Skeletool CX in the UK for 45 quid!

[DaveK]

.... honestly

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

That is a bit of a result

[DaveK]

I was tempted to get a spare that's for sure - but I have other stuff on my list atm....

[nuphoria]

Cor' blimey guvna' 

 I think my used one cost about that much, and was a bargain!

[cerbera147]

Good find Dave 

Cheaper than the regular Skeletool  Are they clearing out stocks of the first blade design i.e. moving from the combo blade to the PE blade? I would prefer the CX with the PE blade but at £45 delivered I could live with the combo blade  Now to convince the missus 

[DaveK]

I reckon it's probably a mistake - but they've apparently delivered a couple of them already

[Magnus]

it is certainly tempting... but I never really liked the skeletool...

but... it is very cheap....

hmm....

you guys are a bad influence, dammit!

[cerbera147]

I got my Wave for £47-99 and Squirt S4 for £22-99 at Argos in Aug/Sept.

Argos currently have a regular Skeletool priced at £64-99; I reckon it may be reduced soon too  Worth watching 

[cerbera147]

Well I bit the bullet and ordered one of these today [I love this smiley]

Now I guess I'll have a collection  all three of them.

I'll get photos in Chako's Leatherman Collection thread when it arrives 

[WhichDawg]

it's nice to see some deals across the pond! (mistake or not)

good luck and deals to all of you

[cerbera147]

Eeeeeek; it's jumped up to £67-25

I am glad I ordered today  , guess I got the last of their clearance stock or they spotted the error

[DaveK]

Hehe.

Well I'm glad you got in before the change mate

I know that the RRP of the Skeletool CX over here is 89.95, and Whitby's will only allow retailers to discount them by a maximum of 25% for about one month in each calendar year. So, 67.25 is the cheapest they are allowed to sell them if they want to continue to be supplied. It's shocking really.

It looks as though Amazon "got caught"

I hope they honour your deal.....

Thanks Dave,

The order shows as £45 and according to their system it is on its way to me 

So any new Leatherman in the UK will be supplied by solely by Whitby's? Every DIY shop and online retailer? I did not know that  No wonder the prices are consistently high across the board  

[DaveK]

Yes that's right, they have a sole import agreement with Leatherman Tool Group.

It has long been my opinion that by fixing the prices so high, they sell far fewer tools than they could, but they claim to know best!

[DaveK]

Hehe.

Did it show up yet?

[cerbera147]

Did it show up yet?

Sadly no  

I placed the order on Tuesday with free delivery; Amazon said it was despatched on Wednesday morning. I had expected by now. To be fair their estimated delivery date is Monday so hopefully tomorrow  

Additionally

Severe Weather Conditions. Due to severe weather conditions, deliveries across the country are being delayed.

[DaveK]

It looks as though they're going to deliver on it though. Cool!

[cerbera147]

It has arrived   and for the princely sum of £45-94  

Here is a pic, not great quality though, of my new acquisition with its two new friends  

I plan on taking some quality shots later of my 'collection'

Max EDC Organiser should be here tomorrow with any luck  

Dave, I get the feeling you are leading me astray   I can see myself on the top of a slippery slope  

[Gareth]

On top of a slippery slope?  I'm sorry to tell you, but you're already over the edge.

Great deal on the Skeletool mate.

[cerbera147]

Great deal on the Skeletool mate.

This website should have a health warning; severe damage to wallet can occur followed by extreme happiness when your tools arrive 

Thanks for the push down the slope Dave 

[DaveK]

Hey don't blame me for your weakness!

Cracking deal though eh?

We usually warn people when they welcome them - it's like a disclaimer

Great deal BTW 

[cerbera147]

It certainly was a great deal considering it is now at £65 with Amazon, thanks again Dave 

And yes I am weak when it comes to new toys
