I don't mind it's usefulness but I don't find this specific tool ergonomically friendly at all. I'll stick to my Leatherman Wave thanks
I prefer my Swiss Army Sapphire Cybertool 41 =)
I still find their stuff about $15 over priced.
I got this for my dad for x-mess (about 5 bucks less too). It seems well built and should be useful on his fishing trips.
#1, I prefer my Wave too, but my Skeletool CX is a lot lighter, a lot easier to carry, and, for me, is almost as functional. I'm a lot more likely to have the CX with me when I need it.
This looks pretty cool, not too expensive either.

I have this. Definitely lighter than other Leathermans. Downside is when using as pliers, the screwdriver end is too short, and jabs into the base of my palm. Tried reversing, but it feels awkward because of the curved handle. Good for light duty. I wouldn't use it to bust off a frozen nut, though.
Only Leatherman I have so can't compare with anything else. Got it when it was $45. No sheath included, "removable" clip requires a Torx #8 bit that's not included. Serrated part of blade is not easy to sharpen. No scissors, pliers are not spring loaded. Other than that, well built, feels solid but not too heavy.
Love, love, love this tool. I have large hands, but it seems to fit me well. It does not have the number of tools others have, but it has what you really need and it's lighter in my pocket than my 13-year-old PST. I'm thrilled with it, as long as I don't lose the extra bit...
I love my Skeletool CX. One cool and light weight multitool with just the tools you need and use most often.
This is typically about $20 more than the non-CX version, but certainly worth it. At $52 is is only about a $10 difference.
CX advantages over the non-CX are a better grade steel in the blade, cool looking carbon fiber instead of steel handle, and serrations on the blade.
Skeletool advantages over other multitools is the ability to open/close the blade with one hand, and the light weight.
The flaw in this knife is the screwdriver bit retention system. It is too easy for the bit to pop out.
