Leatherman Skeletool - 7 Tools In 1
In this day and age outdoor enthusiasts aim to keep weight and volume as low as possible without losing quality and necessary functionality. Although multi-tools have many choices, many are often heavier with extra features than are used on a day to day basis. Conversely, little knives are light and sleek, but render themselves useless when necessary adjustments call for a tool. Enter the new, five-ounce Skeletool platform: Minimal weight, small size and endless capabilities.
Whether you're into hiking out in the forest, rock climbing, dirt biking, skiing, fishing, or beginning a DIY project at home; there are just some things you can't do without. "We could all agree that a superior knife, strong pliers and a good screwdriver were the ideal mix," said Sr. Design Engineer John Nenadic. "The task meant looking back to the very first concept of the PST and altering the look of pocket functionality for present day buyers."
Skeletool's outside-accessible blade means, in a similar way to a pocket knife, it can be opened without delay with one hand. Bit driver technology makes it possible to customize the screwdriver for all tasks. Take a single bit that comes with the product, and can be stored within the handles, or integrate the Leatherman bit kit (sold separately) and there are as many as 42 Hex, Robertson, Pozi, Torx, Phillips and Slotted bit extensions. Full-size pliers with wire cutters and folding handles-as only Leatherman is able to produce them-are tough, comfortable and easy-to-use.
Two models of the tool, Leatherman Skeletool and Leatherman Skeletool CX began being distributed worldwide in January 2008. The Skeletool model is stainless steel with a 420HC blade and retails for £69.95. Skeletool CX is also stainless steel but has a DLC Tungsten coating for scratch resistance plus a 154CM straight blade that is very easy to sharpen. MSRP for the CX model is £89.95. Both versions are supplied with the impressive Leatherman 25 year warranty.
