A Fave: Skeletool CX

One gift I received for Christmas has already gotten a ton of use: the Leatherman Skeletool CX.

It’s very light, has a wonderful little knife, and a wire cutter built into the pliers. The best part for me though is the integrated storage for the screwdriver bits; in my previous Leathermans, I always ended up losing the bit sleeve that was supposed to go in the case and never had any bits other than what I last stored on the thing. With the new integrated bit storage, I’ve got everything I need in one handy little device.

KitchenAid Pro 600 Mixer for $290

kitchenaid-600-red

Amazon is running a great sale on the KitchenAid Professional 600 Series 6-Quart Stand Mixers for today only. It appears only certain colors are included in the sale: Nickel Pearl, Empire Red, Licorice & Meringue; choose carefully.

Update: The sale is over, but there’s often a substantial price break on certain colors. Check with Amazon to see the various options. The little preview you get when hovering on links here lists the price as $499, but that’s just retail. It’s usually much less.

We love our now-discontinued KitchenAid mixer (the old Williams-Sonoma model just above the current Artisan), but sometimes a bit more power and a bit bigger bowl would be nice…
