was a bit bigger for larger hands to open/close the blade easier. Maybe change it for a stud instead."

"Its a perfect size for EDC clipped to your pocket. I have other Leatherman models that I use when i need more tolls but this is a great combo of what you need and the slim profile and light weight makes it easier to carry daily when not on a jobsite."

Fantastic!

"This is my second Skeletool CX with the color being the deciding factor. Given its minimalistic design, it is easy to be carried in the Leatherman pouch with other key essential tools that can immediately be accessible either via a backpack or the center console of your vehicle."

Awesome gift!

"I ordered this for my son for his birthday to replace one he'd gotten for himself and lost. I was excited that I could customize the tool, with the blade pattern and added engraved message. He loved it! He said it made it extra special to be reminded of mom every time he uses it"

Carry it daily

"Very useful and compact edc. The knife is very sharp and the bits are useful"

Replaced a part of me

"I have carried one of these for more years than I can count. My old one was very beat up and I finally stuck it somewhere where it should not have gone. RIP old friend. So I got a new old and had it customized. Nobodies knife but mine. It will be in my pocket when they put me under."

FUNCTIONAL ART

"Skeletool CX in Sandstorm is SICK. I catch myself just staring at it. I use it constantly at work and just love it. I have owned my original CX for years and it's still perfect. Had to have color options!"

Solid tool 4/5

"Why 4/5 stars The blade does not move as smoothly as the commercials. It’s a bit stiff to extract as are all the tools. However, it’s a solid tool with the basics"
