Leatherman Skeletool - A Stripped Down, Lightweight Product Supplied With The Most Used Features Offered By Leatherman
I have bought a couple of multi tools over the years, but never really had a use for them. I carried one for fixing saddles and horse gear whilst on the go for a while but wasn't too pleased with them.
In the main they are a group of inadequate small tools with far too many ornaments and toys attached to be very useful for anything except the most simple of tasks.
When the higher quality tools were introduced they were big and chunky again, still with too much junk attached. For a while it seemed that the multi tool manufacturer's aimed to make the largest oversized, heaviest pocket tool on the market. It was like the cell phone race with so many trying to pack the most stuff they could into a multi tool. It seemed pretty odd for a while.
For hiking trips I always carried a little tool kit with what I figured I would use rather than a weighty tool. It weighed in at a slightly more than a pound but inevitably it would get used at least once on a longer trip. The kit usually consisted of a tiny short screwdriver, a set of pliers, some spare screws, plus some wire. I recently discovered a multi tool that does make sense to bring with me though.
Funnily enough, they have been for sale for some time but I didn't consider them. A while back, I had to install a shower head but had no tools. I ended up doing it with only a can opener and a set of scissors. I decided this would be a perfect time to start using my multi tool again. I went through the junk drawer and found it later that night, I then remembered why it ended up there initially. Because it was junk.
Bring to the fore the Skeletool by Leatherman:
At just 5 ounces it could live in my pocket unnoticed most of the time and it eliminated the need for two items from my tool kit. The brilliant point is that for the campsite where you might need to fix a gas cooker, a metal buckle on a pack, the zipper on a tent, or tighten up a broken canoe seat; the Skeletool is everything you need without any of the unnecessary tools.
To start with the pliers are usually standard for multi tools. They have incorporated wire cutters and they cut through coat hangers pretty well so will handle the brass wire I carry.
Next the blade, easy deploy with one hand using a thumb hole. The edge was so sharp it could chop the corner off a piece of paper with no problems.
The screwdriver attachment comes with two phillips and two slotted bits. The bits are Leatherman proprietary as opposed to industry standard, despite this they do lock into the unit with a spring clip. The extra one is tucked away in the handle and is a friction fit.
In summary, its well crafted and put together by my standards - I am pretty fussy with stuff like this. I purchased my Leatherman Skeletool at Leatherman Store and they also sell the Leatherman Skeletool CX.
