Today's outdoor enthusiasts want to keep weight and volume to a minimum without losing quality and useful functionality. Although multi-tools have several choices, they're often heavier with a higher number of features than are used on a regular basis. Conversely, small knives are light and sleek, but render themselves useless in the event that adjustments require a tool. Enter the new, five-ounce Skeletool platform: Low weight, compact size and countless capabilities.

Whether you're enjoy hiking out in the forest, rock climbing, four-wheeling, snowboarding, fishing, or starting a Do it Yourself project at home; there are just some things you will find essential. "Everybody could agree that a quality knife, robust pliers and a brilliant screwdriver were the perfect combinsation," said Sr. Design Engineer John Nenadic. "The task meant returning back to the original concept of the PST and altering the look of compact functionality for present day users."

Skeletool's outside-accessible blade means, in a similar way to a pocket knife, it can be deployed fast with one hand. Bit driver technology means it is possible to customize the screwdriver for every task. Take either one of the bits that is supplied with the tool, and can be stored within the handle scales, or integrate the Leatherman bit kit (sold separately) and there are upwards of 42 Hex, Robertson, Pozi, Torx, Phillips and Slotted bit options. Full-size pliers with wire cutters and folding handles-as only Leatherman can engineer them-are tough, comfortable and easy-to-use.

Two variations of the tool, Leatherman Skeletool and Leatherman Skeletool CX began being distributed globally in January 2008. The Skeletool model is stainless steel with a 420HC blade and retails for £69.95. Skeletool CX is also stainless steel but benefits from DLC Tungsten coating for scratch resistance and a 154CM straight blade that is incredibly simple to sharpen. MSRP for the CX model is £89.95. Both versions are covered under the world famous Leatherman 25 year guarantee.
