Product Information
Full details
The Leatherman Skeletool CX in the Nightshade finish is an ideal choice for outdoor enthusiasts, professionals, and EDC (everyday carry) users who prioritize portability without sacrificing functionality. Weighing only 100 grams, it distills seven essential tools into a streamlined, durable frame that easily fits in a pocket or on a belt. While its minimalist design makes it exceptionally lightweight, users should note that its reduced tool count may not replace a full-sized toolbox for heavy-duty construction tasks.

FAQs
Does the Skeletool CX come with a sheath?
This model is designed to be carried using the integrated pocket clip or carabiner and typically does not include a belt sheath.
Can I replace the bits in the driver?
Yes, the Skeletool CX uses standard Leatherman bits that are easily interchangeable with other bits from the Leatherman collection.
Is the Nightshade finish scratch-resistant?
While the finish is durable, it is a coating and may show signs of wear if frequently exposed to abrasive surfaces or metal keys.
Is this tool TSA compliant?
No, because the Skeletool CX features a locking blade, it is not permitted for carry-on luggage on commercial aircraft.
What is the warranty on this tool?
Leatherman offers a 25-year limited warranty on all their multi-tools, covering defects in materials or workmanship.
Troubleshooting
Tools are difficult to open or stiff
Apply a small amount of high-quality penetrating oil to the pivot points and work the tool open and closed repeatedly.
Blade has become dull
Use a diamond-coated sharpener or fine-grit whetstone to restore the edge, maintaining the original blade angle.
Wire cutters are no longer cutting cleanly
Check the screws securing the wire cutters; if they are worn down, replace the inserts using a standard torx wrench.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Out of the box, the Skeletool CX is ready for immediate use. To maintain the tool, ensure the pivot points are kept clean of debris; a drop of machine oil on the hinges every few months will keep the opening action smooth. The tool is compatible with Leatherman's proprietary bit kit, allowing you to customize the bit driver based on your specific project needs. Avoid using the blade as a pry bar to prevent chipping, and store the tool in a dry environment to maintain the finish.
