Love my CX. It's always on me 😎✌️
BRING BACK THE SQUIRT PS4!!!!!!
So many people said why thats not a good idea for them its amazing people like you still talk about that
I have one in my pocket every day. Such a great tool. I wish they would make a PS4+ model that is exactly the same tool but slightly larger.
@@dougr.6734hard to sell it with a 25 year warranty when people abuse it
Video idea: interview Leatherman employees and what tool they carry everyday!!
Not a bad idea!
seconded!
Had a standard Skeletool which was confiscated when I forgot to take it out of my carry on bag. Told the security guard to keep it rather than throwing it away wastefully.
Came home, bought an OG Skeletool CX with the carbon fibre insert, gave it to my friend as a little gift. He lost his at the airport, confiscated as well.
Then I bought another CX last year and am sad it no longer has the CF insert but it's as good a tool as ever.
The Squirt was the best thing they ever did. I don’t understand why they discontinued it.
Your designs are beautiful! Glad you're on the Leatherman team. 👍🍺
I’m so glad you finally explained this!
Bring back the keychain lineup other than Micra
I love my CX skeletool, it has always been in my pocket for five years 😁 and I'm waiting for the version with a CPM magnacut steel blade 😉
I have the original skeletool when it first came out. Brought it with me all over the world. Still using it everyday. Think I’m gonna get the KB small version. Thank you for making the Skeletool.
The CX is a great alternative to a simple folding knife. 154CM in a multi tool simply rocks. I love the size and steel choice of the blade relative to the size of the tool. I also see it as a knife with the extras instead of a "traditional" multi tool (pliers with the extras). While the carabiner has been controversial to some, to me it opens up a whole new world of carry options (it can be clipped to a belt loop, a backpack, a lanyard, a keychain and more) in addition to being an effective and easy-to-access bottle opener because the whole tool is used as a lever.
I've been carrying my Cx since 2016 almost everyday. Got one for me and one for my sister and she uses hers regularly too. One of the best multitools around.
I love the super small KB knives. I even take off the clip on the back to make it smaller! Have not found anything better for EDC.
Just getting ready to place an order. Thank you for sharing 🇨🇦
Love the Skeletool. Has the basics and extremely light. I got the illness and ended up with a stack of multi tools but the Skeletool is my favoured carry at work 👍
The CX is one of my go to EDC knives. The ergonomics are really impressive for what it is and while it only has a frw tools the bulk of them are impressive.
Have my skeletool for over 10 years now, its a cracking piece of kit
I've had a Leatherman on my side since I was about 17.
When the skeletool came out I bought a CX. It's the best thing I've ever owned!
I've gone through 5 because I keep losing them (usually when I'm drunk) but I have to keep replacing it because I can't live without it! The blade on the CX is the bomb! I sharpen it with ease and its like a razor!
I have every color of the lineup including matching knives, i might be one of your best customers it's a sickness, got my ARC about 2 months ago, I keep a surge in the EDC bags of car and the JEEP
I have the old one from the Marlboro promotion still love it!
Very well made video, thank you!
Our pleasure!
Ive had the same two since they first came out. I kind of want a colour now. the redRX one would be very handy at work.
Skeletool topo never leaves my pockets, literally 24/7. I must have a combo edge as I use it 7-20 times a day easy... I gotta have a black out version because if my black dress pants at work. Squirt PS4 is on my keychains for truck a d Harley both...and wave with bit kit is stored in both the Harley and the truck.
The Skeletool kicked out more than a decade of Spyderco and Benchmade blades... I have given a few Leathermans as gifts...all are appreciated, but the only one I know gets carried by the person I gave it to is the Skeletool. I actually have backups for myself, lol.
Solid set of multi-tools!
Please release another keychain multitool like the squirt!
Use tan and black color scheme from the standard model on the CX model. 154CM is a great steel choice but the tan and black model is such a good looking color combo.
Are the knife blades cf the Skeletool and Skeletool knife interchangeable?
One of the few tools that does exactly what it says on the tin. The one thing I will critique is the bit holder. That thing sucks. Every skeletool I have had the bits haven’t stayed in for more than a month. Loose them during carry every time.
Please please please work out a way to add scissors to the skeletool and it would be perfect
My favorite for edc is the Style PS.
I have a wave and bought a skeletool knife for my wife. The skeletool blade is rusted after a month and very light use. New spots appearing every week
J'ai un Style CS depuis plusieurs années. C'est un petit outil vraiment très bien.
You planning on producing a left hand opening blade?
Cool! 154CM is a good choice. Have you seen the 2. market hammers for the Skeletool? I would get one of those - Leatherman should make their own.
We'll share this feedback with our product development team!
@@LeathermanToolGroup me and I bet lots of other people would jump at the chance to add a hammer to their Skeletool!
Any chance of bringing back the Style PS or the Juice S2?
Can y’all please update the steel on the Leatherman Free K4/K2? Also a change to the pocket clip so there isn’t a hotspot in the hand?
why is this guy rizzing me up so hard
All it’s missing is a saw… please make version with a saw blade and it’ll be the perfect camping light weight multitool.
Nice video. It would be great if you included the metric equivalents when you give dimensions in the video. This would make it more appealing to an international audience.
We'll keep this in mind for future videos!
You're missing out on the European market by not making non-locking versions of your products.
I’ve still got the Wave that I’ve had for over 20 years. The changing face of European legislation (and those London feral kids) have meant that it’s an home device. Although it does go on holidays and sit in the hold luggage packed inside a shoe for any holiday usage (usually nasal hair with the built in scissors - don’t laugh 🤦♂️🤦♂️).
I still think the locking blade is a positive as how I’ve not lost my fingers as a kid with non locking blade penknives is a mystery. The locking blade just allows more leverage and is very useful.
But hey, these are built in the USA and I’ll gloss over their gun legislation…
An amusing story to finish with: many years ago here in UK my father was a stalwart member of a gun club (before legislation ruined that sport), target pistol shooting and the like. One of his fellow senior shooters turned up one day with a replica Colt Buntline Special (the 6” barrel job beloved of old Westerns). Dad asked Dudley, “what do you want an old style gun like that for?” Dudley answered, “to bang the nails in on the wanted posters……”
We created the Bond multi-tool which features a non-locking knife blade.
Not all Europeans gone crazy, there still left some sane countries
Nice
Love my comparable Style PS, but the scissor spring breaks constantly. All 4 times it broke while in the closed position (not in use). I have spent more on shipping for warranty repair than I paid for the tool originally. Can you please do something about the heat treatment on your scissor springs! I love the tool and it rides on my belt loop daily, but I will have to find an alternative brand if you can’t/won’t look into and address this issue. Sharing my experiences with everyone who is considering and posts about the Leatherman brand.
Make the skeletool about 20% bigger. I just need your normal sized pliers.
PLEASE make a few iteration of the Skeletool that provides alternate options for the Knife.
Many people carry a dedicated knife, but would like a light multi-tool that gives other options.
Scissors, Diamond File and Wood Saw in place of the Scissors.
AND perhaps another tool option that will pass TSA rules.
In the past we've made TSA "compliant" multi-tools but even those got confiscated. Ultimately it's up to the discretion of the individual TSA officer 😕
@@LeathermanToolGroup That's fine--the primary goal isn't for TSA purposes, but to have the alternate main tool.
It seems you can have a pretty direct option for that knife slot.
Please consider.
I just removed the blade from mine, the blade material isn't very good for a knife.
@@LeathermanToolGroupI'd also love to see a blade alternative for the skeletool. I've carried one as my EDC since 2010. But have given up on trying to keep the blade sharp. So now I carry a folding utility knife. Which largely makes the skeletools blade just wasted space.
Love my Skeletool CX, but it would be great if you got rid of the holes on the blade... it's incredibly annoying to clean them when slicing food!
BRING BACK THE JUICE!!!!
BRING BACK THE STYLE CS/PS
Please bring back the squirt and the style ps!!!
please release a version where the pliers have been removed to be replaced with a set of shears
Really think all the blades on these need to be sheep’s foot. I chipped the tip off my CX during light use because the tip is too unsupported.
If you're having an issue with your knife blade then you can send it in and we'll fix it for you under our 25-year warranty.

here’s a challenge:
a TSA safe multitool, that TSA agents won’t steal.
What does the CX stand for? I thought it stood for carbon fiber, But none of the CX models shown had carbon fiber.
Remove the carabiner clip part at the end of the frame and put magnacut blade on it and it would be perfect EDC size. That’s the most hated thing that giant clip on the end makes it really too large in pocket and annoying. Also make it less sticky opening pliers or “free” opening style.
Traigan de vuelta la Squirt PS4 con sistema de tijeras mejorado
SKELETOOL!
Face in the dirt!
SKELETOOL!
Who laughing now
SKELETOOL!
I’m crossed eyed with rage/
all your words you best save/
Skeletool in your FACE
SKELETOOL!
-song by Cranial Ass
Take a little off the back of the blades to they stop friggin pinching me when I stupidly grip the pliers from the wrong side.
*But california won't allow a knife over 1/2" or any glass breakers!*
Bring back the Style or maybe make a plane safe skeletool!
Can we get a wave with a better blade steel? The arc doesn't do it for me. The charge is too fat. The wave is multitool perfection bar the blade steel. Also give us the serrated blade from the charge
I have carried my Skeletool to work for 12 years......and then last year they banned blades over 2.5 inches :( feels wrong to carry anything else!
If this skeletool have scissors, it's will be perfect..
👍👍👍👍👍
A mi se me ha roto y apenas la he usado se partió el alicate simplemente sacando un clavo
I may be wrong, but the last time I checked, the Skeletool doesn't have an integrated crowbar.
@@globetrotter7778 It doesn't have a lever, it was with the alixate and the pliers broke. no the skeleton does not have a lever.
@@Gus0046 Pliers are not primarily meant to be used to remove nails.
@@globetrotter7778 Pliers are intended for countless things and one of them, of course, is for removing a nail because it is a universal grip tool, it is not intended for one specific thing, it is intended for many things. There are more specialized tools in particular but the pliers are there to help you remove a nail because it is a gripping tool and can remove a nail perfectly if you have space to grab it. You cannot remove a headless nail with a fingernail, it is better to use pliers or pliers.
Bring back damascus blade and stock up on some ratchet drivers please.
That video from 2010 look so cool. I dont understand how sich a great company became so lame lol very sad.
they look good, but there not very strong broke mine after a few months
uncanny valley
My bit falls out all the time :(
Send in your multi-tool and we'll fix it for you under our 25-year warranty.

Sent it in and it was delivered to Portland on 5/20. Thanks again!@@LeathermanToolGroup
I sent it in and it was delivered to Portland on 5/20/24. Thank you again!@@LeathermanToolGroup
Too small and bulky compared to a regular knife.
I didn't hear you explain why you guys kept this crap and discontinued the squirt PS4.
The best Leatherman is VictorInox Handyman or any other, like Huntsman.
All that effort and still completely useless, if you are lefthanded.
Comments: My left index finger might unlock the blade if i squeeze hard enough.
Actually, I am left handed and found that after loosening the blade just a fraction, I can flick the blade open with my birdie finger left handed!! Just be careful closing one handed as a lefty :)
Skeletool has been my EDC of choice for over a decade. In a perfect world there'd be a left handed version.
But I can't say I've ever really had any issues opening or closing the blade left handed.
Poorly made budget tool. 420HC steel in the PNW?! It rusts right out of the package! And don’t even get me started on the cerakote. If it’s not sub contracted from Mexico it’s not good. All their in house cerakote work is TRASH
Pliers are worthless, bit driver is weak and doesn't ratchet, knife blade is goofy to hold but is the most useful tool on the multitool, rescue blade is a pill to sharpen, never needed a glass breaker, couldn't care less about the color, bottle have twist off caps, these things are an overpriced paperweights.
"The best tool for the job is a multitool!" - Nobody
Stick to it Leatherman, especially since the Swiss Army Knife is now loosing its knife component…neutered 🤦🏻♂
Victorinox will be creating more knifeless options in their Swiss Army Knife lineup. They will still have their models with knives.
I hadn't heard Victorinox wasn't making knives anymore.
@@sadisticD Wow this is chinese whispers in action. Victorinox have always had a few bladeless options among their hundreds of bladed models. They're just making a new one while they continue making their hundreds of normal bladed models.
@@dustycups Sounds like a possibility that it's some weird rumor mill overreaction craziness. I'd heard they were going to be releasing some blade less options which makes sense but I hadn't heard they were ditching blades all together or even making less bladed options which is how this original comment reads.
@@sadisticDYeah I believe they released a press statement about making a new bladeless model, likely to drum up some interest and business in Asian and European markets. They’ve always had a few bladeless models just like Leatherman has.
The story seems to be embellished into “Victorinox isn’t making blade models anymore”, and repeated breathlessly by certain types.
Can you bring back the "White" Skeletool?
+ Crunch, Squirt, Juice.
This is just a nice toy and nothing more, just a thing to twirl it in hands.
