Leatherman | Skeletool 7-in-1 Multi-Tool with 420HC Combo Blade | Stainless Steel
The Leatherman 830921 is a seven-tool multi-tool with a 420HC stainless steel combo blade, finished in stainless steel. The plier head gives needlenose and regular pliers with hard-wire and standard wire cutters, alongside a large bit driver and a combined carabiner and bottle opener. The 830921 measures 100mm closed, weighs 142g and takes a 66mm blade.
Most jobs that need a tool need it for about thirty seconds. The 830921 weighs 142g and clips to a pocket, which puts pliers and a blade within reach without opening a bag. Bits store in the handle, so the driver arrives with something to turn. The carabiner doubles as a bottle opener at the end of the day.
The blade on the 830921 is a combo grind: part plain edge, part serrated. The serrated section saws through cable ties, strapping and rope that would skate off a plain edge, while the plain section handles clean cuts on card and film. The blade locks when fully open and deploys from outside the closed tool, so it works like a pocket knife.
Features
- Seven tools — seven working tools fold into a single stainless steel frame.
- 420HC combo blade — the knife blade is 420HC stainless steel, ground as a combination of plain and serrated edge.
- Locking blade — the blade locks in place once fully deployed rather than folding under load.
- Needlenose and regular pliers — the plier head serves as both needlenose and regular pliers.
- Hard-wire cutters — a hard-wire section sits alongside the standard wire cutters in the plier jaws.
- Large bit driver — the driver accepts Leatherman flat bits for turning screws.
- Handle bit storage — bits are held in the handle of the 830921 so they travel with the tool.
- Carabiner and bottle opener — a single component serves as a carabiner and a bottle opener.
- Replaceable pocket clip — the removable clip carries the tool on a pocket or belt loop.
- Outside-accessible features — several tools deploy while the multi-tool is still closed.
- One-hand operation — every feature can be opened and worked with one hand.
- Fixed 100mm closed length — the 830921 is 100mm closed and 142g, so pocket space and carry weight are set.
Where to use
- Cable ties and strapping — the serrated part of the combo blade bites into banding that a plain edge slips off.
- Pocket carry without a pouch — the clip holds the tool on a pocket, leaving belt space for other gear.
- Quick screw work — the bit driver turns fixings on a service call without returning to the van.
- Working at height — one-hand operation leaves the other hand free for the ladder or rail.
- Carrying spare bits — handle storage keeps a small bit selection with the tool between jobs.
- Light plier work — the needlenose jaws reach into spaces that full-size pliers cannot.
The 830921 is a general-purpose hand tool with no insulation rating. Leatherman publishes no 1000V or VDE certification for the Skeletool, which places it outside any work on live conductors. It also will not replace full-size pliers on heavy cable, and Leatherman's guarantee excludes colour finishes, cleaning and sharpening.
