other then it being mint and probably worth a bit?

its very nice 

and throws another spanner in the works for you and bob

[DaveK]

No spanners.

We called it the "missing link" on Saturday. It must have been one of the last tools with those pliers to leave Oregon!

Cracking piece for a collection, and it's nice that Tony has cherished it all these years, as opposed it sticking it in a 240v socket

[ryan1835]

lol, i dread to think what my charge will look like in 28 years time, thats if its still recognizable

[DaveK]

Well quite!

[AHB]

That's an interesting PST allright..  I can't believe you didn't wrestle him for it Dave.. 

[DaveK]

You didn't see the size of the bloke Allan  



Guess which one is Tony

[ryan1835]

couldn't you have used one of john's magic potions to daze him?

[AHB]

Damn, he really is a big fella...   

[DaveK]

Indeed he is - so the PST was safe

Damn, he really is a big fella...   

If only you had said you liked it at the time Dave 

I've put a lot of things in socket's but never a leatherman 

Oi I'm not that bloody big, it was a trick of the light!

[DaveK]

Sad part is I was standing on Ben's toolbox

[sparky415]

I have just spat beer on my keyboard...

I'm Standing on Ruby, good dog. Stay! 

[David]

Reckon thats a nice one Sparky.

I think Mike is fondling Ben's toolbox  .


I reckon Leatherman had no qualms about mixing & matching new with old parts when assembling PST's .
Nice odd one Sparky

As you can see, it's unused as Tony received it as a gift from his parents in the late 80s. Consequently, it has no date codes (pre-1992)......



It has the "saber blade" and tools that are consistent with a late 80s PST, but has both cm and inches on the ruler - this would suggest a very late 80s model with the metric scale on there.



BUT - this PST has the original plier heads, without any TOOL or USA markings, as used on the early PSTs. I haven't seen this plier head on a tool that doesn't also have the drop point blade, old style awl etc. Has anyone else?

The fact that it is still with its original box too made me want to throw it in the back of the Landrover and clear off with it - but Tony's a big bloke

Discuss!

  Other than condition it looks pretty close to this one which you already own. Just not in your possession yet .
