[Dr. Bahn]

I especially dig the BO ST200. Nice pics everybody! 

[Mr Biriyani]

I would love to have one of those.

[David]

Oh those BO CC ST200 dont pop up every day. Nice ones!

[Aloha]

I just received my SS CC ST200 and she is a beauty.  It looks to be very lightly used and super clean. Here it is with some friends.   

[bdAmmo]

Nice collection of Super Tool 200s Aloha. I really like that BO one you have as well as the SS CC.

[Aloha]

My first Black Oxide Leatherman I got was this Super Tool 200 back in 2005. Stamped 0204/0304.

[zigliss]

Had this fella for quite a while. I do like the retro leatherman case....

Nice bunch of ST200s! A7

The ST200 is my favorite large multi, and I now have 3 of them.  As I already mentioned in another thread, my "user" stainless ST200 in Ripoffs pouch went AWOL in May of this year and I really missed it.  I bought a "like new" one off ebay for a really good price, and it arrived today.  I also bought a new Ripoffs pouch for it.  While waiting for shipment of the tool, I found my old one in the glove box of my brother's car, in the pouch.    I guess I can't complain too much since I now have it back...

My user has a 1001 date and "Leatherman Tool" on the plier head, the "like new" one from ebay (that appears to have never been used), also with a 1001 date but "Leatherman USA" on the plier head, and a like-new BO one that lives in my bug-out bag with a 0304 date.  I figure it may someday make a great SHTF tool.

Pictures are forthcoming.

Glad you found your lost ST200 Terry.

[NutSAK]

Glad you found your lost ST200 Terry.

  Thanks David!

I was blaming the clip-style Ripoffs sheath for a while, thinking that a branch may have "snatched" it off my belt while mowing around the woods on my property.  This has happened before when I've had flashlights or knives clipped to my jeans.  Therefore, the new Ripoffs I bought are the belt-loop type.  It turns out, of course, that the clip was not a concern at all.

I'm still working on those ST200 pics...

Any idea how it ended up in your brother's car?  Anyway, "all's well that ends well" as they say.

I accidentally left it in his truck after a canoe trip we did in May.  He saw it in there, thought it was his, and transferred it to his daily driver where I found it two weeks ago and took it back.

Funny...  I bet there's not a single person on this site who would mistake someone else's multi for theirs.  Especially in a case like this one, since my brother has never owned an ST200 or a Ripoffs pouch.  He actually said to me, "Yeah, I have so many of those things I guess I thought it was one of mine."

 

Needless to say, though he and I have some things in common, he does not share in my enthusiasm for (or use of) tools.  I've had that tool for about 5 years, and I can tell you exactly what MTO member I bought it from, and what I paid for it.  Likewise, I can tell you what used tool I bought with the Ripoffs pouch, what MTO member I bought it from, and what I paid for it.  I'll bet if you threw that ST200 in a pile of 10 naked ST200s, I could sort through the pile pretty quickly and tell you which one is mine.

Really nice shots of your ST200's Terry.

Sadly I do think there is a very real chance I could do the same.

I did receive my first ST 200 the day before yesterday.
It has gone through the first cleaning. Is tool clumping common? And the tools are really hard to get out atm. I think a disassembly and torough cleaning is in order - Will any parts explode in my face when I pull the pivots or will the locking mechanism stay in place?

Clumping is normal, but they shouldn't be really hard to get out.  Dissasembly shouldn't be a problem either.  There is one part of the mechanism held in by the pivot, and it should be as simple as any of the tools to remove/replace.  The other part (that you rotate with your thumb) is riveted in, so it will stay in the handle when you remove the tools.

In other words, no explosion.

Welcome aboard.

I'm in!

The ST200 is an awesome tool. I'm impressed. But the locks are really stiff any way of making them a little easier to unlock.

I dont know of any tricks to ease the tension of the locks. Remember the locks on the 200 can still be unlocked like the original SuperTool.
