Which is better for a first apartment?

The WORKPRO set. It gives you a hammer, tape measure, pliers, wrench and a cordless screwdriver for $46.99, which covers hanging shelves and assembling furniture. The Skeletool CX cannot hammer or measure.

The Skeletool CX. Its 154CM blade and stainless frame are built for years of daily carry, and Leatherman backs it with a 25-year warranty. The WORKPRO tools are household grade with no stated warranty.

Is the Skeletool CX worth the extra $33?

Yes if you will carry it daily and value the blade and warranty. No if the tool stays in a drawer, where the WORKPRO set does more jobs for less.

Can the Skeletool CX replace a full tool kit?

No. It has 7 functions and no hammer, tape measure or power driver. It is a carry tool for quick fixes, not a home toolkit.

Which is better for electrical work?

Neither is an electrician's tool. The WORKPRO pliers and precision drivers suit basic household wiring tasks, but the Skeletool CX wire cutters are small and neither set is rated for live circuits.

Which is easier to carry?

The Skeletool CX. At 141.75 g and 4 inches closed it clips to a pocket. The WORKPRO set weighs 2.9 lb in a 13-inch steel box.
