Leatherman Skeletool Review


I have seen lots of multitools everywhere and have handled several types and brands. Some of which are the Leatherman multitools. Some of the Leatherman multitools offer intriguing features such as lightweight features, quality of material they are made of, minimal tools, and some with just the right tools I need for my tasks.
But, what struck me most is the Leatherman Skeletool. Why? It is simple and pact with excellent tools and features that are very useful and helpful to my job.
The Leatherman Skeletool multi-tool is very unique and has a stylish look. When I compare the Leatherman Skeletool to other full-sized multi-tools, it is surely lighter since it only weighs 5oz. Eventhough it is light, the Skeletool is quite strong and sturdy. Besides this, all the tools making up the Leatherman Skeletool multitool are easily accessible and very easy to use.
However, the Leatherman Skeletool has also its imperfections or down features which takes it inconvenient to use than other multitools. These deficiencies do not also make it easy for me to perform my tasks as well. This means there are some compromises making it up which includes:
  1. The screwdriver in this multi-tool is not capable of loosening or tightening screws that are deeply situated or recessed. A bit extender is quite handy and can surely help in this situation.
  2. Due to simplicity, other useful tools usually included in other multitools are not included in the Skeletool multitool.

The Leatherman Skeletool multitool has its own pros and cons when it comes to the features it includes, the tools making it up and its usage as well. But for me, the Skeletool satisfies me in so many ways that other multitools are not capable to provide. Plus, the Skeletool is affordable. Also, it is very light to carry with me and I can easily clip it to my pocket or to my back pack. All in all, I suggest that you purchase and give a this Leatherman Skeletool a try.
