To begin with, the positives: I've owned this product for about 4 months now and really do love it (I ordered a second one the day after I thought I had lost my first). I appreciate that this Leatherman has done away with all the extraneous tools that add bulk and weight but are rarely used. I love that instead of needing a holster, I can wear it in my pocket like I would any other knife. At first I was a little leery of the driver bits being removable as I was sure they would fall out (hasn't happened once yet). Now I prefer this as it allows me a more appropriate bit for the situation. I find the blade to be impressive and the opening action fits my hand perfectly.
Now for the negatives: As good as the bits on the screwdriver are, I find the curve of the handle to make screwing anything of substance feel awkward. The pliers, while sufficient for lightweight, emergency applications, should not be expected to perform any real torquing tasks (the first time i tried this, the jaws immediately slipped off and I was left with a good blood-blister in the web of my hand).
All in all, I find it a great tool in a great package. It has the items I need most, fits them into a small form and performs passably. It fits my needs but likely isn't for everyone.
 Not bad but not the greatest they put out July 23, 2008

I put this item on backorder from another catalog because of all of the hype about it. It looked like it was going to be another great tool from leatherman. First off, the pliers pretty much suck unless you are just messing with little things at home. I can't even get it to grab a cotter key and bend it at work without the pliers giving. The second bit driver is in a bad spot, it has already fallen out and been lost in mine. Other than that it is a good knife to use around the house. Its just more of a show knife than it is for use.
 Excellent multitool July 21, 2008
I had been looking for a new Leatherman to replace my old original, which I lost recently. I never used all of the tools, and was looking for something basic but just as versatile. The Skeletool CX is perfect for my lifestyle. I especially like the large, locking blade and the comfortable handle in all configurations. The clips make it easy to carry and not lose. This is a winner!
Not Lefty friendly, but still a great tool. July 20, 2008
I just wanted to note that, because the thumb hole is hidden behind the Leatherman, the knife on this tool cannot be folded out with your left hand only.
Having said that, it is still a great tool that I would highly recommend. It has the tools you will actually use in a multi-tool, and got rid of all the ones you don't.
Lost my bits July 19, 2008
This item is so close to perfect. I use the carabeaner to attach it to my belt loop or just clip it to the band on my shorts. Very light weight. Great knife with one handed opening and closing.
FLAW!: The bits don't stay in place. I lost 3 bits in a week so I just saudered the #2 phillips in place since I use it the most. If the bit holders would have worked, this would be the perfect light weight knife/pliers/driver.
