I hope something turns up soon on the job front Farmman.


I have 2 of the devils & here they are 



I had forgotten what a wonderful blend of Form & Function the Skeletool is  .



The long MUT tool bits are great , I hope LM bring out a greater variety of these longer tool bits

hi Seniors and Newbies alike..
my first discussion post (after the introductory thread)... to be in Skeletool owners Club...
pls do accept my sincere apology if my 1st post is a bit formal, as im aware of certain forum ettique (and pardon my english too)..

well, my 1st post and my old story of my 1st LM (apart from Vics).. .. a Skeletool (SS 1st), then comes the Red Rei version. Both were pre-owned, locally and from eb about a year ago..the Red has some paint nicks on them, and now kept in the holding bay...with other MTs...8-)

the frame design catches me, as its looks cool & futuristic and Skele SS is my bagged edc..
may need to get other colour too..thats the 'inner peace' to rein in the 'want'..

ps.. could not open the attached photo link, as im read/writing from mobile..



from a year on..im starting to get few Vics (sorry!) from Tim FVEAP , more LMs ... well thats another story....8-)

cheers..

I have the Skeletool CX with the serrated blade. It doesn't get much pocket time these days (my juice kf4 is my current edc), but it does stay clipped to my man bag, with leatherman's bit kit in the bag.

What it does lack in tools, it more than makes-up for in "cool factor"! I wish that Leatherman would add carbon fiber to all their tools!

Yes!!!

Here's mine:

Well I have one too, with CE blade which, on this tool I like. Adds to its capabilities IMO.

I am a big fan of the Skeletool, second Leatherman I ever owned.

I got one a couple of weeks ago so I am now in the “cool” group, init?

Impressions:

Cool terminator 1 look, especially when open at 90 degrees.

The blade is smaller than I expected. I was thinking it would have this huge blade, dominating the whole tool, but apart from its width it is similar to the blade of my juice, init?

The paint on the screwdriver bits is already wearing off, after being taken out a few times; not very impressive.

The pliers look a bit more robust than the juice ones.

The blade has to be opened quite fast to lock safely; otherwise the liner lock does not move enough to properly secure the blade.

The blade seems secure enough and its “backspring” is solid, unlike the similar style system.

Just as we speak, I'm getting tempted with one Skele CX for 45$

I found the same thing with the black coating on the bits but I mist say I have been putting leatherman bits through a lot and haven't stripped one yet, and they bite nicely IMHO. I also hoped the blade would be bigger but I don't have the problem you are having with the liner lock. Mine clicks into place with no effort at all. Is yours the newer version as in PE on CX?
