Five Ounces of Fury
7Tools In One
At a mere five ounces, the full-size Leatherman Skeletool has a stainless steel blade, pliers, bit driver, removable pocket clip and carabiner/bottle opener. The Skeletool is just what you need, and not an ounce more. For the pack you're bringing in, or the hydration pack you're peddling, the Skeletool is all function (and none of the fluff) in one good lookin' package.
