So being  a more recent recipient of a Blast, a few observations.. I am unsure how I feel about the Blast seeming unnecessarily thick. The Zytel seems to add to the thickness, while the wide footprint of the Phillips screw driver definitely seems to require more width than, say, a PST 2 or an original Super Tool Phillips head screw driver. The style I swear take up space and as a result, there is also no taper to the box of the tool where it connects to the plyer head.

I am sure that I do appreciate it's longer reach of almost every tool a  compared with the PST 2, and certainly compared to most Leathermans out there. It seems robust, yet also seems light.

Anyone have issues with the bead blasted finish taking on surface rust more than the old-school polished tools?

It certainly packs a lot of tools in one package. I can't comment on the BB finish as I only have a BO verson but I've not had any corrosion problems on my Rebar so far.

I have had mine for around 9 years and I haven't really ever had a problem with rust :think: The head of my ST300 and Rebar have had a bit of slight surface rust over the years that have been taken care of periodically but I dopn't think the Blast or it's Zytel kin have ever given me any rust problems :salute: It originally beat out the Wave for me when I was trying to replace my PST (the Wave was bought not long after :whistle: ) and the only different tool that the Wave had over the Blast was the SE blade :tu: When these came out they really didn't go over well because of the boxy frame and Zytel inserts but after they were retired people started taking note of them and started giving them there just reward but alas it was to late for this line :-\ I still do love the Blast and always feel prepared when I have it on my :cheers: :like:

Just traded for a blast with a fellow MTO member so I guess I can be part of this club now  :multi: After using it a bit I'm really liking it. Great tool set and interesting design with the nylon inserts in the handles and not to mention pretty darn lightweight. All in all I think my blast will be a keeper!
