Leatherman Skeletool Is Wicked Cool

Later this week Leatherman is coming out with a new, lighter, and radically redesigned tool called the Leatherman Skeletool CX. It's made of aluminum, Carbon-fiber, and stainless steel and coated with tungsten.

Like most Leatherman tools, it features pliers, wire cutters, straight/serrated blade, bottle opener, and a bit driver. The new design also incorporates an integrated carabiner and bit storage in the handle but only weighs five ounces! Leatherman claims it's the lightest full size multi-tool on the market.

A 42 Bit Assortment is also available and less expensive Stainless Steel and Aluminum version called the Leatherman Skeletool is also available.

These look very handy and I think it'll be a must have in every photographer's bag.
