In this day and age outdoor enthusiasts aim to keep weight and volume to a minimum without losing quality and useful functionality. While multi-tools have many choices, many are often heavier with extra features than are used on a day to day basis. Conversely, pocket knives are light and sleek, but render themselves useless in the event that adjustments call for a tool. Enter the all new, five-ounce Skeletool platform: Low weight, small size and endless capabilities.

Whether you're into hiking out in the woods, rock climbing, four-wheeling, snowboarding, fishing, or starting a DIY project at home; there will always be things you will find essential. "We could all agree that a superior knife, strong pliers and a brilliant screwdriver were the perfect combinsation," said Sr. Design Engineer John Nenadic. "The task meant looking back to the very first concept of the PST and amending the appearance of small functionality for present day users."

Skeletool's outside-accessible blade means, in a similar way to a pocket knife, it can be deployed without delay with one hand. Bit driver technology makes it viable to customize the screwdriver for any job. Use a single bit that is supplied with the tool, and can be stored within the handles, or integrate the Leatherman bit kit (sold separately) and there are as many as 42 Hex, Robertson, Pozi, Torx, Phillips and Slotted bit options. Full-size pliers together with wire cutters and folding handles-as only Leatherman is able to manufacture them-are robust, comfortable and easy-to-use.

Two variations of the tool, Leatherman Skeletool and Leatherman Skeletool CX began being distributed worldwide two years ago. The Skeletool model is stainless steel with a 420HC blade and retails for £69.95. Skeletool CX is also stainless steel but has a DLC Tungsten coating for scratch protection plus a 154CM straight blade that is very simple to sharpen. MSRP for the CX model is £89.95. Both versions are covered under the world famous Leatherman 25 year warranty.
