A year ago(ish) I bought a Leatherman Skeletool CX to be my new EDC knife. I've now gone back to my previous EDC knife - a Swiss Navy Knife.
I've reviewed the Leatherman Skeletool CX, and explained why I'm not carrying it anymore over on our website.
My Swiss Navy knife showing off its small flat-blade screwdriver and tin opener, large flat-blade screwdriver with bottle opener and wire stripper, marlin spike with shackle spanner, and the Philips screwdriver. There is also the terrible blade, which locks open. Not shown - the awl, tweezers or toothpick.
The Skeletool CX boasts a very nice blade, pliers and wire cutters, a bottle opener and a couple of screwdriver bits (we'll not mention the pocket clip I found to be totally ineffective).

Arrived from Amazon UK a couple of weeks early via Chullora Syd. 29th Jan 2025. My second and last from LEATHERMAN.
I paid $161.58 on Amazon, came from the UK..
See www.amazon.com.au/dp/B007ERHM5S?ref=ppx_pop_dt_b_product_...
It took the tough screwdriver on my #SAKedc #3627 to open the 17 tools.
But it takes more than a moment and possibly broken fingernails to get a blade out.
Very STIFF to open and close I submitted a report to Amazon, but the return date passed on 3rd March!
Go to any #SAKedc for an easy to open sharp blade...
No scissors, tweezers, or toothpick, but a nice metal saw and file... and serrated saw which worked well on packaging and bubble wrap, but no wood saw....
See on Amazon.. amzn.asia/d/cxu1Onq
They could be the best pliers I have. The whole set of a dozen tools will last me for the next 25 years.
See the Wikipedia reference.. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leatherman
It weighs 189gm and 218gm in the supplied pouch.

Serrated blades on Leatherman tools are designed for specific cutting tasks where a straight blade might struggle. Here's a breakdown of their uses:
Cutting through tough, fibrous materials: Serrations excel at slicing through materials like rope, webbing, fabric, and even some plastics. The teeth help grip and tear through these materials more effectively than a straight blade.
Sawing motion: The serrated edge provides a sawing action, making it useful for cutting through thicker or denser materials that might require more force with a straight blade.
Emergency situations: In situations where you need to quickly cut through something like a seatbelt or clothing, a serrated blade can be a lifesaver.
Here are some common uses for a serrated blade on a Leatherman:
Cutting rope: Whether it's for securing gear, rigging, or even in emergency situations, a serrated blade can quickly cut through various types of rope.

rebar
Copilot said
Rebar is a crucial material used in construction to reinforce concrete structures. It's made of steel and provides additional strength and stability to buildings, bridges, and other infrastructure. The ribbed texture helps it bond tightly with concrete, preventing cracking and improving durability.
Are you looking for specific information on rebar, such as its types, applications, or installation techniques?

How does the Leatherman Wave Plus compare to the Rebar?
How does the Leatherman Wave Plus compare to the Rebar? new chat....
The Leatherman Wave Plus and Leatherman Rebar are both excellent multi-tools, but they cater to different needs and preferences. Here’s how they compare:
Key Differences
Tool Accessibility: The Wave Plus allows one-handed access to several tools, including the knives, while the Rebar requires you to open the handles to access any tool.
Number of Tools: The Wave Plus has 18 tools, while the Rebar has 17. The Wave Plus includes spring-action scissors, which the Rebar lacks.
Weight & Size: The Wave Plus is heavier (8.5 oz) than the Rebar (6.7 oz), making the Rebar a more compact option.
Replaceable Wire Cutters: Both models feature replaceable wire cutters, but the Rebar’s pliers are optimized for strength.
Price: The Wave Plus is more expensive than the Rebar due to its premium features and outside-accessible tools.
Which One Should You Choose?
If you want quick access to tools and premium features, go for the Wave Plus.
If you prefer a rugged, classic design with strong pliers, the Rebar is a solid choice.
Would you like a recommendation based on your specific needs? 😃
How does the Rebar compare to other Leatherman models?
The Leatherman Rebar is a compact, full-size multi-tool designed for durability and practicality. Compared to other Leatherman models, here’s how it stacks up:
Size & Weight: The Rebar is lighter (6.7 oz) than heavy-duty models like the Surge (12.5 oz) but heavier than minimalist options like the Skeletool (5 oz).
Tool Count: It features 17 tools, including replaceable wire cutters, which is fewer than the Surge (21 tools) but more than the Skeletool (7 tools).
Design: The Rebar follows the classic boxy shape of Tim Leatherman’s original Pocket Survival Tool (PST), making it rugged and reliable.
Functionality: Unlike the Wave, which allows one-handed tool access, the Rebar requires manual unfolding
And you have to open the pliers to get a blade out! ed me..
Yep, that's one of the quirks of the Leatherman Rebar! Unlike models like the Wave, Surge or Charge, where you can access the blades externally, the Rebar requires you to open the handles to get to the knives and other tools. It sticks to that classic multi-tool design—rugged, reliable, and built for heavy-duty work.
Like the Bond, $126.00..you must open it to get a blade..

It may not be the fastest for blade deployment, but it makes up for it with all-locking tools and replaceable wire cutters. Are you thinking about getting one, or do you already have it in your collection? I have one, thanks!

In all my 2-3 million miles or kilometres of #FlickrSpelio #bushwalking, #SUSScaving, #WASGcaving, #RMLAIDForest life or #GSWANullarbor work, travel #roundAUstraliawithSpelio or in the UK or Europe in #Helga2004, where I bought a #SAKTinker in Switzerland or in #mtus, where I bought the #juiceS2, I never needed a #SAKedc or #Leatherman as I always had a couple of fully equipped toolboxes of #remotegearlist and a trusty #sheathknife.

My beloved Leatherman that can't travel with me, since I always take luggage carry-on. Handy little bugger though.
Hammer, although, not sure how comfortable I feel using it as a hammer. Certainly is sturdy enough to do so though.
