This multi-tool is larger than the Skeletool CX, but the additional tools-especially the whistle, fire-starter rod, and blade sharpener-are so nicely integrated into the design that it’s surprising how little bulk they add. In addition to the knife, pliers, bottle opener, and screwdriver, there’s a whistle, fire-starter rod, knife sharpener, saw, and awl. Where the Signal differs is in the added emphasis on outdoor-oriented tools. At its core, the Signal shares many characteristics with the Skeletool CX: a stripped-down tool selection, the asymmetrical handles, and the carabiner-clip bottle-opener feature. If you’re someone who spends a lot of time outside, or if you simply want to up your emergency-preparedness game, we also like the Leatherman Signal. Although it has more weight to it, we never found it unwieldy or awkward to carry.Ĭlosed dimensions: 4 by 1½ by ⅝ inches Weight: 7½ ounces Blade length: 2⅝ inches Tools included: needle-nose pliers, wire cutter, electrical crimper, wire stripper, knife, scissors, package opener, awl, can opener, bottle opener, wood/metal file, Phillips screwdriver, medium flat screwdriver, small flat screwdriver, extra-small flat screwdriver, pry tool, ruler

The Free P2 is over 2½ ounces heavier than the Skeletool CX, but it has a slender, streamlined design and comes with a pocket clip. After we tested the Free P2 for several weeks, other full-size multi-tools, such as the classic Leatherman Wave+, started to feel clunky and laborious to open. You can even deploy the pliers one-handed, with just a flip of the wrist. With its handles closed, you can access and open all of the tools with a single hand, a unique feature in the world of multi-tools.

The Free P2, released in 2019, is an entirely new design for Leatherman. If you are seeking a larger multi-tool, yet one that is extremely easy to use, we recommend the Leatherman Free P2. But this model is so sturdily built, we’d be surprised if you needed to use the warranty other Leathermans we’ve owned and used for over a decade have held up perfectly.Ĭlosed dimensions: 4⅛ by 1¼ by ½ inches Weight: 5.2 ounces Blade length: 2⅝ inches Tools included: needle-nose pliers, wire cutter, bottle opener, Phillips screwdriver (2), flat screwdriver (2), carabiner clip And the Skeletool is backed by a 25-year warranty. This multi-tool’s two Phillips and two flathead screwdrivers capably handle the most common screws. The CX’s pliers unfold easily, have the precision to pull a small splinter, and are comfortable to hold, thanks to the asymmetric handle. It can also clip onto a belt or backpack with either a pocket clip or a carabiner (which can double as an easy-access bottle opener). Other multi-tools are so bulky that they need to be carried in a belt sheath, but the lighter 1, slimmer Skeletool fits comfortably in a pocket.

And its high-quality, 154CM blade steel holds an edge longer than most multi-tool blades. Its knife deploys and locks smoothly with one hand-without your having to first open up the pliers. Of all the multi-tools we tried, the Skeletool CX is the one we kept reaching for long after testing concluded, and it’s the one we still carry daily, three years later.
