The pic are much Bigger than I expected So you'll have to scroll over to see the whole thing

Any comments on how to make this better would be appreciated

Looking good! 

Here's a couple more of it by itself

And now some pics with it the PST and Swisstool as backdrops  Sorry they are a little dark I will get better  I hope

That is so cool 

Neil

Thanks for the photos Poncho!

The pictures were easier to do than I thought on photobucket glad I did it

I think the second one looks pretty cool, if you didn't know that the Mini was there, you'd assume the ST had sprouted mutations

yeah looks kinda wild once I got it posted on here, One would think that this was a very very big ST

Well I just couldn't bring myself to use the BO  !!!MINI!!! so I went and bought a regular version one

I just got it today It is in very good shape  datecodes 0800 on both handles

it has a logo on it but I knew that going in it is going to be a user anyway

Mine is still missing 

I've bought another but it hasn't arrived yet.

Could someone post a pic of the Mini & Micra next to each other ? Pleeease 
I was thinking of a Micra & Mini on the keyring, would that work ?

Owzat?

Cheers 
Hmmm, bit bigger than I thought, maybe not a keyring job 

Sorry to say it might be a bit big for keychain carry (for me anyway) But it pocket carries like no other full sized pliers

I use a small sized Sackup and I don't know it's there til I need it

Just git a NIB MiniTool today in the mail, happy camper.

It's really hard to believe how small it is the first time you see 1 isn't it Hope it serves you well

Anyone modded one?  I've no need for the blade and would prefer either a little pry tool thingy or perhaps a diamond file.

Neil

I don't recall anyone modding one  well noone talked about it anyway

Problem with this little gem is that all the tools need to be really stubby to go in 

One might cut a diamond file down and put it in or may a prybar tool but I can't be for sure sorry 

If anyone tries please do tell

Yeah, I figured it'd be DIY all the way but thought I'd ask to try and prevent me reinventing the wheel

I just noticed that the plier heads on my Mini Tools are a bit different. In the pics, the middle one (no date codes), are more squared than the tools either side (dated 0799 and 0400).

Also, "Leatherman" and "USA" are rotated 180 degrees on the older tool. It's a bit reminiscent of the PST plier head changes maybe?

Another good spot Dave

Need to check the 2 I have

Well I checked my 2 and the first one is SS and has Leatherman and USA on the plier head like the 2 newer ones you have and it's datecodes are 0800 the 2nd 1 is BO and has Leatherman and Tool on it the Leatherman is same place as the other but Tool replaces USA the datecodes on it are 0104 so there are 3 variations right there

Also my knife blade on the BO just has Leatherman stamped on it whereas the older one SS has Leatherman USA

What's on your knife blades?

All three have "Leatherman USA" on the blade tangs.

The lack of "USA" on the blades is pretty consistent with any of the tools that say "TOOL" on the plier heads from what I've seen, all across the LM range.

That's what I thought but you can't never tell

When you get the BO  !!!MINI!!! put on here same info if you don't mind Dave

Good man Knew I could count on you

My SS 0597 looks the same as your two newer Mini's, Dave

Weeeeell, my new BO Mini that arrived today is 0597 / 0797 and conforms to the pattern too.

And here it is 



It's immaculate - seemingly never used and I love it

I need one with "TOOL" on the plier head now I guess
