Hi,

My red Skeletool from REI arrived today.  The red powder coating looks very nice.  As to durabilty, I'll look forward to what others report as mine will be a collection queen.  Please share your experiences.

By the way, the Leatherman SKU # for this tool is 950816

Best - Joe

Lucky you.

Do you have to be a member to buy from them? It tells me I have to make an account with them...just to buy one red Skeletool? Seems like a lot of work. I may have to call them to see if they are willing to ship me one without having to make so much paperwork.

Now THAT is incredible!  I really like the red and imagine it would hold up as well as anything else.  If you plan to pocket carry it, expect scuffing of the finish, eh?   I actually wish they offered a variety of colors like the Juice line  :drool:

If the blade lock is painted I bet that will be the first place the paint comes off. ON LM's BO MT's the lock's ramp gets shiny fairly quickly. :think: :think:

Nice shot Bob  8) :cheers: :cheers:
Be interested to see how the wear progresses  :think: :think:.

What are your thoughts so far Bob on the quality of the painted finish? Better than Gerber's painted MT's I hope  :think: :D

I noticed that with my Skeletool CX, and my BO Surge.  No big deal there ;)

Bet it will be a different color. Might even be a Mother of Pearl color.

If I was to guess a Black & Gold color for the standard Leatherman theme.  :D
Could even be a limited edition run, Team Leatherman!

I just got my red Skeletool monday.  I've been EDCing it the last couple of days.  So far, only 2 tiny nicks.

FYI:  I've kept it on my right front pocket which also carry Whitmans sampler tin(carries money/change), and an LM Style CS.  Plus the Red Skeletool is fully in the pocket(Not being carried by clip/carabiner).  So it would be banged around a bit!

Except forthose 2 nicks, it holding up pretty good,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,SO FAR!! :tu:
