Supertool 200 SS cap crimper (I think I won!)

[basilio]

Spotted this for sale for € 65 the 31th of December, mint in box!
I looked on the forum for more reference, and I think it is probably a very cool find.
It could be interesting, because the only other two examples I saw here (on the ST200 topic) had the "USA" pliers, while my model as the "TOOL" one.
The date codes on the handles are: 0703 and 1003

Plier head detail

Congratulations on scoring a rare one indeed ! (the only one with "Tool" on the pliers that I know of).

Mine is like all the others I've seen, with "USA" on the pliers, and is dated 1001/1101.  There was a theory that LM only made ST200 SS CC at the very start of ST200 production (using SS CC plier heads left over from the original Super Tool). 

Your example pretty well demolishes that theory, and because you have the original box to show that is how it left the LM factory it definitely isn't a parts bin rebuild or bitsa.


I wonder if anyone has ever seen one like this anywhere else  ?   

[Chako]

That is a great catch!

Nice score !!!

[Mr Biriyani]

Very nice indeed.

Another nice find Carlo , that's the first one I've seen with the newer pliers as well.

Yep, pretty much puts an end to that theory.

Awesome find!

Well, I have now. 

A ST200 SS CC with "Leatherman, Tool" on the pliers is currently heading its (convoluted) way to me as I type this.  When it arrives at its US way-point I'll find out what the date codes are and post here.

Date codes are the same as Basilio's ie 0703 and 1003, so probably assembled by LM at the same time.

Congrats on your addition sir.

Congrats on your addition sir. 

Thank you    I don't think we are going to see too many of these popping up (but you never know, some eBay seller may have a stash that they uncover and want to convert to $$$).

Glad you found one Greg!

Another Super Tool SS CC with "Leatherman, Tool" on the pliers has joined the MTO fold.     When I find out what date codes it has I'll add that info here.

Sweet congrats.  Those St200 CC are interesting.

So Greg, I remember few months ago you were actively looking for a Super Tool 200 with CC.
Now it seems you are finding them almost everywhere ......

Very cool find mate

Yeah, I was looking for one for what seemed quite a long time, now I seem to have ended up with 4 (two with "USA" on the pliers, and two with "Tool" pliers).    

I often find a duplicate tool soon after buying the first one (even though it may have taken a year or more to find that first one), and that happened here too (twice).
