Compare Leatherman Pocket Clip Style C and the Two-Screw Pocket Clip to see which replacement clip fits your Skeletool and carry style.
Quick answer
If you own a Skeletool KB or KBx, choose Pocket Clip Style C. For the standard Skeletool, Skeletool CX, or Skeletool RX, choose Pocket Clip Style B. The Two-Screw Pocket Clip is a universal replacement that includes two T6 screws and fits any Leatherman multi-tool that uses a two-screw mounting pattern.
How to identify your Skeletool model
Leatherman Skeletool models differ slightly in their clip mounting points. The KB and KBx versions use a specific clip shape, while the standard Skeletool, CX, and RX use another. Check the blade or handle for the model name; if you see 'KB' or 'KBx,' you need Style C. If you see just 'Skeletool,' 'CX,' or 'RX,' you need Style B. When in doubt, remove your existing clip and compare the screw hole spacing to the product images.
Style C vs Two-Screw: key differences
Pocket Clip Style C is a direct replacement for the Skeletool KB and KBx, designed to match the minimalist profile of those knives. It uses the existing mounting holes and does not include screws. The Two-Screw Pocket Clip is a more universal option that comes with two T6 screws, making it a complete kit for replacing a lost or stripped clip. It fits any Leatherman tool with a two-screw pattern, including many full-size multi-tools. Both clips are made from durable metal and offer secure pocket carry, but Style C is tailored for the KB/KBx while the Two-Screw is a broader solution.
Installation tips and tool requirements
To install either clip, you'll need a T6 Torx driver (for the Two-Screw clip) or the appropriate driver for your existing screws (for Style C). If you're replacing a clip on a KB or KBx, reuse the original screws unless they are damaged. The Two-Screw clip includes new screws, so you can replace worn hardware at the same time. Apply gentle pressure when tightening to avoid stripping the threads. For a step-by-step guide, see our article on replacing and tightening a Leatherman pocket clip.
Decision rules for choosing your pocket clip
- If you own a Skeletool KB or KBx: Choose Pocket Clip Style C. It is the exact replacement for these models and maintains the original look and fit. Verify your model name on the blade or handle.
- If you own a standard Skeletool, CX, or RX: Choose Pocket Clip Style B. It is specifically designed for these models and matches the tool's contours. Style B is not compatible with KB or KBx.
- If you have a different Leatherman multi-tool or want new screws: Choose the Two-Screw Pocket Clip. It includes two T6 screws and fits any Leatherman tool with a two-screw mounting pattern. Check your tool's mounting holes before ordering.
