When it comes to outdoor travel tools, the more compact and concise, the better. Adventure travelers who spend days or weeks navigating forests and mountains have to rely on what’s in their backpack when they come across both unexpected obstacles and simple everyday tasks.

Leatherman sells a line of multi-use items ideal for such outdoor excursions. One of the most all-inclusive products is the Skeletool RX, a seven-in-one device that serves nearly as many functions as an entire tool kit.

Measuring only 4 inches when closed and weighing in at only 5 ounces, the Skeletool is equipped with the following seven tools: a combination carabiner/bottle opener, hardwire cutters, regular wire cutters, needle-nose pliers, regular pliers, a large bit driver and a serrated knife blade measuring 154 centimeters that locks into place.

Other Skeletool RX capabilities include a tool-bit storage space, a removable pocket clip and the ability to access any feature of the tool with only one hand, akin to the functionality of a pocket knife.

This Leatherman product is sold with a 25-year warranty, promising repair and/or replacement if needed. The Skeletool RX can be purchased on the Leatherman website for $84.95, plus shipping and handling.
