Leatherman Skeletool
Leatherman Skeletool
The Skeletool is probably the Leatherman I use the most often, and is certainly carried the most.
Mine lives in the hydration back pack that I use when out on the mountain bike. I'm not a big fan of trail centre riding. I prefer exploring new areas and that means carrying a tool setup that can sort most issues. It's not a case of walking back to the cafe/shop.
I mainly carry the Skeletool for the pliers and wire cutters, but all of its seven tools have been used at one time for another.
The key feature is its weight - just 145 grams, which means I don't notice carrying it. So it also comes with me when hiking with the family and when snowboarding.
This is the Black and Coyote Brown version.
The Leatherman Skeletool has 7 tools:
- Needlenose Pliers
Perfect for holding small objects or using the pliers in tight, narrow spaces.
- Regular Pliers
Conveniently hold and manipulate items.
- Hard-wire Cutters
Easily cut through electrical hard wires.
- Wire Cutters
Cut regular-gauge electrical wire with this durable, edge-retaining tool.
- 420HC Combo Knife
A knife made from 420HC stainless steel with a half straight and half serrated edge. This style of blade gives the user a choice of precise cuts using the plain section, or cutting through fibre and rougher material using the serrated area.
- Carabiner/Bottle Opener
This tool features a one way gate and allows for easy clipping to a belt loop or strap. It can also be used to pop the top on a favourite beverage.
- Large Bit Driver
Easily switch out full-size bits to customize your multi-tool.
It also has these great features:
-
Handle Bit Storage
Conveniently store Leatherman tool bits in the handle of your multi-tool for easy access in the middle of a job, or for safe keeping when not in use.
-
Locking Blade
A knife blade that locks into place when fully deployed. A user must manually unlock the blade to fold it away, which allows for a much safer user experience.
-
Replaceable Pocket Clip
A removable clip which allows the user to wear their multi-tool attached to a pocket or belt loop without the use of a sheath. By removing the clip, the user is able to easily carry their tool in a sheath if preferred.
-
Outside-accessible Features
This multi-tool features tools that are accessible while the tool is in its folded or closed position, mimicking the functionality of a pocket knife.
-
One-hand Operable Features
Every feature on this tool can be opened and operated with one hand. This enables the user to keep the other hand free for situations that require multi-tasking or a free hand.
