Why it's buy-it-for-life
A redditor expressed strong, first-hand appreciation for the knife as part of their everyday carry.
What owners say
Commenters describe the Skeletool as carrying exactly the tools needed for everyday carry — screwdrivers, a glass breaker, pliers, a knife, and a bottle opener — without the bulk of a full-size multitool. Its skeletonized handle and curved plier grip are called out as noticeably lighter and more comfortable to hold than larger multitools.

Learherman Skeletool. All the tools you need. Nothing that takes up space that just sits there unused. Compact enough for EDC.
Leatherman Skeletool. Three screwdrivers, a glass breaker, pliers, a sharp knife, and a bottle opener... Substantially lighter than the bigger tools as well.
I really love the Leatherman Skeletool KBx.
