Skeletool CX - I got one!
Sunday, March 16th, 2008I got one!!!
Finally, it came. I’ve been waiting for it for a long while, had a pre-order for months! This the reason I started this blog. All I can say is that it’s awesome. Pictures and a full review coming in a day or so. I’ve got a lot of tinkering to do with it. For those of you that are curious, it’s the Skeletool CX 830849. The 850’s are not out yet… or at least I can’t get them.
What’s there not to love about this tool? It’s small, it’s compact, it’s beautifully designed, a pleasure to hold, to show off and to use. I never thought I’d actually want to carry a multi-purpose tool around, this one is different. It’s got that “cool” and “wow” factor. No longer a strong hold of the handyman, say hello to the multi-purpose tool for the masses.
For starters, the blade, it’s easy to open with one hand, it’s sharp and ready to go. The bottle opener / belt and key chain hook is a great combination. The fact that the extra screw driver bit is hidden inside the Skeletool body frame is genius. How often are you concerned about losing your extra bits? Pictures are below.
