Minimalist but genuinely capable, the Skeletool CX is a smart everyday multitool for those who want quality essentials without the bulk.
Leatherman says:
Skeletool CX packs the most essential tools into a lightweight, easy-to-carry package. The premium 154CM stainless steel straight-edge blade has a great balance of corrosion resistance and toughness. But, of course, it’s more than just a knife. The pliers, bit driver, and wire cutters will come in handy more often than you expect. To put it simply, the Skeletool CX has everything you need and nothing you don’t.

Our Verdict
At 148g, it offers just the right tools for quick fixes—needlenose pliers, wire cutters, a bit driver, and a stainless steel blade that impressively holds an edge. The blade is easy to open one-handed and locks securely, making it more useful than many multitool knives I’ve tried. The carabiner clip doubles as a bottle opener and makes it easy to keep the tool clipped to a pack or belt loop.
