I have had one of these on my key chain for over 15 years now; it’s only been replaced 3 times and I use it almost daily. It comes with a removable plastic toothpick and tweezers. I love having a toothpick handy after eating out somewhere and the tweezers work very well. The tweezers do not have the strongest grip because they are very thin and therefore a bit flexible, but I have never had them fail to work and they have very sharp edges for getting out the finest hair and/or splinter.

The knife and fingernail file/screwdriver are obviously useful in many instances; the only problem I’ve ever had is that if you are trying to remove/loosen a very tight screw it might close on you if you press too hard. The implements do not ‘lock’ into place, so you have to use some caution.

The scissors were originally my primary reason for purchasing these and are fine enough to help trim your cuticles and strong enough for smaller cuts. They are definitely not super strong but definitely cut paper and thin plastic easily.

Overall, these are a terrific gift for just about anyone and a great purchase for yourself. I’ve seen them in the store for upwards of $14 but you can get these for less frequently on sale at Amazon.

Got one for Christmas, used it for one project, installing gas lines in the basement. Wrench fell off the ladder and that was it, no more auto wrench.

The good part, returned this to a B&D store, they sent me 3 wrenches as a replacment.

I’ll be more careful with the replacements, but, this is not a regular tool, have to be careful with it.

I would not have bought this myself, nothing beats a good Craftsman open end wrench. I’ll find a use for it.

I was very excited to order this level as our local Lowe’s had been sold out for over a month. The targets were very appealing since I hang a lot of art that requires multiple nails. However, it was not as easy to use as I had assumed. First, you must use a writing instrument small enough to reach through the target holes (not a deal-breaker, just a little annoying). Secondly, I did not consider the problem with the length of the level. I could not use it in several places I needed it most due to door or window frames getting in the way. This is where a shorter version with the targets would be most helpful.

I would recommend, but only if you need a level to begin with or have very specific needs – it is just not improved enough to justify replacing one you already have.

I’ve been carrying a Charge XTi around for almost 4 years at work. I picked a Skeletool up just as something to use around the house when I need it because it’s a lot more convenient to carry around. Well now my Charge sits in a drawer at work and I just take this thing everywhere.

It’s so much easier and more convenient to carry around and still has all the tools that I need 95% of the time. I like the shape a lot more than the other Leatherman tools and the pliers feel way more solid in my hand. It only has 4 different bits, but the storage is pretty handy. If you have the Leatherman bit set they’ll all fit in that same storage space so you can carry around whatever you wish.

I went with the regular version instead of the CX version for two reasons. I wanted a knife that wasn’t serrated so it’d be easier to sharpen. I also couldn’t justify the increase in price since it really didn’t decrease the weight by much (if at all) and just looks cooler in black.
