Had my Skeletool for about a week now. Love it so far.

Yesterday I used my Skeletool for:

Cutting and stripping wires, and tightening/adjusting screws for a picosecond laser I am assembling at work

Opening a few boxes

Cut up an apple at lunchtime.

Installing a handtowel hanger in the bathroom at home.


Nice!
 
Yep, they are that good!

(I fixed a large picture frame, opened a siezed bottle of superglue and fed the cat with mine last night)
 
Yesterday:

Opened a shipping box containing a new straight razor:thumbup:

Opened a Sam Adams Heffeweizen at dinner time...
 
I used mine at work to replace some broken fans in some computer equipment, tried out my new extra fine diamond hone with it, tightened the bolts on my skateboard and opened a beer :D
 
Yesterday - opened a clampack, pulled paper jam from a printer, cut up an apple.
 
Today- Opened a few boxes, gained access to battery compartments on my kids toys, used pliers to fish out toy letters that one of my kids stuffed inside of a bottle, helped fix master cylinder on my Harley, opened a bottle of bubbles, and tonight it will probably help me open a well deserved beer. Yeah, I use mine quite a bit.
 
This weekend I used it to help me fix a kitchen drawer that was falling apart. I pulled out some staples with the plier end and attached L braces with the screwdriver bit.
 
Perhaps the most important task to date:

Just used my Skeletool to open up the shipping box for my new Kershaw Nakamura!:thumbup:

:D
 
Had a load of packages at work the other day. The Skeletool blade made short work of opening them. Remembered to sharpen the blade today. A quick session on the sharpmaker and it is good to go.
 
Can anyone tell me - with regard to the blade on the skeletool and how it clips back into its side of the handle.

There is a small pin sized raised piece of metal, which 'clicks' into a small indent on the blade, I have opened the blade on mine maybe 4 times, with the paint already being removed...fair enough, but is it likely to wear the entire small raised section away, and render the blade unable to 'click into' the handle?
 
I doubt it would wear the section away completely, but you never know. If it does happen, Leatherman should replace the tool or fix it.

BTW, I used the pliers on my Skeletool today to open a particularly stubborn milk carton. Great tool.
 
I used the blade to cut some packing so I could seal up the envelope I used to send it back to LM. One of the plier jaws snapped off when I was bending some heavy guage wire.

I'll no longer trust it for more than popping bottle caps and light urban carry/duty.
 
Wow, that sucks hatchet! Send it back, they'll send you another and their turnaround is pretty quick since they just swap them out with already reapired ones. I had one that the bit holder kept breaking so I traded it of and bought a CX.
 
I used mine today to pick up a hot piece of steel after I cut it on the cut-off wheel at work. Also to pull a dowel out of a slip fit hole on a fixture.

I also used it yesterday to pull a large steel sliver out from under my coworkers nail. The pliers are so precision at the tip it worked flawlessly. I had to convince him to trust me. He did, and it worked awesome. I did the 1,2,3 pull. Of coarse I pulled on 2! :D
 
Today, I cleaned the surface rust off from the plier jaws, I had my SOG for 2 years and kept it in the LEATHER sheath the whole time, and only had surface rust after I got it wet, and this CX has been babied like nothing else, and rusts???

I think i'm switching to Victorinox.
 
LM made it right. Sent me a repaired Skeletool in just over a week. Pops the tops off a Sam Adams real nice!
