Leatherman Skeletool CX Multitool

Three main uses (knife, pliers and screwdriver), easily accessible, knife sharp, very sturdy. Accompanying directions misleading (generic for all models)

Quality as always with leatherman and it's really nice to clip on to your waist or pack. Kinda lacking in tools but it's really small and compact.

I have been using my Skeletool CX for over 11 years now and it has rarely left my side. For most of my needs, the pliers, screw driver and stainless knife suffice. I live in a humid area, so the stainless blade was a basic requirement for me. I switch to the Wave (Signal before it) for outdoors, but for urban EDC, I can't think of a more straightforward recommendation.

Great multitool, light weight and well made for all my outdoor activities

The essential setup is great. The knife, pliers, and bit driver were the functions I needed. But the paint job on the steel is already scraping off along the edges after just two days of light use.
