Rated 5 out of 5Â by RockyMountain Keep it simple
Have been collecting and using leathermans for 2 decades. I own close to 20, but his is the model I carry and use the most. It's pliers and a knife, that's it. But those constitute 90% of my usage with any multitool.
The blade is easy and quick one handed open and close. It's also locking. Not for heavy chores, but no folder is. The pliers are fairly sturdy given the size. Great for taking out fish hooks or picking up hot cans off the fire.
Aside from the now retired mini-tool, it's the sturdiest leatherman in a smaller EDC size. The Juice models have more functions but aren't as strong.
Leatherman has fantastic warranty service, though it's unlikely you'll ever need it.

For having a thumb stud the blade on this tool is quite hard to open. The pliers are almost too small to be practical for tightening anything. Further, the pliers are not real needlenose. They are a little too blunt for small spaces. Workmanship on this unit left me feeling that he whole tool was a little bit overtightened at the factory because I still find it difficult to open. And for only having 4 tools on this Leatherman the price is a little high for the limited function you are getting.

There is a sheath made for this model. Sometimes it's sold with the sheath, sometimes without. Read the product description on the website and it should say. Should also mention the tool itself does have a pocket clip if you want to carry it that way.

What's the difference between the Freestyle CX Leatherman and the Freestyle Multi-tool that makes a $20 difference?
Answers
A:Â
The CX blade is a made from a little better steel and the edge is plain where as the edge on the standard freestyle is has a serrated portion.
A:Â
The biggest reason for the $20 difference is that you get a better knife--the metal on the Freestyle CX knife is 154CM (better edge retention and corrosion resistance) compared to the 420HC on the regular Freestyle. That's worth the $20 right there.The CX also has a fine edge which, for me, is preferable over serrated for a blade under 3" like this.
Also, the CX has "DLC-coated Stainless Steel Handles with a Carbon-fiber Handle Insert" which makes it a little bit lighter and makes the frame more scratch and corrosion resistant. That's not really a big deal to me, although It does look quite a bit better if you're into the visual aesthetics of the tool. I mainly prefer the CX for having the better knife.
