A GREAT observation!

To think I kinda backed into PST ownership, so almost missed out on a GREAT LM tool.

When I joined here, I just bought a ST300, and carried it daily on my belt for work, then learned the same tool set was in the REBAR.  A little brother to ghe ST300.   On the scene arrived a new BOND, advertise a modern day PST.
Non locking tools, caught my interest and a smaller tool than my REBAR!  Being retired, that appealed to me 😜

I liked it, yet awl were comparing it to the PST.  Not the PST to the Bond.   So I searched and found a few🥹 PSTs. 🥰.   Easy to carry in the pocket, very capable.

To me it is mind boggling, I almost missed a boat, that so many kinda wrote of 20 years ago.

This challenge is important! If just to offer respect to the tool that launched a industry, but to demonstrate no matter how old, it is a full function productive tool!
If I start and end the day above ground, it is a good day!

Hope yours is as good!

Day 08

I tried to open this package with the awl and couldn't do it.  The double thick tape needed to be cut with the sharp knife blade.

 :iagree: Buddy.  It's a legend in itself me. It's hard to believe how revolutionary this tool was when it came out.

To paraphrase a saying about the old UH-1 Huey helicopter: When the last PBMT is retired, it will be put in a box made by someone with a PST.

Day 9

Woke to snow covering my leave pile and caused even more to drop. Indian Summer appears to have ended🥺

No tool usage yet today, kinda bummed.

Became curious, examining the individual tools, the handles and even the plier jaws. 😱

Have you ever, I mean really examined the precision and fine tooling that was used to craft this little tool???

I am amazed, rivals some SWISS tooling I have been shown by surgical tool manufactures in orthopedic industry…

Just look at the care of the handle

Wow 😳😷😎

Hope yours is as good!

What is the saying about the UH-1? That's the best rotary wing aircraft ever.

Great work, y'awl!

Culling of the knife and multi herds in progress...

If I pay five figures for something, it better have wings or a foundation!

 :iagree: 1000 percent my friend!  The actual saying is The last pilot to drop-off the last Blackhawk in the scrapyard will catch a ride back in a UH-1!

The last Blackhawk will probably be flown to the scrap yard slung under a Huey. :pok:  They've been a work horse since 1960 and they are still in use around the world.

A mini challenge might be fun.  Let's hear it.  :cheers:

I agree Alan!  I'm looking for ideas on a mini challenge.  Let me know everyone!
An idea!

Picture your PST with a backdrop of your yard or favorite setting or forward of your favorite people.

Since the PST is known worldwide. Maybe we can gather pictures set around the world, your world!!!

An example

Sunrise in CANCUN!

Or,
 

A FALL MOUNTAIN SETTING!
If I start and end the day above ground, it is a good day!

Hope yours is as good!
