I guess the pliers are just cosmetically different, as well as every version having different tool load-outs. Meh. I'm happy with what I got. It's amazingly solid, yet smooth. Top notch quality.

That hole is funny though. "Let's hang a picture of the tool on the wall, throw a dart at it, and make a lanyard hole wherever it lands."  :rofl:

Did you get the leather pouch with yours? It's a lovely thing.

No, just the nylon one. But it's brand new. That leather one, though. :drool:

I'll just post these threads on the ST1 for reference.

Schrade ST1 variations
Schrade Tough Tool ST1 and Coleman Pro Lock
Taylor Brands Schrade ST1
Original Schrade Tough Tool - pic heavy!
Schrade St1 Made in USA vs New model
Schrade ST1 Review on Multitool.org
Schrade Tough Tool Review
ST1 Tough Tool entry in Multi-Tool Encyclopedia

I found this post in the third thread.

I found this patent information on Google Patents. Here's a link to the Schrade Tough Tool patent.

So anyhow, about that hole.......


(Image removed from quote.)

The patent text reads:
One use of tool 10 to clamp items like a vise is shown in FIG. 7. A multi-strand cable 106 is clamped in jaws 18 and 20 with tool 10 in a semi-closed state. An aperture 108 is preferably formed through web 68 of handle 24 and is adapted to receive, when desired, a lanyard 110. Lanyard 110 provides a convenient way to carry tool 10 on a belt or back-pack. It also allows tool 10 to clamp cable 106, or other desired item, by closing tool 10 with cable 106 between the jaws 18 and 20 of pliers 12, and by wrapping lanyard 110 tightly around handles 22 and 24. Tool 10 will continue to clamp cable 106 without the necessity of gripping the pliers in one's hands. As noted above, this advantage is due to the storing of gripping end 14 externally of the handles when tool 10 is closed.

Clear as mud, right? :D

So it appears that any old MT can be made into locking pliers with a bit of smart usage of paracord ?   :pok:   :tu:

Yep, the oil Schrade used turns a bit gummy and sticky after a decade or two.  That ST1 has the less common CE knife blade with very fine serrations (later ones had coarse serrations).  And those thick leather sheaths look capable of fending off some heavy duty punishment.   :tu:

So after reading the reviews, i tried to find a old usa schrade tool, but to no avail. SO i picked up a new toughtool. Fully expecting a taylor brands model......it wasnt. The packaging says BTI. So after some google detective, Battenfield techologies bought taylor brands and schrade. I currently am quite impressed with out of the box quality. Very Little handle flex, everything locks up nice, tools are sharp, etc. Im going to put it in my tool bag for use, so we can see how it holds up to some abuse.

But right now, i dont think it will have any issues. Has anyone else had the same experience.

Update:
 The handles are quite stiff to open out of the box but it used torx screws, so I adjusted it today and its much better. Not much abuse today, I used the saw on some drywall and removed 1 philips screw. Both the saw and philips worked well. No issues.

Thought you guys might enjoy seeing one of these, it’s a little different from the other two that I have (1-USA, 1-Taylor) in that it has scissors.  Wonder who will handle the lifetime warranty to Australia now that Taylor has been sold....... :cheers:
