Leatherman - Skeletool® Multi-Tool – Iconic 7-in-1 Ultra-Lightweight 5 oz Daily Carry with Handle Bit Storage

The Leatherman Skeletool® is a masterclass in stripped-back, high-efficiency design, packing only the most vital, everyday necessities into one exceptionally good-looking, low-profile package. Tipping the scales at a mere 5 ounces, this compact multi-tool bridges the gap between a dedicated tactical pocket knife and a full-size utility platform without adding unnecessary bulk to your gear. Built around an ultra-lightweight, structurally optimized stainless steel frame, the Skeletool® features a versatile 420HC combo knife blade that can be deployed instantly with one hand, alongside heavy-duty pliers, an interchangeable large bit driver, and integrated handle bit storage. Complete with a dual-purpose carabiner/bottle opener and a removable pocket clip, it represents the definitive choice for those who demand maximum agility and premium performance in their daily carry setup.

Best For Everyday carry (EDC) minimalists, light-pack hikers, urban commuters, and DIYers who require a featherlight, highly portable multi-tool focused exclusively on the most frequently used daily implements.

Key Features

• Featherlight 5 oz Skeletal Frame: Geometrically sculpted with weight-saving cutouts throughout its high-tensile stainless steel chassis, ensuring maximum structural integrity while remaining virtually unnoticeable in your pocket or on your belt loop.

• 420HC Locking Combo Blade: Outfitted with a precision-ground, partially serrated combo blade that handles both clean slicing and tough, fibrous materials like rope or webbing with ease, locking securely in place upon full deployment for total user safety.

• Onboard Handle Bit Storage: Features a clever, integrated storage slot directly within the handle frame, allowing you to carry extra Leatherman tool bits securely so you can switch fastening profiles mid-job without carrying a separate kit.

• One-Handed Outside Accessibility: The primary combo knife is positioned on the exterior of the closed chassis, enabling smooth, fast, one-handed deployment without requiring you to open the entire plier framework.

• Multi-Functional Carabiner & Bottle Opener: Engineered with a heavy-duty spring carabiner gate at the base for securing the tool instantly to backpacks, gear loops, or technical clothing, doubling as a high-leverage bottle opener when the workday is done.

The 7-Tool Minimalist Arsenal

Pro Tip & Skeletool® Maintenance: The skeletonized architecture of the Skeletool® is fantastic for cutting down weight, but it means the open channels can collect pocket lint, sawdust, or field grime over time. To ensure optimal performance, periodically blow out the frame cutouts and bit storage bay with compressed air, and apply a single drop of light pivot oil to the blade and plier hinges to keep the action buttery-smooth. When inserting bits into the large bit driver or handle storage, ensure they click firmly into place against the retention springs to prevent accidental loss while moving through rough terrain!

Oversized Item Delivery Options

Oversized, heavy, and structural goods ship via specialist freight. Freight is calculated at checkout from estimated packaged volumetric or physical weight. Carrier depot audits may adjust the rate — if the increase exceeds 10%, we will contact you before processing.

Available options include:

✔ Delivery to your closest depot for pickup — default method
✔ Direct delivery — requires an operational forklift on site unless Tailgate Delivery has been specifically requested and quoted (contact us — this cannot be selected at checkout)
✔ Tailgate hydraulic lift delivery — must be specifically requested; contact us for a quote (not available as a checkout option; extra fees apply; required if you do not have a forklift)
✔ Forklift loading at our warehouse (no extra charge if you arrange your own freight)
✔ Direct truck delivery (available in Victoria)

Important Notes:

• Shipping costs vary by location and method
• Any carton or consignment over 25–30kg (or over 200cm) must be palletised
• Without a specifically requested and paid Tailgate Delivery quote, palletised freight requires a forklift on site — otherwise the carrier will redirect to the nearest depot
• Bulky and oversized items cannot be delivered to a PO Box — provide a physical street address
• Failed deliveries, locked gates, unattended sites, or incorrect business/forklift declarations may incur carrier redelivery, demurrage, and restocking fees as set out in our Terms & Conditions

Business Delivery:

• Selecting a business/commercial delivery rate warrants that the address has an operational forklift and certified operator during business hours
• If the carrier cannot unload, the consignment may be redirected to a depot and secondary fees may apply
• Additional fees may apply for failed delivery attempts due to lack of appropriate unloading equipment

See our Terms & Conditions (Article 8) for full freight and delivery rules.

Important Note on Availability & Shipping

Our warehouse is a logistics hub, not a retail showroom. Listing a product online does not mean it is stored at our Thomastown warehouse — many lines ship from supplier hubs (split fulfilment may apply).

How lead times work:

• Product page ETA: The Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) / lead-time badge shown on the product page at checkout is the agreed delivery timeframe for that order under Australian Consumer Law.
• Metro baselines: Advertised ETAs apply to standard metropolitan zones. Regional and remote addresses may take longer and may attract surcharges.
• Peak seasons: Orders in March–May, August–October, EOFY (June), Black Friday/Cyber Monday (November), and Christmas/New Year (December–January) may automatically add a 2–4 week buffer beyond the product page ETA.
• Supplier-dependent / backordered items: If stock is delayed, we will notify you with a revised ETA. You then have 7 days to accept the new timeframe or cancel for a full refund.
• Adloheat: Custom-made products from Adloheat (Pakenham, VIC) may take 4–12 weeks depending on the order.

Full fulfilment, cancellation, and freight rules are in our Terms & Conditions.

Biosecurity & Interstate Shipping Restrictions

Due to strict state biosecurity regulations, we are unable to ship some products to certain states and territories:

• Potting Mixes cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA), the Northern Territory (NT), or Tasmania (TAS).
• Seeds cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA).

Orders placed for these items to restricted states will be cancelled and refunded. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that the items being ordered can lawfully be delivered to their state or territory.
