One with a corkscrew and fork would be nice too.





Or the Evil Skeletool.

If Leatherman made Evils Skeletool I would buy two.

I remember Evil's work quite well.  Has anyone heard from him lately?

[bmot]

i am happy with my cx, i do not need a damond file, but i believe that more skeletool types will come.

Hmmm... A Skeletool with scissor? 

[Mercury]

Hmm, seems like a tool was released with a similar hammer after that mod was posted....



I disagree on the skele and MUT variants possibly being more to come.  Leatherman has consistently shown that multiple variants of their tools mean that even slightly older variants get retired in order for the newer ones to be produced.  I highly doubt that the SX would replace anything, and they have flat told me in emails that their Sport specific tools will not be replacing their main line.  Beyond adding scissors, I fail to see what else Leatherman* would do with their Skeletool platform.  And since they seem to like not having either scissors or an awl on many tools, they aren't likely to add either to the skele. 

I'm with Jzmtl, there are much more functional ways to achieve what the SX can do. 


*Not modders

I was devastated when I learned the s didn't stand for scissors

I like that concept!!!

[farrierphil]

Hmm. Ive never thought about buying a Skeletool (a bit too lightweight for me) let alone a Skeletool with one of my wifes emery-boards stuck to it!

Just no pictures of the dancing, please. 




Pics of the tools once they get in are always welcome thought.

Use the pliers and get that hangnail!!!

[farrierphil]

So what we are all saying is that this is one for my wife!  ALTHOUGH  maybe that would stop her stealing MY Charge. Leatherman you are a genius! 

[ironraven]

OK, late to the party, but I think this needs the devil's advocate.

I agree with all the concerns about the point of this idea, and what might happen in the future, but I don't see a toy for giggles.

This isn't much of a diamond file, but I carry one of the little "GI" keychain sharpening stones in my possibles bag when I'm in the woods and those are smaller than this. And I've said since it was introduced the Skeletool partnered with a Vic Huntsman or similiar gives you a good, well rounded toolset for off the blacktop. And depending on the grit, while I see it might be hard on pockets, it shouldn't be too hard on hands.

But it looks like they will be pooching the marketing

[Accujohn]

Way late here... But I stopped by the LM store today and noticed the SX. My first reaction was wtf?! At first I thought they needed to replace their trashed display model cx. But anyway, what a bizarre application.

[Mercury]

I thought it was a lame addition, pretty much a copout.

[NKlamerus]

Well. Today I learned that there is such a thing as a SX....... 

[av8r1]

I have no problem with Leatherman making extreme sports tools.  My first notion of Leatherman tools is outdoors/boy scouts/etc.  It's not a far leap from hiking and camping to mountain biking, skiing, snowboarding etc.

The problem is their approach.  Taking an existing tool from the lineup and gluing a file on the side or replacing some of the screwdrivers with a fin tool (why do surfboard fins not use standard drivers?) just clutters up the catalog with stuff no one really wants.  The flat tools aren't much better.

Meanwhile, seemingly no R&D at all is going into the trades-oriented tools.

There is only one SX own by a MTO member that I know of.

 I used my Leatherman Wave to saw off the jagged part of a wooden handle which had snapped off near the head of this broom at work. Then I used the pliers to twist the remaining nub out of the broom head & continued with the pliers in installing the new handle. I would'nt have been able to get that done without my Leatherman. Big points with bossman.

Thanks Leatherman, (Thank you Wave).

The Wave does so much for me on a daily basis. When I work at Advanced Auto Parts I truly wouldn't be caught dead without it. So much utility in this little package. Little enough for me at least. I love my Wave!

I used my Leatherman Wave to saw the remainder off of a broken broom stick and used the pliers to twist the nub out of the broom head. Then continued with the pliers in installing the new handle. Would not have been able to get that done otherwise. Big points with bossman too. Thanks Leatherman, (Thank you Wave).

Glad to hear another LM fan has joined us.

However, wrong thread bud.

Maybe start with an introduction, then work your way to "what did you use your Leatherman for today"

[365Survival]

Ur probably right bud haha, intro would have been nice I'm sure. I just got all stoked on everyones else's posts & I wanted to through something on here so bad. I'll rewind a little and make my way to the intro forum though bud, for sure.
