What's Your Favorite Thing About the PST?
« on: December 20, 2011, 02:52:01 AM »
One of my first knives I got was a PST that my uncle gave me when I was maybe 5 years old, and I've been carrying it ever since. The only reason I retired it is because the warranty is almost up. I still can't find a Leatherman that has the awesome compact size with the bomber amount of tools on it. So PST owners roger up... What do you love about it? Maybe Tim Leatherman will pay attention and make something that compares.

I suppose the FACT that it's the innovator of awesomeness!
That tool started a revolution in the world of EDC. It paved the way, while others could only imitate  :cheers:

The PST II was the better tool due to the right combo of tools. I still don't like how these old tools dig into the hands.

I guess I don't look back at the PST line with much nostalgia.  :think:  :D

If I had to select one, slim design would have to be it.

...  I still can't find a Leatherman that has the awesome compact size with the bomber amount of tools on it. ...

The pliers and individual tools are better sized than the Juice series while keeping the overall weight low and form factor thin.

My Favorite Thing About The PST is that I have the 12 different PSTs on the picture, (even found a few other since) and knowing there's still variations outthere to be found..   8) 8)

 


And of course that one of my all time favorite threads is about it too..

harsh. :D  As it happens I've got my PST 1.5 mod on me just now, it's the super slim feel that really does it for me.

Harsh, no - ambiguous yes  ;)

For the colector who has one, these will continue to decline in numbers pushing values up.
For the collector who doesn't, the chase is on
For those who don't like it - problem solved

... sorry, didn't have anything else positive to offer :-\

My PST was my first LM,I'd craved one for 4 or 5 years before I was able to get one(I was thankful to the rich smurf who couldnt fix his kids Hornby Railway,money from the job bought the LM).

Its been the only full size LM I've had and not found myself cursing the lack of a...well what ever I need but dont have!
There is no beginning,or ending,and for this we are thankful,cos now is hard enough to understand!
