The Skeletool trumps a lot of standard style bicycle multi-tools because of its inclusion of a serrated knife and a set of pliers. The Bit Kit includes almost every screwdriver head, torx key head, and hex key head you are likely to need for bicycle maintenance with the possible exception of not including a chain-tool or some of the larger sized hex keys (8mm for example). When partnered with the Leatherman Bit Kit add-on however, you gain a massive 42 other tool bits. As standard, the Skeletool arrives with flat head and Phillips screwdriver bits with the spare one able to be housed within the shell of the tool. The versatility of the Skeletool as a cycling multi-tool comes as a result of the Leatherman locking bit driver system. The blade and bit driver also feature a locking mechanism, so there is no risk of sudden closure, or of you losing your screwdriver bits mid-task. All the tools can be accessed single-handed from the outside of the unit. The Skeletool is designed with ease-of-use and handling in mind. Yet, this 7-in-1 tool has the capability to deliver a significantly greater level of functionality compared to many bicycle multi-tools on the market today.Īs the stand-alone product, the Leatherman Skeletool comes with a 420HC stainless-steel combination blade, dual type pliers, a wire cutter, a bit driver and screwdriver bits, a removable pocket clip, and a carabiner/bottle opener. The Leatherman Skeletool weighs in at just 142 grams-placing it well within the realms of your standard bicycle multi-tool. Partnered with the Leatherman Bit Kit it makes for a superb bikepacking and bicycle touring tool. The Leatherman Skeletool Multi-Tool is a plier type tool designed to be lightweight, portable, and robust. Leatherman tools are excellent quality and offer lifelong companions for back-of-beyond adventures.
