Summary: an exelent tool
Comment: This tool has become the only knife that i need to carry, the blade is made of good steel with one of the best grinds I have ever seen on a combo blade. The handle is solid when using the pliers, up to a point. you sacrifice some strength with such a light build but it can handle most light to medium use. The only real issue I have with this tool is the pocket clip, it bends very easily but it hasn't broken yet, so every week I unscrew the clip and bend it back into shape. This thing is about the same size as a regular pocket knife and rides in your pocket like one.

Summary: Fantastic Product
Comment: I was torn between the skeletool and the new Wave. Leatherman 830040 New Wave Multi-Tool with Nylon Sheath
Here is where they differ where it counts (to me):
1. The new wave is straight; your hand is not; however, the skeletool takes up more room in your pocket because of the shape and bottle opener on the end
2. The new wave has more tools than the skeletool; it has been my experience that the more tools one tries to fit into a multi-tool, the less practical and functional those individual tools are; The ONLY other feature that I wish it has is scissors;
3. The new wave looks like any other leatherman; I have to give the skeletool its due accolades on both cool looks and sleek design;
4. The skeletool does not come with a pouch; Hey if you like features, look at point 3 again.
Now for the bad;
1. It would have been nice for leatherman to include a T-8 to remove the pocket clip; this was annoying;
2. The second bit storage does not hang on to the bit well; the bit fell out a couple of times;
3. The holes and crevices hold dirt and grime.
That is it on pros and cons.
I have kept this tool on me for a month now. I can safely say that I use it several times each day. With multi-tools I have had before, I would get frustrated with the lack of feature or functionality and be reluctant to use it, finally leaving it to collect dust in my catch-all.
I can say without exaggeration that I use it at least 3 times a day and its is extremely useful. I would recommend this tool to anyone.
As a side note, I also purchased the extra bit pack Leatherman's Bit Kit expands your driver's capabilities with 42 Multitool steel Bits.. I do not use them nearly as much as I anticipated.

Summary: Better Than Expected
Comment: This tool is very light, versatile and very handy. The blade, to my surprise, was immensely sharp, much sharper than any knife I have owned. The knife was so sharp I actually slid my thumb across the serration on accident while trying to open it quickly and it took a chunk of skin off. I have never owned a Leatherman so I was quite happy and pleased with this model.
