I repair hot tubs and am constantly in need of pliers and a blade, nothing else. Mostly everything else requires a strap wrench or a drill. The skeletool is perfect for the minimalist who doesn’t want to carry bulk. Lots of mods too! I’ve added a hammer mod and a scalpel holder, the scalpel (no 60) really works through flex hose pretty well. Eliminates the need of sharpening blades and TSA friendly as the blades are disposable.

That’s awesome, I’m going to have to look into the hammer mod. Thanks for checking it out!! 👊🏼

I love the skeletool! It has so many unique pros, for example.. It has an on-body bottle opener that you don’t have to awkwardly fold out, you have way easier access to your screwdriver arm that you don’t have to go through three steps to get to or have to break your fingernails to fold out and you can carry an extra bit on board the tool. It also just feels way more ergonomic than other multi tools when using the blade, so much so that it just feels like a normal sized pocket knife.

Awesome! Agreed, I really like how simple but also well thought out the design of it is. Also appreciate how minimal it is, it has most of the most commonly used tools without all the extras. Appreciate you watching!! 👊🏼⚔️

i've had my skeletool for over 10 years and that bit has literally never fallen out or been in danger of falling out so don't worry about it honestly the only thing i've ever missed on it is scissors. The carabiner/bottle opener is amazing. no fiddling when you need to open a bottle, just grab, open, put it back. everything else i've tried is a hassle and a half. I've actually had my wave+ on me and i've gone and gotten my skeletool more than once when I needed a bottle opener.

Yeah, definitely not a concern anymore with several more months of carrying it under my belt (literally haha). And exactly, if they could incorporate scissors without hurting the form factor it would be perfect. Thanks for watching and commenting!! 👊🏼

i have that same skeletool model. it’s one of my faves

After years of carrying a Spirit and then flirting with the Wave and P4 and even the Arc, I’ve come around to a new philosophy. The skeletool is perfect for my back pocket, but limited so i carry a custom Vic with a scissor and file layer. This gives me all the tools i need without much weight or bulk in a single place. 7.2 oz total between them but it’s broken up in 2 tools/ 2 pockets so i barely feel either. This has lots of advantages to me with a bonus of tweezers and pen. The skeletool was stupidly tight and gritty out of the box but with cleaning and lube and adjusting the pivots and working it while watching TV, it snaps smoothly like a Vic now. Wish i hadn’t overlooked it for a decade

Sounds like the ideal setup, the Skeletool would’ve been perfect if they had added scissors but like you I’ll pair them with a Victorinox when I want scissors. Not sure why I waited so long either but I felt the same way. Appreciate you checking out the video and taking the time to comment! 👊🏼⚔️

Love the Skeletool, has exactly what I need when I'm traveling towing a travel trailer. For EDC I'll take something with more tools. Debating on picking up a Powerpint

I've got a Bond and a Rev. I just don't really need pliers that often. I carry my Huntsman SAK more often and that's been all the drivers I need. I'll probably get a Skeletool sometime to see how I like it. I've been kept away because the price to tools ratio, same with the Signal... Idk. Maybe I need to hold them. Who knows. I sure don't.

I have a Charge AL, and very rarely carry it purely because of the weight, it's superb, but it's a real boat anchor,,, I've just ordered a Skeletool CX, hopefully it will be my edc, seems to tick most of the boxes for me,, ps, it better be useful, because they're close to £100 over here in England,, 😱🤞🤞
