I got my Skeletool two days ago and it's growing on me. First off I want to say that I'm a little disappointed with the pliers. They are more of a blunt nose than a needle, but not a big deal for me. The one hand opening of the blade is great of course. I have been carrying this with two other Leathermans for comparison, the Kick and the Juice S2. I have decided that the Kick doesn't quite fit into this catagory, "compact tools." You do get more out of the Juice than the Skeletool, plus the Juice is more compact, but they both compare the same in my book as far as comfort. The belt clip is a plus. The pliers are nearly identical in size. The Skeletool pliers being wider give them stronger wire cutting capability. Tools on the Skeletool are much easier and faster to access. The one and only downfall (besides my personal dislike listed above) in my opinion is that, due to the handle design, the Skeletool can only be held comfortably one way.
