The Leatherman Skeletool is awesome--easily the best blend of quality, portability, and performance that you're going to find in a tool having a knife, pliers, and driver. It covers the essentials of casual, day-to-day tool needs, yet it's smaller and lighter than expected--enough that I routinely forget it's in my pocket, even when wearing semi-dress pants (business casual attire) for work. People who obsess over having more tools may be disappointed, but those who prefer serious utility will appreciate that NONE of the mainstay tools incorporated into the Skeletool feels like a compromise. Simply put, they all work well and especially with regard to the blade, feel significantly more useful than the undersized or poorly designed tools found on many other multitools.About the tools...The knife blade is large enough and convenient enough to access one-handed that it can easily replace a standalone folding knife without feeling like a disappointing compromise that sacrifices functionality. Some will prefer the straight edge of the CX model over the combo edge (partly straight and partly serrated) on this standard version--and usually, I would too--but in this case, this is one of the better designed combo edges I've owned. There is enough straight edge to handle slicing. The blade is also thicker than the standard fare blade on other multitools, which is particularly refreshing. This knife doesn't just cut well; it feels durable. (That doesn't mean you should use it for prying, though! Respect the blade and use it properly!)The pliers are robust enough that you can use them for light to medium tasks without fear of breakage. (No, you shouldn't use them for extracting lag bolts from dense wood or something really heavy like that, but for common and likely daily chores that spring up unexpectedly, they are outstanding.) The pliers are also precise enough that I don't miss the tweezers on some of my Swiss Army knives and other multi-tools (the jaws match up so precisely that I've been able to use them to extract slivers nearly as easily as I can with a proper tweezers!). That was a very pleasant surprise, as a tweezers is one of the most frequently useful tools I use on any multi-tool.The driver and two included bits (a double-sided Philips size 1 and 2, and a double-sided flathead size small and medium) are well designed and work great for tightening/loosening the most common-sizes of screws, as well as some light scraping/prying (with the flathead bit). It's also possible to buy or make adapters that extend the functionality further by increasing the reach of the drivers or allowing you to attach standard 1/4" hex bits, although I find that entirely unnecessary and somewhat at odds with the minimalist intent of this tool. Why get a Skeletool and then add bulk and weight? If you're going to do that, you should be looking at the Wave, Surge, Mut, or other more fully-featured multi-tools.In short, this is probably the single best-designed multi-tool in existence for daily pocket carry for most people. You'll always have a great blade, very good pliers/cutters, good bit driver, good bottle opener, and adequate scraper (using the square driver bit). The only glaring omissions that some people are likely to miss are a more robust and purpose-designed scraper/pry tool or possibly a scissors. A proper tweezers is usually top of list for me too, but so far, I've found the pliers actually provide almost as good utility because of how precisely the jaws come together at the tip (hopefully, that will remain the case over time).In short, for people wanting a lightweight, well-functioning multi-tool, this one is HIGHLY recommended. In my opinion, the only other worth comparing it with, if you want more tools, is the Juice S2, but I prefer the Skeletool.
