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.

"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 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"
"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."
"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"
"As a new tool, it needs a little bit of break-in. Work all the parts because it’s pretty stiff. The design of the bits is really fantastic and replaces how much bigger portable tool set. I recommend the bit kit for additional versatility."
"I gifted a cousin of mine The Arc a number of years ago, and when a younger cousin reached his teens, I consulted with the Arc owner about the most-used tools, and what was kind of filler. . . . long and the short of it, I landed on the Skeletool CX and am extremely satisfied!"
"I carry this tool daily and use it a few times a day always. I had the plyers snap on one of mine, I have 5, and it was a quick fix at no charge other then shipping. They even put a new blade on it for me. I am lost without this tool in my business."
