  • Our take on the Leatherman Skeletool CX Multi-Tool

    The Skeletool CX is Leatherman's lightest full-size multi-tool, built around pliers, a bit driver and a 154CM straight-edge blade. The blade steel is the main upgrade over the standard Skeletool, which uses 420HC: 154CM holds an edge longer and resists wear better. At about 5 ounces with outside-accessible tools and a pocket clip, it carries like a folding knife and suits people who want a few strong tools rather than a full toolbox. Reviewers like the weight and one-handed blade; the common complaints are the limited tool count and the short bit driver.

    Pros
    • Very light for a full-size Leatherman
    • 154CM blade holds an edge better than the standard model's 420HC
    • Blade and bit driver open one-handed without unfolding the tool
    • Locking blade with thumb hole
    • Pocket clip and carabiner-style clip built in
    • Pliers and wire cutters handle light repair work
    Cons
    • Only 7 functions, far fewer than a Wave or Charge
    • Bit driver is short and takes standard flat bits, not full-size screwdriver bits
    • No scissors, saw or file
    • Pliers are small for heavy gripping
    • Premium blade steel pushes it above the base Skeletool in value terms

    What reviewers say

    Owners rate the Skeletool CX highly as a light everyday carry tool, praising the blade steel, weight and one-handed use. Criticism centers on the small tool set and the short bit driver rather than on build quality.

    What people mention
    • WeightPraisedOwners say it disappears in a pocket and is easy to carry all day.
    • Blade steelPraisedThe 154CM blade is seen as a real step up from the base model's steel for edge retention.
    • Tool countCriticisedReviewers note it lacks scissors, a saw and a file that bigger Leathermans include.
    • Bit driverMixedUseful for common screws, but the short driver limits reach and torque.
    • One-handed usePraisedThe thumb hole and outside-accessible tools let users open the blade and driver without unfolding the pliers.
    • PliersMixedFine for light gripping and wire, but small for heavy work.

    Questions and answers

    Is the Skeletool CX worth it over the standard Skeletool?
    If you use the blade often, yes. The CX swaps 420HC for 154CM steel, which holds an edge longer, and adds a carabiner clip. Otherwise the tools are the same.
    How does it compare with a Leatherman Wave?
    The Skeletool CX is much lighter and carries like a knife, but the Wave has far more tools, including scissors, a saw and a file, plus longer drivers. Choose the Skeletool for carry weight, the Wave for capability.
    What bits does the bit driver take?
    It takes standard 1/4-inch hex bits and ships with a double-ended bit. The driver is short, so deep recessed screws can be awkward.
    Does the blade lock?
    Yes. The straight-edge 154CM blade locks open and releases with a liner-style lock.
    What is in the box?
    The tool itself with a pocket clip and a double-ended bit. It does not include a sheath or a full bit kit.
    Is it legal to carry in places with knife laws?
    The blade locks and opens one-handed, which some jurisdictions restrict. Check your local rules before carrying it.
    Where is the Leatherman Skeletool CX Multi-Tool cheapest?
    At Amazon, for $79.95, 20% under what the other stores charge, as of our latest check.
    Where can I buy the Leatherman Skeletool CX Multi-Tool?
    14 stores we checked sell it, including Public Lands, Lowe's, Scheels, Leatherman, The Mountain Air.
