Customer Rating:
Summary: Skeletool, pretty cool.
Comment: What are my credentials for rating this? We have a farm, I rock climb, ice climb, camp and mountaineer and I regularly work on farm equipment, old Land Rovers and motorcycles.
I'm a multitool whore. I have the original PST, the SuperTool, Wave, Victorinox Swiss multitool, Schraeder's multitool, Gerber Multi-pliers, Kershaw's multitool, several swiss army knives and the Leatherman mini.
Up until now, I've always ended up going back to the original PST. It had all the tools I needed, with the size that fit easily into a pocket. Personally, I hate having crap hanging off my belt. It gets caught on stuff and things can get dropped. Plus it looks bad, face it--you know it does.
Yes, the PST hurts your hands when gripping the pliers tightly, but gloves pretty much cover that problem.
Depending on the situation, I will carry one of the others (camping I like to have the saw; ice climbing, I like having vise grips and file on the Kershaw tool; working on electrics I like the cable cutter jaws on the Gerber tool, etc) but generally I carry the PST 95% of the time. Until now.
The skeletool is low profile like the PST. That's a big plus for me. It slips into my pocket like a pocket knife but still has the pliers as a primary tool, unlike a swiss army knife. The knife is very good.
BTW, I went with the Skeletool not the Skeletool CX because I cannot find a good way to sharpen serrated blades.
The bit driver is the best I've used. Get the accessory bit kit, it has the bits I need for ice tools. The carabiner clip works well, despite seeming a bit gimmicky. The bottle opener is awesome.
If it had a file on it, I'd give it 5 stars (the PST has a file, btw).
Nowadays, I carry the Skeletool 75% of the time and it's the tool I take climbing. The PST goes when I'm working in the muck (on the farm). The Gerber is still my electrical choice. Now that I have a good way to bring 4 and 5 mm Allen bits, I don't need the Kersaw ViceGrips out ice climbing.
Bottom line: This is a bare bones, lightweight tool. If compactness matters AND you only really need knife, pliers and driver bits, this is the right tool. (Really, you can use the plier jaws as a bottle opener if you need to).

Summary: Does not replace the Kick.
Comment: It is o.k. but I would rather have and use my Leatherman Kick. It is just a little to small to do the jobs that I do with my Kick. Thanx Deacon

Summary: Love it...
Comment: I do a lot of "light duty" weekend work where I'm frequently in need of a screwdriver, pliers, and/or knife...this tool fits the bill! I've found the quick-access knife to be better than expected. The pliers have a very solid feel to them and work well. Some multitools collapse too easy but not this one, it's firm and built well...not at all loose. I don't like that I have to carry an extra pouch of bits for the screwdriver funtion but it does have both flat and phillips blades which is mostly what I need. The lightweight makes it easy to carry, even when wearing shorts. At this point, I feel naked without it!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Good Tool
Comment: This is a pretty good tool if you're looking for something that is fairly light weight, has a pocket clip, and easy access to the folding knife blade and excellent bottle opener/carabiner. I've been carrying this tool daily for the past few months and really like it. You may want to get backup screwdriver insert bits as I just noticed that my phillips has apparantly fallen out and will need replacing.

Summary: Skeletool, all the muscle.. none of the fat
Comment: Great product, essentially the holy grail of plier meet knife meet utili-driver; plus carabiner (For hanging off a cliff or opening that beer)
Bought a friend the stainless steel one, and the pliers sheered, appeared to be manufacture defect in the steel. Was promptly replaced with no cost to me. Two Thumbs.. woohoo!
