As my husband says, "EVERY guy's gotta get one of these! Where was this when I was doing all those projects for so many years. I LOVE it!"

I have been watching ads for this product for the last 3 Christmas's and finally got one for myself. It is great and works good with old fingers like mine.

Great Tool, I Bought 6 of These
The CX model is a great tool, more handy than most and I like it a little better than my Wave. Everyone on my Christmas list got one, myself included, each has been used bunches all ready (I changed an outlet at my mother in-laws yesterday).
This tool comes with a 154CM blade (has a great edge so be careful). The blade shape is excellent, it has a good utility edge on it. I purchased the combination serrated and straight blade because of the metal, finish, and shape. Although I usually sharpen my own knives right out of the box I do not expect to need to sharpen this one for quite some time.
The only trade off is the screwdriver bits although interchangeable do not lock into the handle as well as I would like. Much like sockets on a simple ratchet the bits can pull out of the handle rather than the good ratchet where you have to push the release to get them off. As long as this tool doesn't do any hard time knocking around my tool bag I won't worry about it.
This is a great first multi-tool. If you like it then go up to the next level where you have to put it on your belt. This one is very comfy in the pocket and has replaced my Benchmade 705 as the every day carry.

Everything I need packed into a tiny, yet sturdy and well built tool.
Alright, so before I purchased this multi-tool, a lot of the reviews mentioned the carbon fiber being there for fashion and nothing else. I found that that is absolutely incorrect. The carbon fiber scale doesn't really minimize the weight, but it makes the grip much more comfortable when holding the carbon fiber side in the palm of you hand while doing some heavy duty plier gripping. They also mentioned that it was just trim, but in fact, there's a fat piece of carbon fiber being in the HAND SCALE! Say for instance how some knives have wooden scales (or what look like handles), but the main components are steel. They are just placed there for both the way tool or knife looks, but also the comfort and gripping.

Another complaint that I recently saw a video review about mentioned how the bit driver grinds into the palm of your hand, that's not much of a problem, even for my big hands, the mutli tool was made to hold the knife from the carbon fiber side! So, its actually quite comfortable in your hand.

I must admit though, the knife is smaller than I expected it to be in proportion with the tool, but alas, it's still a good size. The blade is really sharp and quality made, I'd say up in the league with Benchmade and Emerson. Although the carbon fiber serves no purpose while holding it in the knife function, the handle is still incredibly comfortable and stable to handle. The bit driver finally has a quick release locking mechanism which prevents play when the bits are in use. On my Charge XTi, it wasn't really practical to use for high torquing on my bikes Allen bolts. But the Skeletool CX is much stronger and can handle getting all your bike equipment securely screwed down. The bottle opener is amazing, I used to use a lighter to open a bottle of beer before I broke my arm, but for the time being, I'll have a nice bottle opener with me at all times.

Lastly, the whole plier mechanism. What a lot of reviewers mentioned the needle nose pliers having the ability to use them as tweezers is very true. This the first day of having my Skeletool, and my father already used it to remove a sliver in his finger. The needle nose is still slim enough (and better reinforced) to get into the tight areas where needle nose is applicable. The regular pliers seem just right, I haven't gotten a chance to use them yet, but they look like they'll be able to tackle most jobs you'd need them for. Then there's the wire cutters... Something no one has really mentioned in any review yet, and I have to say they work much better than on my Charge. I was able to cleanly cut and bend a paper clip with the hard wire cutter and cleanly cut a hollow q-tip with the soft wire cutter. The Charge always messed the cuts up >_>.

All in all, this is a great all around tool. It's for that minimal survivalist utilitarian in all of us. Its ultra light, it has only the tools that you'd actually use on a regular basis, and if you use your imagination it can fulfill many other applications. It's great for survival, every-day occurrences, a light tool for your bike (if your hubs and many other parts on your bike use Allen keys), and if it's the only knife you carry around for protection, it can still save your life in hand to hand combat. One more thing I'd like to address from a past review, someone was complaining that it's way too heavy for a hike or camping. This thing is barely noticeable and if anything, as I keep saying throughout this review, has the bear essentials.

Excellent Level
Other reviews here saying the level isn't accurate or otherwise doesn't work correctly are wrong. They may have perhaps had a defective unit or a unit that otherwise would not have normally passed QA and slipped through. In this case my suggestion would be to return the unit.

It does work as advertised.

If your wall or surface is not flat then it will not work because the far side (the side opposite of the one you are holding) will not make contact.

To use this level you simply apply slight pressure on one end and this is enough to prevent it from moving on either side.

I never thought I needed to own a level until this one was designed. I think its brilliant. There are so many overlooked annoyances in life, and this product effectively and forever kills one of them (hanging up a frame with fixed position hooks by yourself).

I think its brilliant because its very simple.

Lowe's has this advertised and is selling this for $19.99.

awesome features - iffy vials
this thing has great features (love the movable targets) but I wonder how reliable and exact the vials are.

Rockin Jawhorse
Very sturdy, easy to set up. Has excellent grip with rubber pads that don't mark your material.

Excellent tool
The Jawhorse is a superb tool that is easy to use. The lock and unlock process on the jaws is excellent and simple. Changing the Jaws from small to large is simple and extremely easy.

Storing the Jawhorse is simplicity itself.

The one negative is the height of the jawhorse. For those over 6' it is a little short which results in back strain if work continues for long periods.

Overall, I highly recommend this tool. It is compact and easy to store, yet durable and easy to use.

Space Saver
I like the slim design and also the widely spaced sockets for those bulky power adapters.

My old surge protector had the sockets so close to each other that when I used a wide plug, I end up wasting a socket or two.

Great Value
Belkin has always made a great product, combine that with the great prices at Amazon, and you have a combination that can't be beat.

SHOULD BE MARKETED AS A CHILD'S TOY
Bought yesterday--returned today! Light, 1-1/2 inch snowfall totally baffled this so-called snow thrower. Snow just spun around, accumulating in the impeller, and never made it to the chute. Even my trick of spraying vegetable oil on the impeller and chute didn't help. My 12" Snow Fox purchased on Amazon three winters ago beats the pants off of this modified tin can. I may be losing 6" on the swath, but it's a good trade-off for retaining my sanity. Note to the people who posted positive reviews: are you sure it was snow that you were throwing?

Torro 1800 18" electric snow blower
This is by far the best purchase that I have bought in a long time!
All my neighbors are trying to get there gas powered units started and i'm just whizing the snow from my sidewalks and driveway.
I'ts hard to beleive that this unit will throw snow 30' but beleive me it
does. I would defenetly without question buy this unit very easy to use!
And Amazon to purchase as well.

We like the filtered water!
We've been using the Brita pitcher and filters for six or eight months, and they work very well. It's nice to have really clean-tasting water, and have ice-cold water in the summertime. (I even use the cold water to make hot tea or coffee because it tastes so much better.) I replace the filters when the indicator on top says to do so, about every 2 months. and they're easy to change. I often see some of the little black carbon specks in the top part of the pitcher as I refill the water, but the lower, filtered section is always clean and clear. This has been much less expensive than buying bottled water.

Good System
I love my Brita water pitcher and therefore, couldn't live without the filters! I find that my water tastes so much better after being filtered. Also, since my husband I and are the only ones using it and we aren't home much, I find that the filters last much longer than the suggested replacement period.
