This is my EDC from a $20 home Depot clearance 3 years ago. Would justify this price. Leatherman sells bit kits of various sizes to replace the stock ones if you work with particular fasteners.

Don't see any deals on this particular one in recent history that beat this price. But man, talk about inflation - the older deals from like 2 or 3 years ago had it down under $40. I'll probably take a pass.

I think I got this for $25 many years ago,
That said this is in my pocket every day for cutting packages, using the screwdrivers and occasional bottle cap, and just in case... Blade could be sharper but you could fix that.

I've had this for over 10 years and I think it's great. Lots of uses, simple, and well made. I always keep it in my car.

Anyone know what steel they use on the blade that is part of it?
edit: just looked it up, it is 154CM steel

Had one of these and lost it after a few years. Immediately replaced it with another at full price. No regrets.

Grabbed 5 of them when they were $12 on clearance. Best slickdeals find I ever had.

Costco is currently running a deal for a Leatherman Rev and a essentially a mini Skeletool for $54.99. Owning both the Skeletool and Rev myself, they're both great options. I will probably pass on this for the two pack as a stocking stuffer, but repped for a great multi tool

The CX is 154CM. This one is 420HC.

YMMV: Showing a 5% coupon on the Black version for me.

Bought this for $55 close to 8 years ago and it's in my pocket everyday, love it.

420HC is slight downgrade in my opinion. The average user will not be able to tell the difference I believe. 154CM steel holds a better edge IMO, but the difference very small. They probably changed steel due to cost to mass produce, but I cannot be certain.
Anyways, this tool is definitely well made and will last.
edit: this uses 420HC and the CX uses 154CM. thank you for the correction
