There are many factors to take into account when looking at the ergonomics of one’s work environment. An ergonomic chair always fits in here somewhere. The fact that many of us spend a large portion of her days sitting, makes it very important that the chair give proper support and can be adjusted to our needs. Spending your life savings to buy a top-of-the-line ergonomic computer chair is not a requirement as long as you give a good ergonomic chair that can be adjusted to meet your body needs.

The Miller chair in the above video is an example of a top of the line ergonomic office chair ,and while it is nice it may not fit most people’s budget. Since the chair is a central feature of any workstation you should always buy the best that you can afford. Your desk and the way it relates to your chair and the positioning of your other tools would probably be the next thing to look at. Everything in the workplace often times revolves around the center which is the computer. From this we get the term computer ergonomics, which has become common today. Proper adjustment of your monitor’s position so that there is no undue strain on neck when working with it is important. If you position the keyboard so that your fingers are just about the and hanging comfortably, you will find this minimizes stress and the wrist and hands. The tools that you have at hand to do your job should be arranged in an orderly fashion so that they are easily within reach, so that you don’t have to stretch or strain in order to reach them. This serves two purposes. Minimizing the effects of strain due to having to stretch to reach improperly placed tool is the first benefit. And the second is the reduction of mental stress caused by not knowing where these tools are. Ignoring some of the key points of computer ergonomics can lead to a lifetime of minor physical problems and possibly the major ones. It is easy to ignore our posture and a workplace design without realizing it. We may not realize until much later the effects that this can have on us physically. Ergonomics usually escapes being identified as the cause of exhaustion at the end of the workday. You won’t feel stiff and uncomfortable at the end of the day if your workspace is ergonomically designed properly. Wouldn’t it be logical to put some attention on this?

Full review:

I love multi-tools. I had an original Leatherman tool back in the day, and used to carry a Leatherman Wave will me all the time until it was stolen. I’ve carried other brands from time to time, but I also end up going back to a Leatherman. When Leatherman sent me the Skeletool, I was a little hesitant about it. Honestly, I wasn’t overly fond of the styling, as I usually prefer the ergonomics of the “old school” multi-tool. I will admit however, that I like the curved handle and carbon fiber feel of the Skeletool.

Putting the “multi” in multi-tool:
So what does the Skeletool include as far as accessories? Pliers, a knife blade that locks open, bottle opener, and two sizes of standard and Philips screwdrivers. The screwdriver bits are interchangeable, and the one that is not in use is stored in the handle. The Skeletool doesn’t come with a nylon sheath, but it does have a carabiner style clip to attach it to your gear. The carabiner clip doubles as a bottle opener for emergencies.

There are a few optional accessories available from Leatherman’s website – you can add a “Bit Kit” which contains 42 additonal bits, or a bit driver extension.

Final thoughts:
The Skeletool CX is a nice piece of kit. While I was somewhat dubious about the design, I’ve grown to appreciate the light weight and carbon fiber look. I do have a minor concern; with the Wave, the screwdriver parts were permanently attached to the tool. I’m worried about the possibility of losing the bits over the long term, or the possibility of wear on the slot that holds the additional bit causing said bit to fall out.

Leatherman’s latest multi-tool is available at most major retailers and their website. MSRP is about $100, but I was able to find them for almost half that by shopping around a bit.
