Compare the Leatherman OPNR and Pocket Clip Style B to decide which carry accessory suits your multi-tool setup best.
Quick answer
Choose the Pocket Clip Style B for secure pocket carry on your Skeletool, or the Two-Screw Lanyard Ring for versatile attachment to a lanyard, keychain, or carabiner.
Why your carry style matters
Your multi-tool is only useful if you have it when you need it. The way you carry it affects accessibility, security, and bulk. These two accessories solve different problems: one keeps your tool clipped to a pocket, the other lets you tether it to a bag or belt loop.
Pocket Clip Style B: purpose-built for Skeletool
This replacement clip is designed specifically for the Skeletool, Skeletool CX, and Skeletool RX. Its lightweight look matches the tool's aesthetic and keeps it precisely where you want it in a pocket. If you carry your Skeletool in a jeans or cargo pocket, this clip offers a secure, low-profile solution. The trade-off is that it only works with those three models and doesn't add any lanyard attachment point.
Two-Screw Lanyard Ring: universal flexibility
The Two-Screw Lanyard Ring attaches with two T6 screws for a solid fit. It lets you secure your multi-tool to a carabiner, keychain, or lanyard without adding bulk. This accessory works across many Leatherman models, not just the Skeletool line. The downside is that it doesn't provide a pocket clip, so you'll need another method for pocket-only carry.
Trade-offs at a glance
- Pocket Clip Style B: Designed exclusively for Skeletool models. Provides secure pocket retention with a slim profile. No lanyard or keychain attachment.
- Two-Screw Lanyard Ring: Universal fit across many Leatherman tools. Enables lanyard, keychain, or carabiner carry. Adds no pocket-clip functionality.
- Decision point: If you pocket-carry a Skeletool, the clip is the straightforward choice. If you need to tether your tool to a pack or belt loop, the lanyard ring wins. Check your tool model before buying. The clip only fits Skeletool variants.
