 :D I don't believe that I have done 1 of these yet with the PST :ahhh so I guess it's a good a time as any ;)

The PST started it all and is a great MT :cheers: It was my 1st full sized MT and is a great all around tool

Anybody else have 1 ::) (like I don't know who you are :pok: :D ) If you have love for this tool let's here about it :tu:

I have a couple  :P (Hundred :pok: :D)

I have a last model PST & a Riveted one(one of my most valued tools) . Dave is right the PST has a classical look/style, but like a classic car, better to look at than drive IMHO .

 I have one, which has been back to the MotherLand 3 times: Broke the small screwdriver, broke off the blade and torqued out the pliers head.  The last time they sent me a replacement tool, it's got the newer style phillips driver (a marked improvement IMO).

It has been my EDC on the farm from 1993 until 2008 when I got the Skeletool.

I guess that the PST is just 1 of the best and easiest (hardest in some aspects ::) ) MT to collect

You can have 2 or 3 and all be different or you can have ( :think: how many variations to date Dave? :D ) like 20 variations and still not have them all possibly :o

I think that if a person wanted to collect PSTs it would be easy to amass 100 of them and have more or less a cheap collection if they watched Ebay and such places :tu:

I think you are right Ponch most Riveted PST's seem to go for between $20-$40us(?when prices will go up) , very reasonable. Now the Gold plated 10th anniversary ones are a different story  :D

I've never had one. I once was going to buy one because it was on sale at a local hardware store but by the time I had saved up enough money someone had already purchased it.  :cry:

Lots of good stuff there. I`ve been training two other people on what to look for while they are out prowlin around with the info in that thread. One of them spotted a PST with Pocket Survival Tool on the side in very good condition but didnt get it for me as he thought it was priced to high. When he told me the price I said I would have paid that for it. Next time please call me when you spot one. The hunt is always interesting.   :)

I have only one and it's black from 1995.  I have been carrying it quite a bit 'cause it's nice 'n light and has a nice compliment of tools for my use.

Careful Dave I bought one of those & the actual item was not the one in the photo  >:(, apparently there were a number of sellers using the one photo of the ultra rare PST (POCKET SURVIVAL TOOL) to sell run of the mill PST's

I've got several. It's hard to top the original. Newer tools are more sophisticated, but nothing beats the original for all around functionality / weight / simplicity / pocketability / value. :multi:
In order to be certain of having the right tool for every job.........one must first acquire a lot of tools

I have 2, one riveted and one that I have changed the plier head on and fitted a pocket clip.  I'd ideally like to get another one day that has the knurled screws and that isn't modded, but there are many other things on the list before that happens.
I'm back!!

I quite agree.  :)  When mine arrived in trade a month or so ago I had believe it or not ever seen one before other than in pictures.  I was very surprised at how small/compact it was.  I thought man this is about the size of my sog pocket powerplier which is what I usually edc.  Funny but I just bought a Leathy ALX and have yet to carry it.  Don't know why just haven't warmed up to it yet.

I have one PST, the one I recently got on Ebay for $12.  I just like having it but I can't see me every EDC'ing it.  I have to have one hand opening and locking blades.  I'll stick with my Charge TTi which recently replaced my trusty New Wave as my EDC.

Even if small tool size were of utmost importance I would still have to carry something with locking blades and tools.

I every day carried a PST back in the 90's for the whole decade and I mangled myself several time when the phillips driver folded up on me during hard use.
The PST is an awesome tool and served as an inspiration for most other multi's but now it's just a museum piece for me.
