The skeletool has its uses and limitations as well. Great for minimalist approach, good as a day hike/office tool. Not heavy duty but not heavy to carry. i always think of the signal as a skeletools big brother. just wish they would go back to the slimmer grip early models. The extra cost of the sx with carbon fiber and better 154 cm blade is also a bit of a catch. I bought my sx used on the bay for less than a new reg model, now the prices are climbing. All in all a good tool for some. Very handy for non recessed screws etc. use the bit kit and a good all around device.. I have the rescue model also and would like to see the glass breaker bit sold seperately, their interpretation of whats needed in a 154 cm serrated blade isnt the best for every day tasks, but supposedly great for rescue work. its a good solid design.
