I just voted BO because I guess it would be rarer, but you should buy both. :pok:

I'll forgive you because you are a newbie......but the officially approved MTo response in these circumstances is: "BUY BOTH ! and then go looking for something else" - we take our enabling responsibilities pretty seriously around here   :pok:   ;)

Seriously, buy the one you prefer.  Some people like the "tacti-cool" black look, others like the SS finish because it makes the tool easier to find.

Are these new? If so...talk about old stock.

Go for the BO. Harder to find.

No they're both used and buying both would hurt since he also has a couple BN 600s.

Get both! The 600s can wait!

Mind you,as a user,the MPT isn't as good as a PST  :pok:
There is no beginning,or ending,and for this we are thankful,cos now is hard enough to understand!

I actually like the MPT.

Yeah, by today's standards its pretty basic. But its still a pretty decent full sized tool.
I haven't got mine out for what must be close to 2yrs!! (2 x SS & 1 x BO). If my memory serves me well, I'm sure back then I was real impressed by the awl!!

I say get them it, sorry  :facepalm:
