Milwaukee 5615-24 1.75-Horsepower Multi-Base Router Kit Review
This router is a powerful piece of equipment, quite versatile and rugged. The plunge feature is smooth and easy to use; highly ergonomic in design. The fixed base is comfortable and easily handled with one hand using a small round over bit. Instructions are easy to read and follow. The carrying case, however, is large and cumbersome, difficult to store. Looking forward to years of good service from this high quality product.

I’ve been needing a good dependable router to add to my collection of usable power tools. Thank Goodness for the Amazon Reviews to help me in the selection process. Although I am not a professional wood worker, I wanted something capable of more than merely occasional projects. I’ve already used this one and gotta say it is the best and easiest to use router I’ve ever owned. Yes, the case is big – yada yada. But look at all the storage availability inside. Not only does this case protectively nestle the router and both bases, but also has provisions for many different accessories. Allows you to keep your router and all your accessories in one convenient location. Would I recommend it? Hell Ya!

This is the first router I’ve owned, although not the first I’ve used, so interpret my comments in that light. I’ve been impressed with how well-built and easy to use this tool is. The height adjustment works well, changing bases is easy, and all the features seem to work as designed. Changing bits is a two-wrench operation but for my uses that’s not really an issue. The case is sturdy, and has storage for all kinds of accessories, including many that don’t come with the kit. The case is huge, however, so be prepared to give up some serious space in your workshop.

I picked up this router kit on sale for $126.00 with free shipping and no tax. You can not buy even the plunge base for that price. Great tool and an incredible value. Buy it NOW.

I went in to buy a Bosch and found this kit. This is a great tool. I am an intermediate woodworker-it is a hobby of mine. My daughter is a TA in wood shop at her school so maybe it runs in the family. Have used other routers. I love the palm grip. Gives you great control. Changing out the the bases is a snap, no tools required. The other routers I have used in the past require two wrenches to change bits so it was easy on this tool. The micro adjustment for depth works very well. Power switch is right where it should be. First Milwaukee tool for me. Only minor annoyance is that the case is huge. Overall, I am very pleased.

Omni Dual Saw Review
I’ve tested this tool on a variety of materials, it performs as advertised. My project for this tool is to cut in a larger doggie door in an exterior man door that is a foam filled sheet metal construction. I’ve done this before with long metal cutting blades in a Bosch jigsaw, it was a jarring experience. I expect no problems this time. I’m a 37 year experienced cabinetmaker, I own and I’m familiar with virtually all hand-held power tools.

I tried to purchase this produce from the company it self. Can you say SCAM!!! Don’t order it from the dual saw website. No matter what kind of payment options they offer you!! This was easy and pain free and the product itself really does cut through steel like a hot knife through butter.

This device runs and operates exactly as advertised. I cut everything I could think just to be sure. Any professional or serious amateur should have one in the tool kit. On the job site it is the only portable saw needed. Heavy and well made, it should have a long life. Perhaps expensive, but will pay for itself quickly

I received this product as a trial and it did not work right out of the box. I was charged $9.95 for the trial. When I returned the product I was charged another $29.99 for shipping although they gave me some “authorization number” that would have qualified for free return shipping. I basically paid $40 for a product that I did not even have a chance to try. On top of that, this company has one the worst customer service systems. Long wait over the phone once you are calling them for questions about the product. DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY LIKE I DID!!!

Denali 115-Piece Home Repair Tool Kit

Brand: Denali
Feature

Product Description
Every home needs a good set of basic tools, and kits are a great way to get them at a considerable savings. Three things make Denali’s 115-piece kit stand out—the price, an exceptional selection of screwdriver bits, and last but not least, the bag. In fact, it’s hard to find a set of tools as extensive as this for anywhere near this price. If purchased separately, these items would cost $150.00

This kit includes all of the tools you need for just about any household chore, from hanging pictures to fixing a leaky faucet. They are of good quality and should handle all of your household chores and repairs for many years to come. Going through this kit, I really appreciated little touches rarely seen in basic tool sets, like the soft-grip rubber cover on the tape measure that makes it easy and comfortable to hold, and the dizzying array of bits that come with the ratcheting screwdriver handle.

But what’s really brilliant is that all of these tools come in a heavy-duty nylon bag. Most tool sets come in big, flat blow-molded cases that can be awkward to store and carry. Plus, some tools invariably fall out when you open the case. That’s why most professionals, after buying a tool set, will throw away the case it came in and go out and buy a separate tool bag or chest to store their tools. The Denali kit’s bag fits easily under a sink cabinet (it actually is the size of a breadbox), and has both a shoulder strap and hand-straps that Velcro together, making it easy to carry around. The mouth of the bag has metal stabilizing rods in the zipper, so it opens wide and stays open, meaning you can set it down, and easily get to any of the tools inside while you are working. There are a ton of pockets lining the inside and outside of the bag to carry little things like nails, screws, tape, picture hangers—all of the little things that seem to crowd your kitchen drawers.

Of course, what are most important are the tools themselves. Again, this is a well-appointed set of quality tools that should outfit you for just about any household need. Here is a complete tally.

Denali 115-Piece Home Repair Tool Kit Review
I had ordered this set for my boyfriend as a valentines day gift and it arrived on time, only HALF of it that is. I was sent double of some items and the rest was missing. As far as the quality goes, I suppose you get what you pay for. If anyone plans on using these tools all of the time I would invest in a better quality set, but if you only use them for rare fixings round the house then its fine. I am sending it back for refund and shopping for a better quality. I just wasted days and now Valentines day is even closer. Guess I will be shopping in a store.

I bought four of these tool kits for graduating senior boys. Of course initially they look at the gift and were quite underwhelmed. However, I have had many kids tell me how much they used them at college or in the car. This kit is great. I love the soft, but tough bag. The tools are great. High quality and a great mix.

My husband is a try to fix things around the house kind of guy. The sons and grandsons are always borrowing his tools and they never seem to get back home. He loved this kit. He says it is everything he needs. And it is going to be hidden in his bedroom closet!

While it may seem like a lot of tools. Its not a particularly good set. Further. Its just a bag, so you have to dump all the crap just in the bag. Its cheap and a decent gift for someone who has not set, but there are probably better ones out there.

As a maintenance supervisor useful hand tools are essential to the job. This collection of tools and its hand carrying care are a blessing. Although the hack saw lacks a little in design, it’s still functional. I would prefer a small blade length, but that can be remedied at your local hardware store. As far as the other tools in this collection are concerned, they work and have so far been very dependable. I highly recommend this collection of hand tools.

Apollo Precision Tools DT9706P 39-piece Pink General Tool Set Review
The tools with pink accents are great. I thought it would get her faster tho and it arrived after the event where it was to be gifted. That was a bummer.

Awesome tools. Really nice to be able to give a tool set to Mrs Vynrod that not only was sturdy and comprehensive but also aesthetically looked great with their shocking pink accents. I’m not allowed to use the pink tools so I’m told (I’m terrible for putting tools back in their proper place) but there’s no way I could confuse them with mine so I don’t think she has to worry!

I had been needing a tool set for a long time but they are all kind of pricey. i found this one for 20 some dollars and thought this was a great deal. i was kind of nervous of the quality when i ordered, but i received them and they are great.

I bought this as a gift for a girlfriend who had tools tossed around in a drawer. It’s a nice presentation. Nice basic set of tools for routine tasks. One in one case.

I got this as a gift for my wife. She uses it often and it does the job for her. One complaint – the razor blade does not work too well. I don’t know if we got a bad one but it seems cheap. Other than that the tools work well for little projects that my wife does around the house.

KR Tools 95580 Pro Series 15-Piece Utility Drawer Tool Kit Review
This is a very nice little stater set and I was very impressed when I looked it over. Got it on a lightning deal; so it was even more impressive. I’m not rating this as a $2,000 “Mr. Handyman” array; but for what it is, a nice little starter set. It exceeds at that task.

I bought a slightly smaller version of this at Walmart for less than $20. It’s perfect for me at work but not durable enough for my husband’s construction projects. You can get the 24 piece version from Sears (with poor reviews) for $20, $10 less than Amazon’s price. Strange how you can’t find any mention of these kits on the KR Tools website.

I got this set because I needed a few tools for light repairs and I didn’t want to spend a lot of money. This set has held up for over two years of light wear. Not high quality but not poor quality either. A nice starter set.

I bought this tool set for a niece who moved into her first apt. after college grad. She loves it and uses it continually. She said it was a unique “house-warming” gift that she will use continually. It is feminine too and that was something she liked about it and the tools were sturdy.

This tool kit has all of the hand tools and a few more that a (more likely woman) will need. I have so far found all of the tools to be sturdy and well designed. Upon opening my Apollo Tool Box, I immediately noticed the poor workmanship. All of the tools have a CHINA print or label on them, as the entire kit was Made in China. There are unfinished edges to the plastic pieces (flakes or rough edges). The tools overall have the appearance of coming through a factory line and immediately being put in the box, without a final check. All tools have proved durable (though I have only had this for a month) but the presentation of the tools is surprisingly poor. Perhaps the appearance is of no concern to some, but if given as a gift, this tool box may look “cheap” due to the workmanship.

This kit makes a great gift for a young woman on her own, and includes just about everything she’ll need for minor repairs, hanging pictures, and setting up her own household. The addition of hangers and various nails and brads is great! The tools are well-made and should serve her well for years. The whole thing is a great value, too.

This tool box has been great. It arrived right before I moved to a new apartment and was invaluable in taking apart my Ikea furniture and pulling out wall mounts for shelves and pictures. The cordless electric screw-driver is an excellent addition, although a manual one would also have been nice.

I purchased this tool kit for my daughter who just moved into her first apartment and I believe every woman living on her own should have a set of tools. This set is very compelete and includes everything to help her hang pictures to fix a shelf to patching a hole. I know it is somthing she will always have and will use often.

This is the third tool kit I’ve ordered. They were gifts for my adult daughters and stepdaughter. This was the one gift that had the best reaction at Christmas; and the daughter who had received it months ago as a birthday gift went on and on describing how much she has used hers. Everyone needs tools around the house, and the fact that these are organized and pink make them the perfect set for a young woman. I will continue to keep this set in mind for future women in need!

Stanley 94-248 65-piece General Homeowner’s Tool Set Review
If you’re just a normal person who uses a telephone to call a repairman more often than a tool set, this one is perfect. It has everything, and it feels solid and will hold up perfectly well under easy use. The master handyman had better upgrade a bit. Closing the top without pieces falling out is an art that can be mastered.

Stanley is definitely a descent brand and this tool set is pretty enough for everything i need. The only thing I want to complain a little is you need t a screw driver to open this tool set. (If I had a screw driver, I may not need to buy a tool set!) Other than that, that’s all fine!

I bought this kit to keep in the house and avoid having to run to my larger tool chest in the garage when I need a couple of basic tools. In general, the tool quality is good for general household use, and I really only have two complaints about the kit. The first that is that the ratchet is basically junk (but what can you really expect for $43?). It’s O.K. for light duty work, but don’t expect to crank on it very hard without it breaking. If you think you’ll need this tool often, consider buying a higher quality ratchet and socket kit. The other issue that I have is that there are no wrenches included in the kit. I plan on picking up a cheap crescent wrench to add to mine. (Come on, Stanley, increase the price a few bucks if you have to, but make this a complete kit by adding a crescent wrench!) Finally, the plastic box that the tools come in is nice from the standpoint of being able to quickly locate a tool, but the box takes up a lot of storage space. I bought a small tool bag to keep the tools in, and I found it more convenient. You have to look a little closer to find the tool you want with the bag, but there aren’t enough pieces in this kit to create problems finding tools.

Wagner Power Products 513041 Paint Eater Replacement Disc Review
These Paint Eater discs are by far the fastest and easiest way to remove paint that I have ever used. I took the disk and modified it to fit on my 4 1/2″ makita grinder and it really works fast! Highly recommended!

I bought this in case I needed a second disc while doing a lot if sanding while remodelling a room. Turns out the original was up to the task and I didn’t need the extra. I will be using it eventually, I’m sure. Only drawback to this type of disk is that it tends to clog and it is necessary to run it over some cement to clean it out.

We are currently repainting our house and 3 other buildings so we got a PaintEater. This tool is the best we have ever used to remove the old, peeling paint. It is so much better than sandpaper and lots faster. We have used up 3 heads so far with all the buildings and we couldn’t have done it so quickly without this tool.

These are the greatest when it comes to paint removal. I highly recommend the Wagner Paint Eater, tool.

Excellent product. I bought it to strip the paint off an old truck that I’m restoring and it works great. Takes paint and rust off but leaves the metal. It also seems to be pretty tough. I thought it might break down when it hit metal edges but seems to hold up well.

Wagner Power Products 513040 PaintEater Review
After a short learning curve. The machine worked well and is much lighter then other machines owned. The pad works great. The pad can be aggressive to wood but a acquired feel allows good control. You might want to start in an out of the way spot not the front door. It similar to a pressure washer, used properly it is a great tool, but misuse can damage the surface. My only negative is the switch which should de-energize when unplugged.

Excellent for stripping old paint but needs a steady hand to avoid gouging into the material being sanded. The manual says for outdoor use only. I used it inside. It works fine but you will make a rather large mess due to the dust it kicks up. I recommend a little practice before stripping “the real thing”.

I was really concerned about the wide range of opinions on this tool, but I had a tough job and needed any help I could get. I wish I hadn’t spent the money on this. I was using it to strip off peeling, chipping paint from a bedroom with 1960′s wallboard. It was very difficult to keep steady on a flat surface. It would easily dig in to the wallboard, and also left circular marks. The only way to avoid damage was to have a very light touch, which didn’t help to remove the paint. I think it might work better on hard wood or metal, but they will need to develop different types of pads for different material.

I’m a pro painter and was looking for a better tool for removing paint. I often use a grinder with carbide teeth to remove multiple layers of old alligator or cracked paint where you really want to remove everything to the wood. The “paint eater” is not the tool for those really tough jobs. It does seem appropriate for knocking off a layer or two of loose paint and feathering edges. Much better than hand scraping or orbital sander. Decent tool for the price on light duty work.

Bought this to prep 20 year old cedar siding for repainting. It had not been painted for at least 7 years. The PaintEater made quick work of what could have been quite a scraping project. I did go through 2 discs in the process. But for the square footage I covered, that was not excessive. Use the disc’s edge when the disc is new (and thickest) to scrape the lower edges of the siding. It is noisy and produces a lot of dust. It does take some practice to get the best feathered edges. If the unit begins to wobble as you strip/sand, resist the temptation to press harder. Instead, ease off the wall surface and then press down. That seems to regain control faster.

Rockwell RK5101K Sonicrafter Review
I had seen a video promo on TV about this product and it does everything it promised. I especially love it for working on crown mouldings and baseboards as we live in a very old house and I am currently renovating….As a female hobbyist I find this tool very easy to use and to handle. I would recomend it as a must to any workshop.

I bought this product for a specific purpose (removal of a broken tile). It did the job well enough, but I found, as other reviewers have done,that the attachment screw worked loose very easily. This problem was reduced when I placed less pressure on the machine and let it do the job itself. I think it will prove to be a useful enough tool to have around, especially for smaller cutting and sanding jobs. However, it is expensive.

Used tool to cut door moulding bottoms in preparation for laying tile. Worked great!! Especially liked ability to mount blade at ~90 degree angle to get into a corner. Blade cut the moulding like butter. Initially, blade vibrated loose, but tightened the screw a little tighter and had no more problems. Tool is reasonably quiet–more of a low level hum than a buzz. Comes with decent case. Definitely would buy again.

I’ve used this tool while remodeling my bathroom this month. I cut an exact rectangle in the bottom of a cabinet to accommodate an air conditioning duct and it fit perfect. I used the scraper to get old lining paper out from the drawers. I sanded in tight places that I normally would have to do by hand. I have never had such an exact cutting and sanding tool like the Sonicrafter. This is the perfect tool if remodeling is the job your doing.

So, this is my first weekend with 37-pice Sonicrafter. The job is to strip layers of old paint from a metal radiator cover. I mounted the scraper on, dialed up the variable speed to recommended high and went ahead only applying gentle pressure. After 5 minutes I had to remove my hand from the metal front area. It became way too hot to touch. As a matter of fact, I would never use any other tool at this temperature. To Sonicrafter’s credit it didn’t produce any smoke and kept turning it off every 10-12 minutes. Contacted Rockwell’s Customer Service and was advised to exchange the unit. At this point I am not sure if exchange is the right way. Maybe I should shell out more dollars and step up to Multimaster?

Milwaukee 6509-22 Reciprocating Saw Review
Rugged well-built saw which does everything I’ll ever need on the farm. Great service and lowest price from Amazon. I always read reviews on Amazon purchases before I buy, so this is my thanks for other reviewers.

Sawzall has plenty of power. Quick lock chuck makes it easy to install & remove blades.Tracks well for accurate cuts. Cut five 10′ aluminum loading dock gates in half accurately, no binding w/ power to spare. Saw shipped minus the wood blade. Called Milwaukee & they shipped a blade within 3 days, in fact they even sent a spare. My next power tool will be a Milwaukee even if I have to pay a little more for it, in this case the saw was very reasonable priced.

Milwaukee still makes great tools. I’ve heard some of their new stuff is hecho en Mexico, but this one’s still made in the good ol’USA. Even being the smaller of their Sawzalls, it’s still powerful enough to get through 2x6s and 3-4 diameter tree branches with ease, when you choose the appropriate blades. Speaking of which, I bought a Bosch combo pack, and couldn’t be happier. Milwaukee tools and Bosch blades; great together. Then again, anything with Bosch blades.

I purchased this Sawzall to use mostly in Autobody restoration, but have found that it has many more uses than that. I have used this saw for everything from cutting out some old water pipes from my house, to removing tree roots, to cutting up scrap wood to fit in the mulcher. What started as a tool to use on automobiles for me has turned into the most often used tool in my garage. It has plenty of power for what I have used it for to this point, and Milwaukee offers a nice selection of blades for it. My only complaint would be that it didn’t come with more of a variety of the available blades. Two was just not enough to have right off the bat.

Bought this last year and my main purpose for it, was to cut down my daughter’s aluminum swing set. My wife pulled me aside one day to remind me that Kati was 21 and probably wouldn’t be using it all that much, you know, her being 4 hours away at college and all. This thing was huge and took up a large portion of one side of the yard. When I put it in, I guess I feared a Hurricane (not something we regularly experience here in Northern Michigan), since I put 100 pounds of concrete in each leg hole. So, needless to say, I couldn’t just put an add in the paper for someone to come by and pick it up for their kids. Long story short, I hoped that the Sawzall would be my answer, and it was. I spent an enjoyable afternoon cutting up the thick aluminum, as the saws blades went through it like the proverbial hot knife through butter. It was very cool. I have used it a couple times since, but feel good just knowing it is there when needed. Just buy it, you won’t regret it!

Weller WLC100 Soldering Station For Hobbyist And Do-It-Yourselfer

Brand: Weller
Feature

Designed with the hobbyist and the do-it-yourself enthusiast in mind, this kit features a high-quality, lightweight pencil iron with variable power control, a cushioned foam grip with a replaceable heating element, and a safety guard iron holder. And it’s from Weller, the world leader in soldering since 1945.

Weller WLC100 Soldering Station Review
I purchased this needing to do a very delicate (several hour long) solder job, and I needed more than just the little handheld I keep around the house. I used to work professionally in the electronics repair business, but had long since gotten rid of my tools. This is a very well built soldering station that really holds up. If you are a beginner or professional, you will appreciate the ease of use and nice soldering this station allows you to do. The temperature control makes it great for a multitude of projects. In short, don’t be fooled by the low price. This station will perform as well as any $100.00+ unit out there.

I use a Weller WES51 Weller WES51 Analog Soldering Station, Power Unit, Soldering Pencil, Stand and Sponge at work doing work on circuit boards. I’ve got probably 24 hours of use on the WES51 so far. I bought the WLC100 for use at home on hobby and DIY work because it is half the price of the WES51. The biggest differences I have seen being: The WLC100 takes MUCH longer to reach operating temperature(but the WES51 only takes 20-30 seconds) and doesn’t have the same ability to hold operating temperature when doing large joints. With that said, it’s as solid a unit as I’ve used besides my WES51 and can get every job done that should be needed by a hobbyist. If you are planning to use this for long periods of professional work, I suggest going stepping up, but for smaller jobs this is the station to get.

After exrpessing a lot of frustration to our internal tech guy I took his advice and finally broke down and bought a good iron. Wow. This ain’t your daddy’s $3 iron that’s for sure! Tasks that were a huge pain in the kiester become straightforward. Small jobs are an absolute breeze. Do yourself a favor and spend the dough on a good iron. You’ll wonder why you waited so long.

This is a nice soldering station at a fraction of the price of professional models. The temperature control is not as precise as more expensive models but is good enough for general use. The standard tip supplied with the unit is too large for most electronic work, but other tips are available for under $10. When I received the unit, the soldering iron did not fit into the holder. Apparently the plastic collar on the iron was warped. I filed it down a bit, and then it was OK.

Dremel 8000-03 Cordless Rotary Tool Review
I am a regular purchaser on Amazon. It’s a Dremel and it performs to the standard you would expect from a old time company like Dremel. I am very happy with the purchase. As usual Amazon ships quickly and often gets to me long before the delivery date they show. The battery stays charged even when not in the charger Dremel states will hold 80% charge for four months without being in the charger..The free shipping on items over $25 is a no brainer.

Whenever a manufacturer presents a tool powered by batteries, it is my opinion that the re-charge of said battery should, at least, be close to the time it takes to drain the power through use of the tool. I purchased THREE batteries for use in my Lithium-Ion Cordless Dremel, and still had to wait an hour and a half when It ran out of gas. UNACCEPTABLE. I figured that I would need two more batteries, and another charger, or two, to be able to work constantly with this tool. Dremel, please find a way to reduce the charging time from three hours to one, and, market a charger that can charge multiple batteries at once. Until you do that, this tool is more of an interesting toy than anything else. Please note, I give these tools HEAVY use, and I will ALWAYS recommend Dremel products. Just not the battery powered ones at this time, unless your jobs are short, and light duty.

Before Hurricane Katrina, we were living in an apartment in Bay St. Louis, MS, and building a house nearby. The house under construction and our apartment were destroyed, totally. Almost everything we owned was stored in a commercial storage unit that was under 20 feet of water. We could not get to the unit for three weeks and when we did, there was no electricity and everything was knee-deep in stinking mud, dark, and rusted. The only way I could get into my storage unit was with the diamond cutting wheel on my Dremel 800 — I used it to cut the shank off the high-security lock on the unit. The owner of the units was so impressed he asked me to find a Dremel 800 in Baton Rouge, LA, and bring it to him. We set up a shuttle of charged batteries and replacement wheels — he used his Dremel to cut off over 150 locks on storage units. Everything in our unit was a total loss but the Dremel performed flawlessly.

This can be very handy when you need a Dremel tool but can’t or don’t want to get out the extension cord. Biggest drawback is that it Stalls way too easily and that trips the internal circuit breaker. Then you have to shut off the tool, wait a few seconds, then you can turn it back on. That means that a lot of simple quick jobs are going to take a lot longer than they should have. Only option is to be very very careful not to Stall the tool but then it will still take longer to finish the job. I’m not using this tool anywhere near what I had hoped to, instead I’m getting the extension cord out and using my regular Dremel. Other drawback is that the Battery Packs are very expensive considering their size and power. I would still buy it but overall I’m disappointed with this tool and will continue to look for an alternative that doesn’t have this tool’s problems.

Milwaukee 5615-24 Multi-Base Router Kit Review
I went in to buy a Bosch and found this kit. This is a great tool. I am an intermediate woodworker-it is a hobby of mine. My daughter is a TA in wood shop at her school so maybe it runs in the family. Have used other routers. I love the palm grip. Gives you great control. Changing out the the bases is a snap, no tools required. The other routers I have used in the past require two wrenches to change bits so it was easy on this tool. The micro adjustment for depth works very well. Power switch is right where it should be. First Milwaukee tool for me. Only minor annoyance is that the case is huge. Overall, I am very pleased.

This router is a powerful piece of equipment, quite versatile and rugged. The plunge feature is smooth and easy to use; highly ergonomic in design. The fixed base is comfortable and easily handled with one hand using a small round over bit. Instructions are easy to read and follow. The carrying case, however, is large and cumbersome, difficult to store. Looking forward to years of good service from this high quality product.

I use this router in a home hobby shop. I am very happy with the performance of this tool. The only down side is the location of the on off switch. I would prefer a triger mount to the toggle switch provided.

Product Description
The sleek new Leatherman Skeletool CX gets you back to basics… very cool basics. The Skeletool CX has only the most necessary of multi-tool features, because sometimes that’s all you need. With a 154CM combo stainless steel blade, pliers, bit driver, pocket clip and carabiner/bottle opener, you’re set. Lightweight, low volume, perfect size. The Skeletool CX: Who says more is better? Tools: Large Bit Driver Bottle Opener Carabiner Clip INCLUDED BITS – Phillips #1 and #2 Bit, Screwdriver 3/16 and 1/4 Bit.

Leatherman 830850 Skeletool CX Multitool Review
After patiently waiting four months to receive my Skeletool from Amazon it finally came. The CX is smaller than I initially expected but it really is as big as it needs to be. It feels comfortable in the hand and looks amazing. There is very little flex when using the pliers, although it is possible to pinch your thumb between the handles if you are not careful. The knife can be opened with one hand and locks in place nicely. The bit driver feature also has a locking lever which is pressed to change bits. I’ve owned other multi-tools (i.e. gerber, swiss army) and never used all the features. The CX has the essentials leaving it light weight and well balanced. Just clip it to the inside of your pocket with the belt clip and you can’t even tell it is there. I highly recommend it.

Finally received my CX. Removing it from the package I was very pleased with the overall feel of the tool, the fit and finishes are excellent and there are no immediately noticeable sharp edges. It was slightly heavier than I thought it would be, a little heavier than my usual EDC pocket knife, but not bad. Like other reviewers before me I noticed that the carbon fiber may reduce the weight very slightly, however I think it mostly serves to make the tool more aesthetically pleasing. I don’t have the problems with the bits that another review had, the bit in the bit holder is held in by a catch that has to be depressed to remove the bit, The other bit is very secure in the handle, although it may get loose once there is some wear on the bit. The bottle opener works and now I’ll carry it around for a while and see how it feels in the pocket. All in all I’m very happy with the tool, it has most of the tools I use the most, lacking only the scissors, in a smaller lighter package.

I’ve always wanted a leatherman, but am not the type of person to carry one on my belt. The Skeletool is as light as the pocket knife I used to tote and a lot more functional. Basically, there’s just about everything I need on here except a lighter and flashlight. The fact that the blade opens from the outside of the handle is a great step forward for Leatherman and the factory edge is razor sharp. I now realize how handy it is to have a wire cutter and screw driver with you at all times. Normally my key ring always had a bottle opener on it ever since college, but after the years, I finally wore it out. Having one on the Skeletool makes it a necessity to keep in my pocket wherever I go. I don’t make a living using this tool, but as someone who just likes to be prepared, I’m really happy with the purchase.

If you are thinking of buying the Skeletool or Skeletook CX, then you probably aren’t looking for a multitool that has every possible gadget. It has a knife, a bit driver, a good set of pliers, a pocket clip, and a small carabiner clip that doubles as a bottle opener. That is all. It does not have scissors, a file or a saw. It does not come with a sheath. It comes with two double-ended driver bits – one with two sizes of phillips head and one with two sizes of flat head. These are proprietary bits so you cannot use any other bits from other tools you may already own. I strongly recommend ordering the Leatherman bit set right off the bat. It’s mainly intended for backpackers who don’t really need basic tools to repair and maintain gear in the field while keeping weight to a minimum. It’s about the same size and weight as my Benchmade Stryker folding pocket knife and I find it comfortable to carry in my pocket or clipper to my pack or belt loop (though that’s a good way to rip a belt loop and lose the tool). The big debate is whether the CX model is worth the extra money or whether you should just buy the regular Skeletool. Both models weigh 5 ounces so the carbon fiber is decorative rather than genuinely weight-saving. The CX is a little sharper looking due to its darker color, but I paid the extra money to get the better knife blade. The blade on the CX is made of the tougher 154CM steel as opposed to the 420HC used for the regular Skeletool’s blade. It should hold an edge better and take a little more abuse than the regular Skeletool’s blade. The blade on the CX is also a partially serrated “Combo edge” that gives it an improved ability to cut through tough webbing or ropes if necessary.
