About Us

This website is designed to introduce you to the world of the Leatherman Skeletool – an extremely stripped-down type of multitool that is designed for those who need a few basic functions out of their implement, such as a pair of needlenose pliers, a knife, and a universal bit driver. The Skeletool is an example of highly generalized multitool design – it highly useful for many common tasks, but might have trouble handling some of the tasks that might come up, such as sawing or filing.

In these pages, you will find a description of several different specific kinds of Skeletools, as well as detailed descriptions of different aspects of these interesting tools. You can get a closer look at their special features and design details here – from information about the knife blades found on the models, to details of the universal bit driver, to data regarding what distinguishes the different variants and why very similar-appearing Skeletools may have considerably different prices.

We hope that you will find this information intriguing, useful, and detailed enough to allow you to form a judgment of the Skeletool’s strengths and weaknesses before you have even laid eyes or hands on an actual example of these multitools. There are many people who swear by the Skeletool in preference to any other multitool, be it Leatherman or Gerber; some use it as a backup tool; and others need a more complex, feature-rich multitool to handle their daily tasks properly.
 
This website will hopefully provide you with the clear, well-rounded view of these items which will allow you to decide if the Skeletool meets your needs. It may also clear up a few details if you are already the proud owner of a Leatherman Skeletool. Feedback of all kinds – questions, comments, suggestions – are always welcome from our readership; please feel free to send this input to us using our e-mail address.

Our information contains both manufacturer data and the actual experiences of Skeletool users, so it gives a more thorough view of the strengths and weaknesses of the models than a simple summary of their features could.
