Leatherman | Skeletool CX 7-in-1 Multi-Tool with 154CM Knife Blade | Sandstorm
The Leatherman 833548 is a full-size seven-tool multi-tool with a 154CM stainless steel knife blade, finished in Sandstorm. It carries needlenose and regular pliers, hard-wire cutters, wire cutters, a large bit driver and a combined carabiner and bottle opener. The 833548 measures 100mm closed, weighs 142g and takes a 66mm blade.
A full tool bag is not always on hand when a fitting needs a quick cut or a screw needs turning. The 833548 clips to a pocket at 142g, so it rides all day without a belt pouch. Handle bit storage keeps driver bits in the tool rather than loose in a pouch. The bit driver takes the flat bits used across the range.
The Skeletool CX is built around getting one tool open with one hand while the other hand holds the work. Outside-accessible features open with the tool still folded, so the blade comes out like a pocket knife. Every feature is one-hand operable, which matters up a ladder or in a ceiling space. The replaceable pocket clip carries the tool on a pocket or belt loop.

Where to use
- Pocket carry on the job — the pocket clip holds the 833548 without a pouch taking up belt space.
- Cutting and stripping small work — the wire cutters handle light cutting where a full plier set is not at hand.
- Screw work away from the van — the bit driver turns screws on a service call without walking back for a driver.
- Ladder and ceiling-space work — one-hand operation frees the other hand for the ladder or the frame.
- Opening cartons and packaging — the locking knife blade cuts strapping and cartons on a delivery.
- Carrying spare bits — handle storage keeps a small bit selection with the tool itself.
The Leatherman 833548 is a general-purpose hand tool, not insulated hand tools. Leatherman publishes no insulation or 1000V rating for the Skeletool CX, so it must not be used on live conductors. It is also not a replacement for full-size pliers on heavy cable, and the 25-year guarantee does not cover the colour finish.
