Skeletool RX?

[Sazabi]

RX- maybe a pharmacist version with a pallet knife for counting pills......

I would be ok with that; sad to say my favorite spatulas are wooden handle ones from Pakistan; every single plastic handle/metal spatula advertising one our pharmacy has, I just want to chuck.  Spatulas shouldn't wiggle. >.>

Even better if it has a popper topper to make bottles non-safety lids, which it does (bottle opener), and a foil slicer for liquids bottles.  Best yet, if it could have needle nose pliers for unjamming our damn printers. -_-

According to Leatherman Group Customer Service Representative, the Skeletool RX was a miss-type on the Nylon MOLLE Sheath page and they apologize for the confusion..

They're not denying the existence of a Knifeless Rebar though?

Glad we got to the bottom of it. I am quite fond and content with my SX and CX skeles, though. For me thee's no need for yet another version.

Me neither. I have a feeling someone messed up and that is a excuse to not raise alarms of new tools. I could be wrong, but I hope they are covering something up as I really hope they reboot the Skeletool and Rebar. I would be more bummed if it actually was a typo and they are doing nothing to either the Skeletool or Rebar.

RX does seem like a fairly improbable typo. I'll buy that explanation if nothing comes of it by next summer, but until then I consider this up in the air.
I like the idea of a rescue oriented Skeletool, so here's hoping the speculation is on the right track.

[Demel]

I dont buy it either. If they do a knifeless rebar it should be removing the blade layers, and fixing the edges to remove the hot spots by the file and saw. Everyone knows how I feel about the skeletool

[BIG-TARGET]

Skeletool RX= "Prescription Skeletool"?? 

[AimlessWanderer]

Skeletool RX= "Prescription Skeletool"?? 

Skeletool suppository? The other skele's are so frequently likened to what comes out, they decided to make one to go in instead?

That was my line thinking. If RX had been in place of CX or SX on only one product page, then probably. However, the other models are listed and it's mentioned on several pages. Also, R is not all that close to either C or S on the keyboard, so a fat finger scenario is unlikely.

I want.. no... i DEMAND a knifeless rebar..

It's the Signal - original name for it was Skeletool RX (Really Xpensive).

Skeletool RX= "Prescription Skeletool"?? 

I got a fever, and the prescription is more cow bell

I have nothing against a specialty multitool.  Especially, if it can actually be useful.  Now there has been some specialty MTs made for M-16s, AK-47s, etc.  Still, not a lot of people own them. 
Now if LM(and competitors) want to make a worthwhile specialty MT.  How about one for bicycle owners??  Now THERE is a growth market!  7 billion people on this rock called "Earth", and 3 billion own/ride bicycles.  And the number is growing.

The real trick is to make that type of MT affordable for the guy in some third world country, and uses his bicycle to make a decent living

Maybe I'm right, maybe I'm wrong but the first photo, with the baskets and the conical hats look real, for the rest on them, I smell a photo shop! ...

I am one of the (apparently) 4 billion that do not own a bike, but I have never seen this OPMT before, and I think it may be the best designed one ive evver seen. I really like that it holds 4 bits. I may need to go find one...

[WoodsDuck]

I've seen Mako TI going for under $30 recently. Seems like a good deal.

It totally misses a tire lever, a function that could have been built in and that is critical for a bike tool.

I mean what is a common problem that needs fixing before you can ride on? Right, a flat tire!
Almost every other problem can be ignored until you are at home.

Personally, I don't consider a tool a "bike-tool" until it features a tire-lever. As a fact I can change tires with the LM bit-card, so that is in my eyes the better bike tool than this OPT.

I got a Topeak Mini 20 for $24 - and it does a lot more than a Mako. 7 or 8 sizes of hex, 2 torx, flat and phillips, chain breaker, tire lever, 3 or 4 different sizes/types of spoke wrenches, bottle opener.

Mako is a ripoff by comparison.

This is the first time I've heard of that Topeak tool (haven't been into cycling for a while) but it does look like a good choice. Though it's also not a OPT, so I wouldn't call it a level playing field if more than price point is considered.

Even though we are a smallish customer base, I don't understand why Leatherman doesn't have an official representative member here.

We all know the peek around the site but some responses would be great lol

They do.

Designers for all the companies crawl here incognito, and at least two members of Leatherman management (that I know of) have posted here in the past, one even openly.

They don't usually advertise their presence because they want unbiased feedback that they don't get through other channels.

Sometimes they accept it like in the case of Style CS/PS, and sometimes ignore it like in case of the Signal.

Btw, def, do you know if Klecker gets any word in the new vaeiations of the Skele or is that now LM property to do with it as they please?
