Our take on the Leatherman Skeletool Pliers Multi-tool

The Skeletool is Leatherman's light full-size multi-tool, built around pliers, a one-hand opening blade and a bit driver at about five ounces. It trades the crowded tool set of a Wave or Surge for the essentials, so it carries like a pocket knife and still handles wire, screws and bottles. Owners rate it highly for weight, the outside-accessible blade and the pocket clip. The trade-off is a short tool list: no scissors, no saw, no file, and the bit driver holds one bit at a time.

  • Tool setCriticisedBuyers miss scissors, a saw and a file found on larger Leatherman tools.
  • PliersMixedThey work for wire and small jobs but feel less sturdy than full-size models.

About the Leatherman Skeletool Pliers Multi-tool

The Leatherman Skeletool is a full-size multi-tool built to keep weight and bulk low. It weighs 5.0 ounces and measures 4 inches closed. It has the essential tools: pliers, wire cutters, a locking blade, a bit driver and a carabiner/bottle opener.

The blade is accessible from the outside, so it opens quickly with one hand like a pocket knife. It is a combo serrated/straight 420HC blade and it locks open. The pliers have hard and soft wire cutters and folding handles.

The universal bit driver stores its bits in the handle. A removable pocket clip lets the tool clip onto a belt, pack or vest with no sheath required.

Does the blade lock?
Yes. The combo straight and serrated 420HC blade locks open and can be opened one-handed from the outside.
Can I use standard hex bits?

The tool with its pocket clip and a bit or two in the driver, depending on the version. A sheath is not included.
