According to the manufacturer, the Skeletool CX weighs 5 ounces or approximately 142 grams, making it a relatively lightweight multitool. What steel is the Leatherman Skeletool CX knife made of? The main knife of the Skeletool CX is made of 154CM stainless steel and features a straight cutting edge. The blade length is 6.6 cm. Does the Leatherman Skeletool CX blade lock? Yes. The blade has a locking mechanism that keeps it open during use. The manufacturer also describes the lock as a separate safety feature. What tools does the Leatherman Skeletool CX have? The Skeletool CX includes needlenose pliers, regular pliers, wire cutters, hard-wire cutters, a 154CM knife, carabiner/bottle opener, and a large bit driver. When is the Leatherman Skeletool CX the best choice? The Leatherman Skeletool CX is the best choice when low weight, compactness, and the most important tools are more important than the maximum number of functions. Its 154CM steel knife, pliers, wire cutters, and bit driver cover most common small tasks. When should you consider alternatives? If you need more features, such as scissors, a saw, files, or a wider selection of screwdrivers, you should look for a larger multitool. For example, the Leatherman Wingman sold at Jahipaun includes 14 tools and the Wave+ has 18 tools. Jahipaun's recommendation: A practical detail is the bit storage integrated into the handle and the ability to use important functions with one hand. However, if you already know you’ll need scissors, a saw, or several different files, I recommend choosing a larger Leatherman model. In the case of the Skeletool CX, fewer functions is a conscious choice, not a drawback. Summary The greatest strength of the Skeletool CX is its ability to remain simple. It does not try to be a tool with 15–20 different functions, but focuses on those you are most likely to need daily. Pliers, wire cutters, a high-quality 154CM steel knife, and a bit driver make a very practical set. Especially impressive is its weight – about 142 grams. It is small enough to be comfortable for daily pocket or belt carry, yet it is not just an emergency mini multitool.

Its main tools are needlenose and regular pliers, wire cutters, hard-wire cutters, a 154CM stainless steel 6.6 cm long knife, carabiner/bottle opener, and a large bit driver. The blade locks and the multitool can be used one-handed. The set includes Phillips #1 and #2 and 1/4" and 3/16" screwdriver bits. The Skeletool CX is especially well-suited for everyday carry, hiking, the car, and light repairs for users who prefer low weight and a compact design over a large number of tools.
