Skeletool CX Obsessed

I ordered my Skeletool CX back on March 17, 2009 and loved it from day one, plus I have been a Leatherman collector for probably 20 years, but now all I have is this one. Well I had it up until a few nights ago when I tried using it to work on my wife’s exercise machine and cracked the pliers (and my hand), so it is now in route to Portland to be repaired or replaced. I can't wait to get it back because it comes in handy both at work and home.

I have owned the Crunch and several other models and two of them I lost in Hurricane Katrina because I always kept them in my truck, which drowned in the murky waters. When I get my best tool friend back I will carry it with me always and every day. Thanks for continuing to invent such great and user friendly tools.

Tell Us Your Tale

OK, you voyeur, you. Enough of reading other people's stories. It's time you told your own tale of gripping heroism or even just neat DIY'ism. We know there's a Shakespeare in you somewhere. Don't make us use the Steens to find it.
