Tools and Hardware Reviews of Leatherman 830850 Skeletool CX Multitool
Customer Review: *Extremely* Handy + Terrific Customer Service
Summary: 5 Stars
I carry this everywhere, and it's saved me *many* trips down to my toolbox in the basement. It's quite light, and doesn't take up too much pocket space.
The design is really ingenious. I particularly love the changeable bits. The Skeletool ships with double-ended flat and Philips bits, and they store in the knife, so you're never without them. I bought the accessory bit set. It covers about 95% of the fasteners you're likely to run into.
The combination general-purpose/needlenose pliers are really quite good. Having the skinny tips has come in handy more than once.
In hindsight, I *might* go for the non-CX Skeletool simply because I like its smooth knife blade rather than the CX's semi-serrated. It's easier to sharpen. OTOH, the CX is excellent as-is, and the carbon-fiber is sexy. And yes, 154CM is better than 420HC. Not sure how much that matters in real life, though.
Yours truly broke off the tip of the knife blade (my fault, not the CX's). I wrote Leatherman an email. They said to send them $10 ($9? can't remember) for repair and return shipping. That sounded like a good deal, so I did it. After a couple of weeks I got a BRAND NEW CX along with my original uncashed check. I feel almost embarrassed at their generosity.
Anyway, I'd buy this again in an instant. I'm even tempted to squirrel another one away in case Earth is hit by an asteroid and they stop making them.
Customer Review: 100% cool but not that full in practicality
Summary: 4 Stars
It's a nice and cutting-edge designed tool. However it doesn't come with some useful tools such as can opener. And the pliers doesn't got a spring under it, which make it not so easy to use with single hand.
With the compact size and light weight, it's a great design still. I recommend it as a second multitool for users. Nice to have one but not so necessary for real multitool players.
Customer Review: 2xbetter
Summary: 5 Stars
Skeletool CX Multitool is twice as good as expected. It's my fifth Leatherman product. It has paid for itself several times over in the first two weeks by being just what I needed to repair my wife's wheelchair. Well engineered.

Customer Review: A Great Compact Tool Box
Summary: 5 Stars
This little multitool is truly a mini-toolbox that fits nicely in your pocket. Great blade - just right for small tasks, without being bulky; the pliers are perfect for most light tasks. I expected a flimsy little tool, with limited use, BUT I was pleasantly surprised with how solid and durable this mini-multitool actually is. I strongly recommend it if you are looking for a new pocket knife that does alot more than just cut stuff. GJMCustomer Review: A Must Have!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a must have for any man out there. I wish there were better instructions, not all men are mechanically inclined, but thanks to YouTube helped one of my friends out. It is durable and with the Leatherman Name you can't go wrong.
