At the center of the Skeletool CX is a premium 154CM stainless steel blade. This plain edge blade stays sharper longer and resists rust. A plain edge blade is ideal for daily tasks. Perfect for opening boxes, slicing rope, or making quick, clean cuts when you need them most.
The Leatherman Skeletool CX weighs only 5 ounces (that's a medium size apple). This makes the CX our lightest pliers-based tool. Its slim design and strong materials make it ideal for hiking, biking, camping, or just getting through your day. It’s made to move with you, wherever you go.
The Leatherman Skeletool CX includes just the right essentials: pliers, wire cutters, and a bit driver with an extra bit stored in the handle. It also has a built-in carabiner that doubles as a bottle opener. Every tool is easy to access, locks securely in place, and is made to last through years of daily use.

"The price is high for the tools you get especially compared to other LTs that offer more versatility at comparable or even lower cost. I use the T2 more because it has been more useful. It is very stiff at first use. I added some lubricant so that helps. I pinched myself using the tool as I was closing it. Then I inadvertently jabbed myself with Phillips screw head. But other than that, I love it. The colors are wonderful. I even added personalization. This will be handed down to one of my sons. The carabiner is very useful. The blade is super sharp and durable. The pliers is just ok. My one wish is for another tool or pocket to store another screwdriver bit when only using the pliers. I'm still happy with new tool to the collection. Thank you!"
"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."
"I fall into the category that a person can not have too many Leatherman multitools and this one is just a joy to have! Sometimes it’s just a little minimal tool for light carry to get you by when needed!"
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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"
"Very useful and compact edc. The knife is very sharp and the bits are useful"
"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."
