Day 2

PST helps cut open a coffee packet to start the day...I am going to carry mine today in a CRK leather slip.

How does everybody still have the PST leather sheath looking brand new with the gold letters? :think:   Mine has worn off some many years back.

Original on the left and a spare l got years ago on the right.

The lettering is surprisingly durable unless hit with a solvent it stays put pretty well.

They sure did make the sheaths to last better from that era :dd: I have several and they are all in fairly good shape  :salute: :like: I have the one from the one my grandpa had (my first LM :cheers: ) and it is still in great shape  :tu: I will get a pic of it in the next day or so :salute:

Hello Pst day 2.
my day 2 is opening a package which sadly is paperwork and some much needed additions to the LM collection  . I suppose I must work to be able to afford proper packages arriving.

Day 1:

Finally back home. Tonight’s pics just glamour shots. Will be using it at work every night.

I have my original Leatherman, the PST, dated 1096. Bought it late that year. Carried it until I bought a gen 1 Wave in 2002.

Here it is, pictured with two Marlboro PSTs I picked up...


My welded on pocket clip fits just perfect in this nylon sheath...



My carry for the month of December!

Day 1:

This PST was made the month before and the month after I was born (1096/1296) and probably assembled in 1997.   

Took this shot when I got it out of the drawer. This is pretty much my entire assemblage of pliers-based tools but a couple small MTs in kits, as well as a Rebar and MP600ST, which for some reason, is in my other desktop's desk in the living room.





Put in a new light switch plate cover. The plastic one had a missing screw--got lost when the wallpaper got removed to restore it back to paneling.   I'd bought a metal one at Lowe's to replace a ceramic one in my room that got broke in half. My plans were to replace both to match but never got around to it. And thus, I had one spare.

Opened packet containing cover.



Removed old plastic one with large screwdriver.



Put new one back on.

Day 02:

I was sorting mail this morning and used the blade on the PST II to open envelopes. The Manly Gift Manual contains more lavender lotion and underwear than multitools....  :facepalm:

40 sounds like a great price for NIB.
If you wear all 28 on a belt you can use it as a diving weight.  :whistle:
