yer barn door is open. Good video, looking at a skeletool for an edc, never had a multitool in my edc before. Good to know it's good after many years.

[@szulas4342]

I just love this tool, everyday in my pocket

[@BirdShotIV]

No surprise you got 1000, good content! Keep after it!

[@CedricAda]

Thanks guys!

[@ViceCommando]

Congratulations for the 1000 subs! My friend have problems with his CX, but I really like this tool.

[@ericholladay5280]

Congrats on ten hundred subs.

Thanks for a great video, and congrats on your subscribers! ATB my friend.

[@CedricAda]

Thanks for your countinued views Dee!

The Wave, Surge and Skeletool are the GOAT multitools. The Skeletool is amazing. I'v carried one for 9 years. Their updated model is even better.

[@whiterangerrr]

Loving this old review on a Leatherman I'm interested and then Bam! Lionsteel SR1/2 in red for comparison, One of my favorite knives in my rotation.

[@j.m.youngquist419]

Thanks for the review, I really like my Skelatool also

[@HUZ9k3s5w]

Nice review. I like the CX, light and simple, but I keep falling back to Wave, which I prefer for most of my EDC use. Just the right mix of tools/blades for my use.

[@faethe000]

They should come out with a Skeletool 2 that has the Surge's scissors opposite the blade. There's room and it would make this tool a real contender to replace swiss army knives.

[@devatwell334]

Nobody will ever replace swiss army knives....

[@jameshinrichsen9238]

Great video! I might pick one up!

[@soundknight]

It's a beautiful knife in hand. I had a look, it's made of quite descent steel for a multi tool. I just couldn't gel with it because it felt aggressive in hand, I enjoy a more 'designer' or 'plush' experience like Wood SAK.

[@AkihaMotors]

4:44 Your..... Ummm window is open....

[@PoetbyDay]

some guys like the breeze my son

[@skyeako8703]

Good review.

[@jasonrolling9338]

I have the CX too and i carry the bits for my Hinderer MX18. My 2 edc's for outside of work. Surge for work

[@demo2952]

I got my father in law a surge. I think i went overboard 😂

[@benjaminlisitsin2764]

Let’s bring outa full size leatherman... SURGE

[@bassraptor4085]

The letherman signal was in the series the 100 XD

[@Tuffer12]

lol 1000 subs…. This guy will never amount to anything;)

[@jesseallen4184]

Great video. I’m in Australia too and the price has definitely gone up again. Online they are around $175-$200. I’ve been considering buying one of regular models with the bit kit to keep in my edc bag.

[@demo2952]

Im in the USA I’ll sell you mine for $100. I just ordered it online but I’d be willing to send it down under and help an ally out 👍

[@jesseallen4184]

@@demo2952 thank you for the offer, much appreciated. But I’ve since purchased one locally since my original comment.

[@demo2952]

Jesse Allen good deal! 👍

[@weasel1weasel1]

7:13 No it's engauges at the back of the handle, linerlock hits the other side

[@zacharychambliss6346]

Could you review the havalon evolve

[@gort3969]

According to leatherman website the cx and the regular stainless skeletol weigh the same which makes no nense because the cx appears to have a carbon handle

[@brettclark8020]

Appears is the key word. It's just a carbon fiber piece over steel.

[@bulkhungry]

That's nota knife ... (Draws Espada xl ) now THAT'S a knife ! 🤠

[@michadziubinski6182]

Where I can find that torx to skeletool? :) This is one from bit set from LM?

[@CedricAda]

yeah, just in one of those long skinny bit kits

[@michadziubinski6182]

From LM? I see it on store but torx numbers are: 10/15 20/25 27/30 :(

[@JustCallMeHonda]

Love the review but it was like 5.2 oz not 6.8. Just FYI!

[@ParkerBinion]

Wow - it weighs 5 oz now. They shaved 1.8 ounces off.

[@niknice5982]

The only thing I miss is a small saw

[@magnusberger6762]

You can buy a t-shank saw and modify it to fit the bit driver. For example the saw and file kit for the Surge. Not a 100% fit after the mods, but it works!

[@cwsmith17]

I wake up and the Skeletool CX gets clipped on

[@k9teamzagrebskolazapse149]

It has 145grams put it on waight.

[@williamhollar7844]

It weighs 5oz not 6.8

[@kipperwhite2976]

Awesome on My WisH list sadly Poorer than Joe Dirt twice over due 2 Wife's illnesses but live long nuff will git one !! ;)

[@kipperwhite2976]

still using my GI issue PST 4 over 30 yrs now beat up but works still

[@bassraptor4085]

How do you get past red locktite

[@CedricAda]

Blast it with a hairdryer

[@bassraptor4085]

What if it's on the pivot

[@JustIn-op6oy]

@@bassraptor4085 you might need to use a heat gun and some leverage. Depending on what you're trying to break loose it might be best to put it in a padded vice. Don't use a torch/flame.

[@bassraptor4085]

@@JustIn-op6oy that's was 5 years ago but thanks haha

[@huongnguyen-hv5fe]

The liner lock has worn out significantly. If you look at 3:17, you'll see the contact point of this liner lock has moved all the way to the side. I always wonder why Leatherman doesn't apply a lock back for such a top-of-the-line tool.

[@BrentonCarr]

huong nguyen the liner lock goes all the way over against the stop when it is new. it's a feature not a bug.

[@insanogeddon]

Deluxe Tinker SAK is lighter, more tools and 1/2 the price - I must be missing something .. probs "trend" lol Carabiner comes in handy for plier opening fishing but for all round use prefer a full flat ground tapering blade with better fit n finish, more tools, easy cleaning and pocketability.

[@tylerljungberg4607]

What you’re forgetting is that the leatherman offers pliers that actually work...

[@Cenicebri0]

@@tylerljungberg4607 and much better blade steel with the CX version

[@horse5407]

Pliers man. Pliers

[@valor1630]

bruh ur zipper isn’t cx

[@Billhumphreys3370]

When you demonstrate the features, please, please hold the thing STILL! You shake it, you flip it, you wave it around, you spin it, you jerk it to and fro, from side to side, while you are discussing it. Keep it still!
