I believe the blade steel on the CX version is higher grade than the standard skeletool.

Love the way leather man stands behind there products I alway feel like I have to get what ever they come out with next

The regular one has half serrated blade and 420 stainless metal. The difference in the CX is the 154CM steel, and it's full straight blade. The CX is an incredible EDC tool.

Yeah great tool! Good note on the steel, having trouble finding that documented for the regular version. But I don’t doubt it.

@foley1674 4 жыл бұрын

The original CX came with serrated blade. Then they switched to selling them only straight. Half serrated that is.

@aarronwootton 2 жыл бұрын

The original Skeletool came with a straight 420HC blade (I owned it for years) and the original CX model came with a combo (half serrated) 154CM blade. Leatherman changed this after feedback from users suggested they swap the style of blades, putting the combo blade in 420 HC on the low end skeletool, and a straight blade in 154 CM on the CX.

You’re right the Skeletool is an excellent multitool. I picked up a couple of the regular Skeletools when the Home Depot by me had them on clearance for $20. I like the idea of 5he glass breaking bit. I wish Leatherman sold it separately. Great video!

It is extremely limited but I like the fact that you can add to it. So that makes it my favorite.

@lionelwylie2326 Жыл бұрын

I have carried the Skeletool for the last 15 years or odd, so it works for me. I like you switched the flat blade bit for the Phillips flat blade combo as I got sick of always changing the bit. much better just to flip it around. From day 1 I did not like the serrated/straight knife. After about 3 years I changed the blade to the straight knife. The bit and blade change made the Skeletool a perfect EDC for me.

I personally love my skeletool with the half serrated/half straight blade. Serrated boxes are always better cutting rope and string in my opinion.

@ronstoner1823 2 жыл бұрын

I bought the cx used a few years ago. I've never had any liking for a serrated or semi-serrated blade, more trouble than they're worth! I sometimes carry other multi tools, but the skeletool CX is ALWAYS clipped to my belt loop. It is always handy, and dependable. Won't leave home without it.

@Phlfwlr 3 жыл бұрын

I bought one for myself and then ended up giving it to someone for Christmas this year and now I need another lol but I bought the topo signal, so I’ll have fun with that for a while.

@Argon314 Жыл бұрын

I think you could count the two bits as four tools, since that's how they would be counted on any other multitool with dedicated or integrated screwdrivers for each. I really struggled to understand the Skeletool initially since it's a little different from the standard multitool mold, but the bits are what really turned it around for me. It's a really nice companion tool for the Wave if you buy the bit kit and other accessories.

@benschildgen4994 4 күн бұрын

I’ve had two of the CX model for work. Hands down the worst multi tool I’ve used. You ever drop a tool while working? If you drop this one you may lose your bits. Falling off a machine to a hard surface from even 3 feet can send your bits flying and you may never find them. Uncomfortable in the hand if you need to use a lot of pressure. Made for the light hobbyist at best. The blade is the only thing I have used on it that is worthwhile.

@ClashingwithTofu 4 жыл бұрын

I've got the very first version of the skeletool (bought in either 2007 or 2008) while not a CX, mine does have the straight blade without any serations. Today its still my favorite and i also have the Surge/Wave/Signal. I do miss my lost original Charge.

Tyfs. Great review. Right now (last night anyway) on the Leatherman site they are giving the bit kit free with a bunch of different multitool models. I ordered the regular Skeletool. I think the RX model used to come in orange as a color option, but right now the site only lists red.

Cx and rx blade is 154cm and the regular is 440c

You Americans are so lucky with your low prices of quality items.. Here, prices in local shop: Sidekick 92 dollars, Signal ST $190, Skeletool $110, Wave Box $170, Squirt PS4 $50. I can order on-line, of course, and it's cheaper, but probably 30-50% more expensive than in US. That's not all, german Amazon (usually) charges 10-25 euros for delivery to my country and US Amazon wants $50 for delivery and other duties to EU. I'm so jealous....

The original CX had a combination blade. Just sent mine off to get the bit driver fixed but I’m hoping they swop the blade out also.

Hah! Loved the story about how you sent the Skeletool in instead of the Wave. 300IQ move. I have a Skeletool on its way. Would have liked a CX but they're much more expensive where I am. Thanks for your review.

Tbh I wish they offered more variants of the skeletool in a straight blade... not that the CX is bad, but it forces me to have limited options since I don't prefer having serrations.

My skelettool reg has no serrations 17yrs new. Still great. The bits came as a double flat head and double Phillips as standard. Informative vid, (at least it is for us sad tool freak's),😂

I have this tool too but I don't really like it at all. It's uncomfortable to use the bit drivers because of the curve handle. Also the driver bit bites into my palm when I use the pliers. I wanted to love this tool but it just doesn't do it for me.

I would love to take my Skeletool when traveling but because of the knife it wouldn't get through TSA obviously. Does anybody have any modifications to get it through TSA? I suppose I could just remove the blade altogether but a scissors or something else in its place would be great. Let me know what you all think. TY

@err53 Жыл бұрын

There’s a scalpel holder mod and utility blade holder mod now, which lets you replace the blade with a blade holder instead. For a travel tool, a utility blade holder might be easier to source for at a local hardware store
