    I got a similar one from Aldi a few years back for $8.

    Revoked my vote because apparently this "RX" Rescue version only has the serrated blade, which would be of less use on a daily basis. You're better off with a standard Skeletool which has a partial serrated blade, or the more expensive "CX" model which has the straight blade.

    The design of the Skeletool is excellent btw. Light-weight, change-able bits and comes standard with double-sided Philips and flat bits. I wish the pliers are spring-loaded though.

    • The serrated blade is for cutting seat belts and clothing.

        Hence "which would be of less use on a daily basis" as it is a "Rescue" version.

      I have one too, and it is the best multi-tool I have ever had by some way.
      The standard version is probably best for most people.

      • yeah this too is old as the hills

        there original steel one is fine but mine has some corossion on it (chinese steel eh) and they have one with carbon fibre handles and now this one

        its fairly ok for what it is

    Great tool and it hangs off my belt at work. Very useful gadget

  • Most people who are after a multi-tool would be better off with something like the Rebar:

    https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/LEATHERMAN-REBAR-STANDARD-STAINL…

    ($94.50AUD, plus you can get the extra 20% off from that seller at the moment).

    It is pretty much better that the Skeletool in every way (I've owned and used both).

    Skeletool- compact, has a pocket clip, can accept the Leatherman removal screwdriver bits
    Rebar- more tools, much better plier head, sturdy / stronger design, comes with a belt sheath, has both standard and serrated blades

    If you are buying this for someone (or yourself) and are basically after a 'jack of all trades' type multi-tool, the Rebar is the better choice by far. But if specifically want a really compact one that has a plier head and pocket clip, Skeletool might be ok.

    Also, as has already been mentioned if you are getting a Skeletool you are probably better off with a standard one anyway- they come with a combo blade that is part straight edge and part serrated (so, best of both worlds) whereas the full serrated blade on the RX isn't really practical for general usage.

  • The RX isn't a deal, but thanks OP, picked up a CX version for $102 to replace mine that was confiscated by security at KL airport 3 years ago.
