I had written this chart up in another thread, but here it is stickyfied so it is a little easier to find for those who are interested.Below is a chart showing when each of Leathermans tools were first released and when they were discontinued. I have not included any special runs such as anniversary releases.PST - 1983-2004MiniTool - 1986-2004Original Supertool - 1994-2001PST II - 1996-2004Micra - 1996-PresentOriginal Wave - 1998-2004Sideclip - 1998-2004Flair - 1999-2004Crunch - 1999-PresentPulse - 2000-2004Supertool 200 - 2001-2005Juice Kf4 - 2001-2005Juice C2 - 2001-PresentJuice S2 - 2001-PresentJuice Cs4 - 2001-PresentJuice Xe6 - 2001-PresentJuice Pro - 2002-2003Squirt P4 - 2002-2010Squirt S4 - 2002-2010Juice SC2 - 2003-2005Squirt E4 - 2003-2010New Wave - 2004-PresentCharge Ti & Xti - 2004-2007Kick - 2004-2011Fuse(knife) - 2004-2011Blast - 2004-2011Core - 2005-2009Surge - 2005-PresentFuse(knifeless) - 2006-2011Hybrid - 2006-2010Vista - 2006-2010Charge AL, ALX & TTi - 2007-PresentSkeletool - 2008-PresentSkeletool CX - 2008-PresentGenus - 2007-2010Freestyle - 2009-PresentFreestyle CX - 2009-2011Super Tool 300 - 2009-PresentSuper Tool 300 EOD - 2010-PresentMUT - 2010-PresentStyle - 2010-PresentStyle CS - 2010-PresentSquirt ES4 - 2010-PresentSquirt PS4 - 2010-PresentSidekick - 2011-PresentWingman - 2011-PresentStyle PS - 2011-PresentRebar - 2012-PresentOHT - 2012-PresentSkeletool SX - 2013-PresentRaptor - 2013-PresentNew Surge - 2013-PresentJuice SX - 2014-Present
Is the Juice SX actually out yet? I've only seen promo shots. Also might be good to correct the Skeletool and Skeletool CX to 2008.
Wasn't the Freestyle CX retired in 2012? Also, the Genus should've moved up two spots.

Ah, probably it took awhile for the old stock to sell out.
I'm sure I've seen it here before, but cannot at this time. When did Leatherman start date stamping their handles? Mine is not stamped at all, so I'll assume it's in that time frame? Right?

My new BO Blast is dated 1212 / 1212 everything I have seen shows production ended in 2011. just sharing the info
Interesting indeed. Leatherman moved the Kick, Fuse, and Blast into the "Retired Products" section of their website in late 2011, so that is what we based their retirement date on in this timeline. However, given the 1212 dates on Detron's handles, it is clear they were still producing tools throughout the entire year of 2012. Hmm, perhaps they were still fulfilling orders, even though the tools themselves were no longer listed as "current" on their website? In any case, I have updated the Timeline in the first post of this thread based on this new info. Thanks Detron!
