Product Overview

PREMIUM MATERIAL

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.

PERFECT FOR THE POCKET

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.

ESSENTIAL FEATURES

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.

Reviews

Nocturnal

"Absolutely love this Skeletool! I have the wave plus and signal, but they do not get carried that often since I carry them on my belt. This thing hasn’t left my pocket since it arrived! I have the Squirt, but it was too small for my personal taste, this is the perfect EDC to handle most my Dad tasks!"

Drake F. (5/5)

Great Corporate IT Gift

"Our IT staff members are incredibly versatile, handling a wide array of tasks across our numerous locations, and the Skeletool CX has proven to be an exceptionally well-suited tool for their diverse needs. We took the customization option one step further by adding our company logo to the blade, and the finished product is truly outstanding, exceeding all of our expectations! The ability to order 9 units simultaneously was also a significant advantage, greatly streamlining the process and ensuring a swift delivery, which we greatly appreciate."

Heath H. (5/5)

Really handy

"The skeletool is a very handy and easy to carry tool. Both pocket clip and carabiner attachments, this tool has pliars, knife blade and the changeable screwdriver , plus the all important bottle opener. Lighter weight than the full pocket tool designs, it is nicely contoured to fit the hand well when the knife is deployed. I have both the stainless skeletool and the CX is black with green handles. Both are part of my EDC regimen and are ganging somewhere handy all the time. Great tool at a great price."

Keith C. (5/5)

Greatest Leatherman tool ever!

"I probably own 5 or 6 of these skeletons that I've bought over the years. Beat one they make I think for tools available, size and comfort in pocket etc and overall versatility."

Gary M. (5/5)

Everything what is needed and nothing more

"The skeletool CX is probably one of the best EDC’s you can put money on. It is the pure definition of a mentalist maximized. Light easy to carry but always useful. Though it is amplified by having the spare bit kit. (highly recommended purchase. )"

John A. (5/5)

Great product

"Only gripe with the product I’ve encountered and it’s purely user error its just the knife portion likes to come out on its own while using the pliers and i slightly lacerated my finger but was purely user error"

Gil P. (4/5)

"The skeletool is what I hope for. Not bulky and very useful! Satisfied customer!"

Kenneth (5/5)

My opinion

"Enjoying this tool, only had it for about a month. If I had it do all over, I would have selected the serrated blade for my application."

Berk S. (5/5)

perfect

"I dropped mine while flipping my placards. I also ran over it with my truck and trailer, putting at most 13k pounds on it, and went to deliver my load. When I found it later, it was a little scratched but ready to rock. . . I could not get a better tool for my work gear"

Shelton S. (5/5)

Skeletool CX

"Nice weight. Fits well in jeans pocket. Solid collection of tools for everyday use. Great little tool, my second one because I liked the first so much."

Jeff G. (5/5)
