Here’s what one of our gadget members had to say about the new Leatherman Skeletool:
The stripped down Leatherman with the only tools I ever actually used on my old Leatherman (except maybe the scissors).
Not just lighter and more compact, but superior in every way.
Comfortable grip (in either pliers or screwdriver position) – surprisingly flexible too allowing a really strong continuous hold.
Feels solid and well made.
Plus, the best and most surprising bottle opener known to man.
Perfect for fishing, biking, whatever.
