My new baby.

Super light. Nice cutter. Safety glass punch.

Be careful with the pliers. Don’t twist the jaws at all or they’ll break. Mine lost to a 3D printed plastic part and I was honestly surprised how fragile they are.
- I am fairly certain that's a manufacturing defect, seems like a flaw in either the metallurgy or the tempering process, did you send it back to Leatherman and let them know? They have a pretty generous warranty.
  
  Yes, they replaced them no questions asked but I did have to pay for shipping it to them.
  From what Ive seen they break left and right, the steel is rather thin with that logo emboss and the crack surface was without any ductile deformation so it is quite brittle too. It’s a shame because I really like the design and the fact that it doesn’t try to be an entire toolbox. Just pliers, a knife and a screwdriver. I guess it’s just not very good pliers, knife and a screwdriver.
- Ty 4 the heads up.
Did you know leatherman has a screwdriver bit kit that you can use with that and some of their other tools?
- I have that. It works surprizing well. The bits don't always stay in the tool, but I consider it a good tradeoff for being able to carry 36 bits in such a small package.
- And if you loose one bit you can’t get it separately.
where is the safety glass punch on skeletool?
- It looks like the "screwdriver bit" is actually a punch. I've not seen that before.
  
  you're right, it seems to be the bit
Have the topo version. It's pretty awesome. Not as inconspicuous as my small swiss army knife for carrying casually but has more useful tools
- Aaaaand it’s gone.
I still have my original Skeletool. Now I wish it came in red back then.
- paint on tools is always a problem, original skeletool is beautiful
  
  Problem? Ive had the red skeletool as my only edc for over 10 years, it still looks great. I consider the worn paint on most of the exposed corners and such the same as i would a patina or whatever.
- Nice. My first.
