Well, I can't believe we don't have a club for the original so we'll remedy that here. Let's see those iconic original PST and PST II's :tu:
I'll get us started.
Here is my original PST bought back in 1994
(http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k115/asc67/IMG_4060_zpsqlv8lyof.jpg)
And my PST II

Rather ironic that this club is created the same day that someone else takes possession of my PST II that I owned for a couple of years :P
-
I'll post pics later, but I'll happily admit to owning a BO PST and a lightly modified PST II. A multitool that everyone should own IMO.

Checking in :D

I'm in with 4.
PST#1 - Early variation.
PST#2 - Japanese PST

Posted this pic earlier. My 98 PST. Don't have a pic on me of my 99 PST II. These are my all time favorite multitools, along with my 95 Super Tool. I have the PST on me right now at work...so handy you don't even know it's there.

Can I join ? I can't do photos, but I seem to have 98 PSTs (and two PST IIs to make it to a nice neat round 100) :-[

Greg, how many unique (no double) PSTs you have?
I have 76 unique PSTs and few on the way. :salute:

You guys take it to the extreme. :salute: :salute:
Would be a nice picture to look at with all those gathered. :drool:

I dont know about the rest of you, but I would be extremely interested to hear (and see) the variations in Greg and wowaboro's collections. (are there really 98 variations of the PST, or are some of those duplicates?)

Proably plenty of duplicates. Depends on what you think a varation is. I dont think there are as many variations as some claim.
-

All PSTs (USA+Japan) vary following signs/options:
- Made country (2 variations)
- Knife blade type (5 variations)
- Knife tang stamps / etch (12 variations)
- Color (2 variations)
- Pivots (4 variations)
- Lanyard attach (4 variations)
- Pliers (4 variations)
- Cast on pliers (10 variations)
- Diameter of pliers pivot (2 variations)
- Hard wire cutter notch (3 variations)
- Face side handles stamps (13 variations)
- Back side handles stamps (6 variations)
- Production date codes (2 variations)
- Ruler (2 variations)
- File tang Stamps (4 variations)
- File cut (3 variations)
- Can opener cut (2 variations)
- Awl blade (2 variations)
- Philips Screwdriver / Off center pivot (2 variations)
- Medium Screwdriver / Off center pivot (3 variations)
and I know at least 110-115 unique PSTs variations existed ;)

Yep, lots of duplicates in my collection.
I guess how many variations you recognise depends on whether you take the "lumper" or "splitter" approach when you do your classification. I tend towards being "splitter" when I see significant (to me) variations. I started off using the versions described in the "Leatherman PST chronology project" thread, then split from there where it made sense to me.
http://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,5877.0.html
Looking at my current spreadsheet I come up with the following counts for my PSTs
(HKS = Hollow Knurled Screws), HR = Hollow Rivets, BO = Black Oxide (default is SS), CC = Cap crimper):
Pre-v2 (HKS): 2
v2 (HKS): 1
v2: 13
4238862-only: 3
v2/6: 9
JPST v3 (HR): 5
JPST v4 large lanyard (HR): 2
JPST v4 (HR): 3
JPST v5 (hollow rivets) 3
JPST v5 (HR): 3
JPST v5: 13
v6: 8
v6/7: 3
v7 NATO: 1
v7: 2
v8 BO: 1
v8: 4
v8 SS CC: 6
v10 SS CC: 2
v8 BO CC: 1
v11 BO CC: 3
v10 DLC: 1
v10 Cabela's: 1
v10: 3
v11 Cabela's: 2
v11: 2
v13: 1
PST II: 2
As you can see I mostly collect older/less common PSTs (the v13 snuck in because it was dated 1004/1004 which I am told is the last month they made regular PSTs). I do have a few more in transit, but my buying has slowed down recently.

Not at all unbelievable considering that Leatherman produced millions and millions of PSTs over the span of two decades.

Very cool that you got a NIB with the price tag. As per the inflation calculator $39.99 in 1990 is $74.46 today :) Does anyone know how much was the first PST sold for in Cabelas?

That is one of the reasons I never bought on back then. They were way to expensive.

Probably about a third to half your list. This is PST owers club thread not a variation thread so I dont want to plung it up with pages of pics and discussion on variations. There is the chronology thread for that or you can start another thread to document the many different variations you have. You have a nice collection of PST's. I would like to see your collection in more detail as I'm sure others would also if you'd care to share it with us. :)

Great pic wowaboro :tu:
Welcome aboard Harley :cheers:

wowaborro, this is what I'm talking about I only see three variations not five drop, clip, and short clip. What are the other two variations?
-
wowaborro, this is what I'm talking about I only see three variations not five drop, clip, and short clip. What are the other two variations?
But the difference is there, those five blades are obviously five different production runs. Whether it's meaningful or not to differentiate them like this is another question.
From a PST-historical standpoint I would say it makes sense. From a user-perspective, 2 or possibly 3 of those could be said to be meaningful but you're not really collecting close to a hundred PSTs to use them all...
-

OK, once again:
1. Drop point
2. Clip point (Saber) type 1
3. Clip point (Saber) type 2
4. Clip point (Saber) type 3
5. Short clip point
On the photo is very good visible the difference between the three types of Clip point (Saber) blades: plunge line (angle or perpendicular), grind type (flat or hollow), grind line. It's not single copies - it's serial types, which was produced in different time periods.
In any case, it's my own classification and I don't want anyone to impose this :)

That's what I wanted to say :cheers:
-
Very interesting about the different blades. I know there were variation in the awls and screwdrivers. What other tools showed variation over the years ?
-
Its still a clip point. Grind lines can change for lots of reasons. Different vendors providing the parts, wore or new machinery, the person setting the machine up etc. I'm not seeing enough proof of your dateing indicators to except it as fact. I have lots of PST's from this time period and your theroy isnt holding up. The grind lines are all over the place on my PST's both stainless and BO from the mid 80's to mid 90's clip points.
-

Most everything saw changes of some sort over the years. Some of it is in the Chronology thread. Other bits and pieces are located in various other threads. One of the problems is trying to date the changes before late 11-92 when date codes were started. The no date clip point knife blade era seems to be problematic. Some indicators are the files and the switch from hand ground pliers to machine ground pliers during this time. There were over 10 milion PST's made over 21 years. :)

The chronology thread I suppose is a better place to discuss all the differences over the years. :cheers:

Easy fellas, take your debate to the chronology thread. This isn't the place :)

Those are some very nice collections. I have a single pst that I bought recently (locally). It has logos on it so perhaps a supplier's handout but it is very clean and I didn't like to pass it up. The file had some crud in it which came off by rubbing with a wooden popsicle stick - otherwise it was pretty much immaculate.
The date stamp inside is "0797".

Another nice one John, welcome aboard !
-
SteveC - thanks.
Upon looking more closely at mine I discovered that the awl (next to the knife blade) seems to be modified for the worse. In fact it looks like someone broke the tip then used a dull rock to file it down.
This shows the relative length compared to the blade:
(http://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/aa327/jcs0001/IMG_0001_7.jpg)
(http://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/aa327/jcs0001/IMG_0002_8.jpg)
(http://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/aa327/jcs0001/IMG_0003_6.jpg)
I didn't check the smaller tools - usually when I find a knife or tool used its the blades that have been abused (broken tips or deep scratches on the sides from sharpening).
I'd appreciate it if someone would post a couple of photos of the awl on their pst so that I can compare the length and shape.
Thanks,
John.

Thanks guys, I'll try and get a few more PST pics later. :tu:

Happy to Join and happy to report I have had a PST for a while but I just recently (thank you 50ft-trad) received a PSTII with original sheath which is on my belt now and has been since I got it.
I know the new models have more rounded handles and are stronger etc etc but the size of the PSTII the tool set and the fantastic sheath is perfect for my carry.
Need an original sheath for my PST now :tu:

Welcome Pattas, now how about some pics :pok:

Wont let me steve says files on my phone ate to big

SteveC - thanks for the photos. Looks like mine is only a few mm shorter but it needs to be cleaned up some.
John.
I might get shot down in flames for this; but I don't rate the PST awl much in the first place. At a guess I'd say the guy who owned your PST before you agreed with me. :D I think you're right though; with a bit of a tidy up that'll be just fine. :salute:

Hi guys, hopefully I'm in the correct place for this. My Leatherman has been with me everyday at work for the last 15 years. In that time it has been used for everything from sharpening pencils to saving lives. Good to see so many of the original tools.

Thank you, I can't rate the Leatherman highly enough. I've started to get a better feel for the SAKs now and can see a few more in my future.

Be sure to check out the PST chronology project that is at the top of the page, very interesting .

Thank you, will do

Welcome aboard Boaz....love to see one still at work! This forum has a tendency to expand your collection...I started out with a PST and a Vic Huntsman. Now I've actually got to make a decision what to pack in my kit for the day as the brood keeps on growing :D

Thank you, I can see my credit card groaning already.

My 1st Post ever is a Question: Has the PST Chronology Project info. been posted in a Complete 'Spreadsheet Format' anywhere? I posted my June 1996 PST Pics in that thread. Locomotiveman Tom
-
Hi and welcome Tom :cheers:
I don't think so on the Spreadsheet. Do you have a specific question about your PST ?
-
My PST with DATE CODE 0696 has no Hard Wire notch and a 2 stamped in the Phillips driver's tang. My question is: When were those features first included? Also, was it 'Hit or Miss' on how certain Leatherman variations came Chronologically off the Assembly Line; as certain posts refer to 'some stocks of variations must have been mixed with other older supplies'. I'm roaming the site, as this is a very interesting LEATHERMAN site. Nice... Locomotiveman Tom

It always feels great to carry a PST , it's like an old friend. It's all I carried for almost 20 years everyday for work before I caught the bug. :D

The PST was my first love M/T wise too, and it's still such a nice carry. In spite of everything that has come afterwards, I'd still take one any day of the week.

Handles have a shiny BO coating unlike any of my other BO Leatherman. Looks sort of like the BO spirits I seen pics of. The tools have the regular flat looking coating.

Could it be DLC ? (diamond like coating) I have a PST that I believe is DLC, and it is a very different finish to LM's regular BO. Shiny, smooth and hard and not totally black. I have no idea if mine is a prototype/one-off/limited run or a custom after-market finish. IIRC I bought it from Texas Tool Crafters a while back. Date codes are 0997/0198.

I'm not sure what DLC is but it is definitely different. One handle is a bit shinier than the other .
I'll try and get a better picture.

If you got it from Texas Tool Crafters it is likely a finish that they did themselves :tu: IIRC they do a lot of stuff like that to several different LM models :) I may be wrong and if anyone knows better I would greatly appreciate the correction :tu:
I would like to join the club :salute: I have serveral PSTs and few PST II I will try to get some pics of them up later to prove it :D

:drool: It is very shiny for a BO :o I like the look of it :tu: Wonder if the color will wear off like a reg BO or it will remain pretty well black :think:
-
Sharp one either way, but I like that shininess. Almost like a black chrome finish.

I only have one PST :-[.
But I found it in the display cabinet of a local store, where it had been waiting for me for the last 13 years ... :dd:
It was brand new, with the original box and manual and most important, the beautiful old style leather sheath (with its own, "brand new leather sheath smell" when you open the box :D). To find one of them over here, in a store, brand new is quite unique.
The owner of the store took over the store and the complete stock from somebody else only a year ago, and a couple of weeks before I was there, he had a sales representative from Leatherman visit his store and when he looked at the display cabinet on the counter, he told the owner there was one tool in it which he should hold on to, since it was a bit of a classic.
And guess who entered the store only a couple of weeks later ... :whistle:

April, 1997 dated PST II. It's my favorite light EDC, and was the first Leatherman I ever owned, purchased last spring for $16. Problem is, I've got the older version of the scissors that jam up on anything thicker than paper or light cardboard.

Hi guys, had a good look at my Leatherman today and found the number 0400 inside, my Wife bought this for me in Scotland 2001, hopefully this adds something to the list.

I've still only 2, a 10/98 PST II and a 1/99 PST, well used but well loved! Of all the m/t's I've been privileged to carry, these guys carry the nicest!

Scored another original sheath that came in today. It's like brand new although a bit dry and I got it for a great price too :tu:
Freshly oiled

Way to go Steve!! Both the PST II and my OG Supertool came with dry, but well conditioned, sheaths. A little leather lotion and they were like new! I try to keep an eye out for them as they are getting really hard to find.
-
This is my only PST which I bought new.
-
That's the thing about the PST and the PST II they are oldies but goodies :cheers: Plus they have some of the nicest sheaths with them in LM history IMO :drool: :D
-
I agree Poncho! :tu: :tu:
-
Big fan of the older sheath as well. I carry my OG Wave in the older sheath and love the way it sits on my belt and the way it feels.
-
This is my only PST which I bought new.
Why on your 0994 1094 PST (which was bought new) short clip point (not saber) type knife blade? ???
This blade type were set on PSTs only from 0895 :think:

Me too, I carry mine in an older box sheath as well. I tried the OG Wave sheath and didn't like the way it rode high on my belt.

I sent it for repairs ( pliers specifically) and got this in return. Never bought a Leatherman since.

My first LM a PST has a datecode of 0794 in both handles and it doesn't have a Saber blade either :think: It may have been that they started changing over from saber to short clip point in 94 and just used up there saber point stock up and put whatever blade they grabbed until it was all used up :D

I think I have my first PST II that actually has PST II on it on the way to me :ahhh :dd: :2tu:

I'm in with a Japanese PST today :) Tapatalk isn't letting me post pics for some reason though, so I'll get to that later. I actually have a PST and PST II as well (which I carry every Sunday at church), and another one or two PSTs. I don't know if I've actually joined in on this club yet :think:
-
I've got two PST2s and two more on the way from "Loki-Mobile".
I've modded one of them for UK EDC - have a look over on the "Mod Squad" section.

Think I jumped on this one to quick without looking at all the pics ::) Seller had it listed correctly I just didn't read it very good :( I got it yesterday and when I opened it there was some damage to it (seller had pics of it and even mentioned it) Looks like electrical burns on one side of the tool an couple of the tools :ahhh Guess I am gonna use this ones plier head and couple of it's tools and put it with a set of handles from a nice PST that I have that has advertising on it :D Hopefully it all comes out alright and I end up with a PST 1.5 :D I think it will have a diamond and regular file :o gonna be a knifeless version but it is gonna have scissors and an awl and maybe turn the med screwdriver into a chisel :multi: this way I can pair it with my alox Electrician Plus :tu:

It is apart as I type into 24 pieces :dd: Gonna soak and clean the parts good before I get my PST 1.5 :2tu:

Very interesting about the different blades. I know there were variation in the awls and screwdrivers. What other tools showed variation over the years ?
I own PST-IIs with both the diamond-coated file both with and without a fishhook / dart sharpening groove.

I guess I was thinking that they only did that on the Pulse :think: Guess they started taking out the groove with both models as they overlapped production for 4 years :D It is kinda odd looking back now that they made both of these tools the (Pulse and PST II ) at the same time and the only difference was one had a combo blade and the other had a PE blade :o
-
I only wished they had kept the Pulse toolset and improved the lock system to something more current like the Rebar chasis :( or at least something in the Zytel lineup (Blast was close but still different) :-\

Looking back at this post I forgot that they had different style scissors as well :oops: Plus the Pulse locked but other than that ::) the tools were essentially the same :D

Yeah, the Pulse was LM's first attempt at a lock. (The Super Tool 200 got it the next model year, IIRC.) I didn't like it. You had to rock that arc-shaped lever back, and DAMN it was stiff. No frakkin' way to do it unless your hands were goo and clean, and even then it was a struggle. I bought one because "locking tools!" but after struggling with it for a few weeks, put it in a drawer and went back to my PST-II.

Just received my first Pst with cap crimper.
It´s very beautiful and seems to be in pretty unused condition never seen one with the inside tools in such a good condition. They work better than I´m used to and without any friction.
So now I want a black Pst. :D

Nice Mr. B :tu: That cap crimper SS is hard to come by and you even got the box with it :o Nice score :cheers:

Yes Wowabro. Pretty amazing expertise there it´s a 0596 on both handles. :salute:

Yes, wowaboro has been following the evolution of PSTs very closely indeed :tu:
Just to add a bit of info, I have 2 SS CC PSTs made around this time:
# 6E also seems to have been a transitional model (same as Mr Biriyani's), it has version10 handles (no REG'D TM number, dated 0596/0696), BUT has v9 pliers (no hard wire notch, no arrows)
# 16E is a straight v10 with v10 handles (dated 0696/0696) and v10 pliers (hard wire notch, no arrows).
I did have a 3rd one (# 506) which I believe was also v10 with handles dated 0597/0597 but I sent it to bdAmmo back in 2014 so I can't check on it.
My other SS CC PSTs are all v8 (dates range from 0593 to 0894), while my BO CC PSTs are all either v8 (0194) or v11 (0299 - 0103).
-
By my last counting, full line of CC PSTs (from Undated to xx04) - 26 pcs (13 SS and 13 BO) :o and I have 20 (9 SS and 11 BO)

He has multiple units. Plier head does not have USA stamp, so these should be fairly recent.

Yes.
They really should bring back a new version of it. Or maybe make a slimmer/lighter version of the Rebar?
I guess all the PST clones already on the market would make it impossible to make a new version in the old frame.

The Pulse if not for the rocker locks is a slimmer Rebar but I have little hope they will bring it back :cry: Just gonna have to get me some scissors and mod mine :D

Hey all, I'm new here and always liked MT's. Even in grade school when I first had and lost my very impractical Hatchet,hammer, screw driver from Germany to the brass nesting multiple screwdrivers back in the day.
My fist Leatherman was a Mini that hasn't yet turned up. I should still have it though. Since then I acquired a couple dozen or so. I like PST's! They are lightweight, compact for pocket and handy with the tool selection.
This one I recently stumbled across and here in MTO learned they are quite rare. This is not my interest and will at some point pass it on. It is near mint. When the time comes it will be offered to the enthusiasts here first.
What is interesting is that the BO Crimper tools I see look to have the crimper cast into the plier jaws. The pics and int the crimper looks machined in afterwards. Would I be wrong in assuming these SS versions are of the first Crimper tool PST's? Then when demand was evident LM invested in the tool alteration casting the plier heads.

Welcome to :MTO: MG
There is a thread around here that explained the change in the CC heads if I am not mistaken :think: I think the change may have occurred due to the earlier design being weaker and the plier heads were breaking :D
I would love to see a pic of your :ahhh :ahhh :ahhh !!!MINI!!! :ahhh :ahhh :ahhh collection as well :cheers: 2 dozen :o :dd:

I had an idea that LM changed the design of PST CC pliers because the original version was pinching or damaging the cap crimpers somehow, so they opened up the edges a bit to prevent that - but I could be wrong (my memory is like my ageing body, not as good as it used to be).

You may be right about that. Now that you say it that sounds like the explanation I remember :doh: Glad you remembered greg :cheers: My mind isn't good no matter what age I am :D

Nice :cheers: I still have yet to get a good condition PST II with PST II actually stamped on it. I have one but it is in rough shape so I took all the best things out of it for my PST 1.5 mod :D

More common than you might think ;) Well I guess they are as I have a few of them and it wasn't to hard to get them either :think: Could be people don't know that they aren't more than just a regular PST :shrug:

I've seen quite a few, I just haven't been able to pick one up yet.

Well, I just bought a Japanese PST.....
On a different note, what do y'all think on this auction? A warranty repair?

PST with Sideclip. Great tools.

loki's wrenches for Charge/Rebar fit the screws of the PST. How cool is that? Disassembled it, cleaned it, put it back together, no fuss. Talk about a useful OPT.
Thanks loki. :cheers:

No, it's earliest PST's pliers head.
Also, this PST may be with hollow screws on pivots (probability 66%) and etched "LEATHERMAN U.S.A." on knife blade (probability 33%).
I think someone good knows for what he spent money.

Yep, very early USA made PST with the early pliers.
Hollow knurled screws (100% certainty) and etched "LEATHERMAN U.S.A." on knife blade (100% certainty) - I asked the seller and he sent me some photos.
I wanted this one, but not as much as some other people. But I'm happy it went to an interested collector (I think only collectors would pay that sort of money for an old PST).
I wonder if the buyer is on MTo ? :pok: (if not, they should be).

I'm glad that my assumptions were confirmed ;)
It's rarest PST modification (maybe even rarest than Cabela's PST), in addition in NIB condition, I think real price of this item much more than $223.

I have one the same, so if you have any questions feel free to ask. I agree that this particular variant seems to be very rare. Mind you, any PST with hollow knurled screws are rare ( I only have 3, and I've been actively looking for them for years - lately prices for these have increased considerably).
It is interesting that the 3 PSTS that have hollow knurled screws also all had the older "Leatherman"-only pliers.
-
So the seller knew what he was selling, and the buyer knew what he was buying. The lack of "USA" on the plier head threw me off, as I could not tell what it was from the PST project page. Granted, I was not into all the details of the PST variations either.
What is the hollow knurled screw? How can you tell? Is it by the spiral-looking line on its head instead of ground head?

Yes, "hollow screws" PSTs must have "LEATHERMAN"-only pliers.
But I have one hollow screws Cabela's PST with "LEATHERMAN USA" pliers

Agreed, I would have payed more than that for it, too bad for me that I missed out. Hollow rivets PST is the last major gap in my collection.

Splitters :pok:
Naah, the regular splitters would all be banging on about with and without the "Leatherman, USA" etched on the main part of the blade, the serious splitters would want to classify according to with and without the "Cabela's" stamped (not etched) on the handle, while the super-serious splitters want to sub-categorise according to whether you have the matching cursive script "Cabela's" sheath or not. However the ultra-serious splitters want to know whether it is NIB, mint, vgc, good condition, used, heavily used or damaged, but no-one takes much notice of them as they are just too anal for us regular folk :pok: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I used the small driver to align the pivots and lever the Spydie's backspring into place when reassembling - worked a treat :)
My knife is now as smooth as butter, though there's some rust spots on the inside of the backspring. I might go back for those when I have more time!

Today I gifted that to my brother who's just started working on vehicle recovery.

It will see more service with him than it would with me :salute:

I've been using this thing for around 20 years. Looking at the chronology page I'm guessing 95? Not sure though. I came to this site to research a new tool even though this thing still works like it did new.

Look inside the handles , there will be a date code stamped in the back side of the handles.

I carried my PST for twenty years as well until I came here researching a new one. I ended up getting a Rebar but now I have a bunch of Leathermans and SAk's :facepalm:

As I see, this one was produced in the period from 0696 to 0298 ;)

Yeah that sounds about right (96 - 98) but I don't see a date code anywhere.

You may have to open all the tools and get it into a good light or shine a light into the handle to see the date code and it should be in both handles :tu:

Yep good call, there it is - 1297. Never even knew that was in there. Now I need to find the other, thanks!

By the "other" I mean the other PST, which I inherited from my Dad. It is older, has one of the patent stamps, but otherwise looks pretty much the same. When he passed away I gave it to my youngest son who has been collecting knives for for a few years. He turned 12 last month. There is no telling where he left it, but I've seen it recently so I know it's still around ::)

Have any of y'all successfully grinded out/polished out an engraved PST?

Seems like there was a thread just recently where someone had done that. I don't know if it was engraved or etched though. :think:

The one in my last couple pics has Boeing ERT on the other side and I tried a little bit to remove it but didn't have much luck so I left it :D
Steve is right about another thread on here because I remember reading it as well but where it is and what the thread is called is beyond me :shrug:

New joiner from France, I own a PST II for many years, probably my first buy on ebay... Found this great forum as i'm looking to upgrade to the Wave for quite some time.

Couldn't decide on the last 2 as I laid it down the snow started falling a little harder and it melted on the PST :D The water did make a nice looking effect so I thought maybe it looked better than the one that just had a drop of water from the first snowflake :think:

Nice black oxide with cap crimped, Steve. I didn't know they did cap coroners or black oxide PST' s until I saw them here.

While I have had a PST II for some time, I have only just today received my first ever, first run PST, a/k/a Leatherman Tool. Special thanks to Sazabi! As you may see in the feedback post, it is like Christmas in August here, as over the weekend, visions of sugar plums, early Leatherman Tools, and original thick leather sheaths danced in my head!
When I ordered from Sazabi, I expressed interest in a particular special edition tool, and then asked to disregard it in favor of a good, run of the mill from the stockpile. What he sent me, I was not expecting.
This PST presents to be a mid to late 80's. Based on J-Sews info, certainly pre-'92. No date codes. Startmpings on only one handle and one side of the tool at that. Registered Trademark #, not the Patent or Pat Pending. Ground awl. And an original-style PST sheath, which I had been lacking. And everything seems tight and sharp.
Glad to say I am now a part of this club for both tools listed in the subject.

Can't say no to an invite from the founder can I? :hatsoff:
Glad to join in with a PST I just got after my first one had been replaced by LM with a new Wave under warranty, and the items in the first picture had become lonely (or so I imagine - I tell you, this forum is doing strange things to my mind).
It's stamped 0302 and has seen some use but overall it's fine. I have always liked the no-nonsense elegance of the original tool and while I hadn't marked my previous one as 'emotional value' and am pretty happy with the replacement Wave, I did in the end feel the loss somewhat.
The small screwdriver is a bit twisted and chipped, but nothing that can't be repaired with a bit of grinding.

Recently bought a batch of 5 PSTs from eBay. One of it was badly damaged on the handle. It's a rather early version cos there's no date code. Everything was good other than the handle. Occasionally, I do buy beat up tools to "restore".. This wasn't an intended piece though.. The result after about 2 hours of elbow grease, sandpaper, sore fingers and thumb.. Have faith, these are built like a tank. Further work needs to be done, as well as on the inside.. Rather rusted.

I picked up an old broken PST at the weekend. I stripped it down, re-shaped the blade (which was missing its point), cleaned it all up etc... and I think it's turned out rather well.

Nice first post and great job on re-profiling the blade :like: :cheers: :tu:

Cheers!, It's a lovely little blade now actually. The photo doesn't do it justice, i'll maybe try and take some "artistic" shots of it later.

Great job and welcome aboard!!

Already talked with you in the PST Timeline thread but those are wonderful pics and welcome to :MTO:
-
I don't know if this is appropriate for this thread, but anyway...
I absolutely love my new PST - it is by far my favourate Leatherman now - there's a quality about it, that's quite difficult for me to articulate, that just gives me the buzz i used to get with pocket tools twenty-odd years ago.
However the phillips on mine, although it looks lovely and all that, is just not going to hack it with what i do on a daily basis and sooner or later's going to get rounded off - i need a driver that can do number twos!
It's a beautiful Saturday morning here, I've done everything i need to do, everyone's out of my hair etc and ive got a bit of time to myself. So... this mornings tinkering project - swap the philips on my PST for the one from my old Wave...

Not to talk you out of a mod but if you were to get a newer PST it would have the same Phillips as the OG Wave.
-
I just used the PST II as an example the newer PST came with the same Phillips. The head size on the Phillips is I believe the same on the old style verses the new style.
(https://i.imgur.com/d4jkoAih.jpg)
-
Thanks Steve,
That is true. However i really like the age of this PST for aesthetic reasons and i had to modify the blade anyway as it was broken, so it's already embarked on its modness. I also quite like the idea of again using the driver from my old wave. The Wave's retired and sits on a book shelf - it wont mind having its driver downgraded temporary... unti, that is, i find another off-set driver i can swap back into it.
Also, i'm in the UK and it's blooody difficult to aquire vintage multitools here.

As we all know, latest production date of Leatherman PST - 1004 (october 2004), but I couldn't find what exactly latest production date of PST II?
In different sources indicated that around 2004, but latest date codes on PST II I've seen - 0903 (september 2003).
I request to PST II's owners, please, share here latest dates codes of your items, maybe we all will find the answer to this interesting question :cheers:

Good idea wowaboro :tu: :like:
The newest one I have is only an 0302/0102 and the rest are earlier ones that are just marked Leatherman Tool like the PST, so no help on finding out how late they were made I am afraid :-\ :D

My order of ferric chloride arrived today.. It's my first time doing an acid wash.. Took a not too good pst as a Guinea pig.. Didn't manage to get it as black as I though it would be.. Hmm..

Thanks. It's pretty much the same etching process for blades. Disassemble, clean, acid dunk follow by baking soda bathe. The acid will "eat" the metal though. I can feel the pliers pivot a little looser and the cutter have problem cutting soft cable now. But this had a bad plier head in the first place so I dun feel too bad.

Ferric chloride was used. I bought the 2 litre granules. Dunk for about 30mins at room temp. I couldn't get a darker colour though. The picture just somehow came out darker. It's more of a matt grey finish..

Prior to this I did a trial on some other parts. Turn out quite ok. Juice is the worse though. Doesn't seems much effect compared to other. The wave turn out quite nice. May try this on my OG wave soon..

Owning my first PST has really given me a new respect for leatherman. The PST is just a fantastic tool. It cuts into the hands a little bit when using the pliers but damn is it a great size and It just disappears into the pocket. It defiantly a new favourite of mine. Now to get a PST2 and a Pulse....... :ahhh

Oh there all on the list don't you worry :tu: . Your PST still looks great. They really are built to last. How comes you have retired it? is it because it has too much sentimental value attached and they wouldn't be able to repair it any more?
-
Hard to tell from the pic but the pliers teeth are rounded off , file is worn out and the phillips has seen better days.
I have four other PST's that I can carry when I feel like carrying one. So it's basically retired due to redundancy and sentimental reasons. It still would work fine in a pinch though. :tu:

Um, at the risk of shooting myself in the foot here, someone of us in New York's Hudson Valley region near Fishkill May want to take a peek at the local Craigslist, for sale section and just search up 'leatherman'.
The pristine condition early 90's PST that is available with leather sheath, white box with red grid pattern, and included instruction sheet, is nearly too much to bear. I'm 3 hours drive or so away, and even I'm thinking of making that drive.
Anyone of us any closer and want it? I'd rather see one of us get it than someone who doesn't know it's value and place.
https://hudsonvalley.craigslist.org/tls/d/vintage-leatherman-pst-tool/6401500628.html
Yes I posted it in the deals and auctions section as well but don't know how many of us look there. I figured if any other club should be informed about it, should be this one

Stay tuned ;)
This.. Is.. Such a teaser.... :pok:

About other countries I don't know.

Leatherman Heritage PST (http://www.2win.ru/leatherman/heritage-pst#%D0%B8%D0%BD%D1%81%D1%82%D1%80%D1%83%D0%BC%D0%B5%D0%BD%D1%82%D1%8B)

$285 I think I'll pass :o

There's nothing even on Leathermans website about this, but I found an article in a South African engineering magazine about it, complete with an interview with Tim himself. They said a thousand of these would be available in SA.
Seems like it's not going on here

In this aricle http://www.engineeringnews.co.za/article/leatherman-celebrates-35th-anniversary-with-revival-of-original-pocket-survival-tool-2018-01-12-1 says:
...The PST is limited to 100x pieces in South Africa and will retail for around R3600,00...
...The Limited Edition PST will be available January 23rd at select Leatherman retailers...

Oh. My mistake. I took the x to be a variable last digit, so 1000, or possibly 1002, up to 1009.
So only a hundred. Somebody said that's over $200 USD. That's bat smurf crazy.
How does this happen? Does Leatherman start gathering all the warranty repair trade-ins over the past, say, five years, and see what they have to work with, or do they do full on genuine tool-up and build an additional assembly line starting from scratch?
Seems like it would be expensive to put all the machinery together to stamp out just a few of these, and then break the assembly line down again. If they did build a whole assy line just for these, they should have just gone ahead and brought them back into production for like a whole year or something.
I am telling you, if I saw a newly minted (circa year 2001 design) Leatherman PST at about $50 on the shelf next to a Wave or even a Rebar, I'd buy the PST every time. And over a Wingman or Sidekick. Most definitely over a Rev, despite the price of the Rev. Those three look more complicated to cut and assemble

Warranty? Additional assembly line? You dig too deep :D
All's much easier. It's not PST's revival, it's just a limited edition that dedicated to the Anniversary of company (as in 2006 for 45th Cabela's Anniversary).
Tool made from old stock parts, only leather sheath looks like new production.
Quantity is limited and $200-250 price is not too much for serious PST's collectors.
-
Great idea, but I'd need it to build a dwelling for myself if I ever spent that much for one and my wife caught wind of it :facepalm:

That was my first thought, that they had been collecting warrantee trade-in parts for some years and decided to put a small number of good tools together. I'm tryin to say, it would seem insane to create a line in the factory for such a limited run...although I wish they would create a line and start churning these out again.
I have two PSTs and three PSTIIs, and they are some of the best, simplest tools out there

Reading about the new PST made me dig out mine.
I have three. My original with dates of 06/96 and 05/96
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180205/385a37d7285c6d44f4f9cfd60870a81b.jpg)
Then I have two Marlboro editions. One used and one NIB...
They both are dated 06/94...

The PST is such a simple, elegant tool. I sometimes grab it just for the memories. I was a TIG welder at a Visteon factory and carried that PST from ‘96 until mid ‘01 when I bought my Wave. Still have it as well!!

New PST2!!!... well, actually no... not quite.
I've been wanting a PST2 for a while now, especially with Stevey constantly flashing his all over the place [nice Supertool by the way :salute:], but I keep missing out on bay auctions. So this afternoon I popped some scissors into my PST just to see what the fuss is about... and I like it I think. It's a shame to loose that lovely old chunky medium flat head, but it does make it a better tool... time will tell. :think:

Thanks to a earlier tip off from Wowaboro, I was the one that snap it up from evilbay. Its in really decent condition and very decent price. Its one of the very earlier version from end 1995. The most interesting part is that on the handle, both front and back are stamped with the patent number. I have a rather big stash of PSTs and PST2s. This is the first for me. :cheers:

Hello,
I recently acquired a PST on a pawn shop hunt. I like to browse pawnshops because you never really know what you might find. In one shop, there was a cardboard box that had dozens of knives and mt's. I asked the guy behind the counter if I could look through it. Mostly there were some crappy China made knives and mt's but at the bottom, I saw something that sparked my curiosity. Pulling it out, I immediately noticed the writing on the handle: Leatherman Tool. Not having owned a PST in 17 years, I did not immediately recognize it but I was hoping that it was. Money passed hands ($15) and I took it home to get cleaned up. Looking online, I was looking for hints that this was a genuine PST. I found this very site and learned about the date stamp in the handles, mine is 0394. I was so excited. A ST 200 is my go-to mt so the PST is considerably smaller but I think that she will still ride my hip as soon as I get a replacement sheath. I might not use her but she will be a reminder of better times.
I will post pics when I get a chance. Thank you for reading my story.
Ken

PST II. The Leatherman PST chronology project is a great place to research you LM: :like:
https://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,5877.0.html (https://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,5877.0.html)
Made between '96 and '04 and if you look closely inside the handle (under the tools), you'll see a 4-digit date code (MMYY). Enjoy! :salute:

I might even narrow this down to 97 to 2000 but as said it has the date codes inside the handles :cheers: it is a great model :tu:

That is an early PSTII (before they started to stamp the handles with "PSTII" ).
It will have date codes inside the handles (sometimes a bit faint, but they will be there).
-
Hi folks. Thank you all for your valuable information. This is very helpful indeed. I checked the date stamp at the inside of the handles and it says "9690". Does that mean it was produced in 1990? If so, I am a litle bit confused by the month "96xx" as I thought the date code is MMYY? Also, if it is indeed a 1990 model, then based on my reading of the Leatherman PST chronology project, it appears that it is a PST model rather than PSTII model? (please correct me if I am wrong).
As always, any help would be greated appreciated. Thanks !
-
I just realized I might have turned the handles upside down. The date code therefore is 0696, not 9690. That will make it a 1996 produced PSTII model. Sorry for the confusion.

No worries, you have figured it out. The tool is definitely a PSTII, the PST didn't have scissors or a diamond saw with a hook sharpening groove.

My apologies if I’m posting this in the wrong thread but I wanted to get an opinion about a Leatherman PST and see if anyone may be able to point me in the right direction as to the value or perhaps make an offer. I have attached some photos but happy to send more. I think it may be a PST from the late 80’s - early 90’s described here if I recall as #5?
Update: Date code is 1194
Thank you in advance for any advise.

Welcome VV :tu:
This is more of an “owners club” thread for PSTs. You can try posting FS on the trade link here: https://forum.multitool.org/index.php/board,7.0.html (https://forum.multitool.org/index.php/board,7.0.html)
Your PST looks in good condition. But difficult to give a value. It’s really only collectors that buy the PSTs and there are a lot on the market, so not particularly valuable.
Good luck :salute:

Welcome W !
Max has it right we have a B&S section that you can post in. You will need 5 posts before you can answer private messages. Please read the rules in the B&S section before listing your PST.
As to value I would say with the sheath around $35

Welcome to :MTO: VV :cheers: Nice PST :like: these 2 above me have it right about where to sell and the price :cheers:
Also :think: it may be the way I am looking at it but it seems to have a blade on it that is older than the 94 year it was made ??? perhaps it was warrantied at one time and they had an older blade in part stock and replaced it :think:
Yeah I am looking at the pics again :facepalm: :D

Sorry for posting in the wrong topic. I haveade a new post in the for sale thread.

Hi there,
I've had my PST II since about 1996, it looks like it'll need a sharpen now .. anyone know of any reputable places in NZ that can sharpen it and not trash it ?
Pic attached so you can see how it looks after a few trips around the world and being used for things it's not supposed to be (hammer and chisel come to mind) :-)

Thanks for sharing your story! Your multitool has lived up to its name!

Hi Mark, welcome to the MTo boards. :cheers: :cheers: Where abouts are you located? I am down in Canterbury.

Welcome Mark :cheers: is it the knife blade you are wondering about ? If so should be pretty easy to sharpen yourself with a small whetstone.

Welcome Mark :cheers: is it the knife blade you are wondering about ? If so should be pretty easy to sharpen yourself with a small whetstone.
It's a serrated blade .. last 2 inches I could probably do as they are more knife like, but in the little crecent bits I'd just ruin it, so going to try and find someone who does sharpening for a living and trust them with it.
-
I use a Lansky BladeMedic - very easy to use on the individual crescents of the serrated section. :tu:
-
Welcome to :MTO: Mark :salute: hope you can get your PST II wicked sharp :cheers:
-
Time for old faithful...
That is, it is reasonably new to me, but it replaces the PST that I had inadvertently snapped the blade off of about two decades ago. I sent the broken one in a couple years ago. True to their word, LM honoured their warranty but as PST blades were no longer available they opted to give me a brand new Wave instead. Who was I to complain?
However, the simplicity and originality of the old PST had continued to exert its appeal, so, as some may know, I got a replacement, from the (alas now defunct) MTO store. It is used but in good shape.
-
Excellent that they replace the PST with a Wave :o sad but at least it was a very worthy replacement :cheers: The new to you replacement of the PST you have is also very nice and looks to be nearly unused 8) :like: Very nice DT :tu:

Hello Heywood. Not that I’m aware. This link gives the chronology of PST and variants https://forum.multitool.org/index.php?topic=5877.0 (https://forum.multitool.org/index.php?topic=5877.0)

A new to me PST.
(https://i.imgur.com/LJD4aqh.jpg)
I gave my first PST away several years ago. I had acquired a SOG Paratool and a LM Wave, so I didn't think I needed a PST and gave it to a family member. Funny enough, I now find that I miss the old PST. I thought the Rebar would end up being the replacement, and perhaps it is.
However, when The Great PST Challenge (https://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,82188.0.html) got announced, it gave me the excuse I needed to get a PST back in my hands. Such a delightful multitool; I'm now not sure why I let it get away......

The Phillips driver would seem to be in-line, the other drivers are out of line. Would seem to match me fairly well, in that regard. ;)

Steve's challenge has put the PST bee in my proverbial bonnet. I figured I better have a back-up, so I pick up this 1004 PST (too good a deal to pass up on really....)
(https://i.imgur.com/J403Aig.jpg)
I posted this shot because the knife side tool set is really loose and just flops open, as shown above. This makes it a tiny bit dangerous if you aren't paying attention as you close it: I got a small bite to remind me to be more attentive. :-[
There is a bit of....discolortion here and there, but it's in good shape overall.

I've got the parts soaking in some Ballistol now. Will clean them up and get it awl put back together tomorrow. Might add an extra washer if the knife-side tool set stays too loose.

Take care of that one. 1004 is the last know date code at the end of the PST production. They dont pop up that often.

The sheath that came with the 1004 PST has seen some serious belt time.
Rubs, dents, cracks. Brown in spots. Tarnished snap.
But the leather seemed to have some life left in it, so I gave it a bit of a rehab treatment today. (Lexol, black stain, Hubbards shoe grease, and some clear top wax.)

Can join this club now that i have my first PST.. my dad had bought one way back in the mid to late 90s- my brother now has that one, but I just picked up this good condition 0101 PST, good condition except the small driver is snapped off. So if anyone knows where to get one, or is willing to sell/donate one, I'm looking.
I was going to originally mod this somehow, or steal some parts from it... but it's actually such a nice tool on it's own, I think I'll just polish it up and display it and leave it be! I'm so surprised at how elegant this tool is. It's like a supersized Micra with pliers in place of scissors.

Yeah, having gotten one again myself, I'm in love awl over. :D
The PST and the original Super Tool have reminded me why Leatherman was such a great multitool company. Their new offerings don't compare in my mind, 'though I do still love my Wave and Rebar.

Agreed... mostly. I don't think anything that they've released since roughly 2015 has been both innovative AND useful. Innovative, yes... but I think the multitool market is reaching a design roadblock of sorts. The new FREE series is neat, but has issues, which is a different discussion... but doesn't bring anything truly revolutionary to the MT industry as a whole, not like the original PST did.. or the WAVE. Of all of their products in since '83, probably only about a dozen are truly "next-generation revolutionary".
Sometimes the basics are still the best.

I mostly like the higher quality of the PSTs and Super Tools.
And the more compact designs. Fewer tools, yes, but more compact.

Just added a Marlboro Country Store PST. It is date stamped 06/94 in both handles. I got it used but it is in like new condition. I bought it with the intention of doing a restoration like Steve and others have done here recently. All it needed was some light cleaning with soap and water, a shot of compressed air, and some WD-40. The Marlboro stamp is very faint on mine. Just wondering if this is normal?
Anyway, here she is in all her glory.

Normal? I don't know. Fortuitous? Absolutely!!!

Thanks Jason, Glad my post triggered a memory about your father’s PST. I hope it was a happy one. Sorry to read it bit you. I have been teaching my boys about knife safety so they can earn their whittling chip and know that excitement can trump safety. Hope your cut wasn’t serious.

Here's my first "real" multi tool/ Leatherman: a 11-12/'99 PST II bought new, and the then-optional nylon flashlight- tool combo sheath (shown with the 2nd Mini Maglite it had, and it's converted to led with the Terralux Mini star 2 module).
Had been relegated to "drawer king", as it had loose pliers and tool pivots, and its sentimental value for me ( wedding present; travels to Spain and Italy; travels within the US).
Recently, I read a couple of members'posts on how to peen pivots, and took courage and fixed the pliers'; also made me a couple of " maintenance wrenches" for PST/ST300 pivots, and adjusted those on the PSTII.Cleaned the pliers' teeth, diamond file and lubed also. I'm really glad to have it in almost like new condition, and once reburnished and polished it's out to the world again!!! Thanks to all for the ideas and motivation. Hope you like it! Suggestions, comments or critiques welcome.
PS- sorry for the crappy picture...

Is a BO PST rare or not, I don't see them very often.
I just bought one so I can't wait till it arrives. :woohoo:

They are rare relative to some JPSTs and most regular PSTs.
I just got a cap crimper BO version myself. :woohoo:
I would say they are rare now. Other collectors say they are uncommon, but they bought theirs back when there were some floating around. Even if not extremely rare, they will be within 10 years or so.

ok, thanks :cheers:

0594/0295 BO CC PST.
This is the one I took a gamble on when buying. The photos looked like there was something wrong on the BO finish. Well, the gamble paid off, as the odd stuff came off with cleaning, with the BO finish being perfect. This tool was never used at all. Even the sheath is perfect. :ahhh

0594/0295 BO CC PST.
...This tool was never used at all...
Sorry, but I think, except pliers.
1994-95 PST's pliers did not have hard wire cutter notch, earliest has been from 0696.
On your item it is, but looks like dent from snacking of something very hard.
Or, maybe it's normal pliers with hard wire notch that was replaced (for example under warranty) later 0696, but it is very unlikely.

Thank you for the info, wowaboro!
Only thing is, there is absolutely no sign the tool has ever been used. It would be odd to have replacement pliers in an unused tool right?. :dunno:
I had just figured the most likely scenario is that the handles were pulled from old stock, since the dates are so far apart.
And could the notch be there solely because it is a CC head and not a standard head?
I'm not well informed on PSTs, so my thoughts are conjecture at the most. :ahhh
-
Sometimes people try a tool and then put it away. It may have been someone trying to cut a hard wire? :dunno:

On unused BO PSTs hard wire notch is black coated too, like as all other surfaces.
As I see on your picture and on picture from eBay - edges of notch is just steel color, that is the coating was erased.
Although maybe it's just an optical illusion :think:

There is no damage to the cutters. The notch was definitely intentionally ground into the cutters of an older BO CC pliers head after the fact. The cutters have never cut anything, since I could not see any marring/scratching/discoloring within the cutters. The notch was done with some kind of machine tooling, as the grind is machined, and not done with a file. It is even on both sides in depth and grind angle.

And we keep in mind this is the same company that sold a few tools with USA just ground out of the casting after removing USA from the tools. Is it a stretch to think the notch was ground into some older BO CCs(still in stock) before/around the time the notch was added to the more civilian tools?
Or am I just crazy, and this was joe-blow in his garage with a dremel tool? :dunno:
-
Interesting GLBM...Joe did a good job :facepalm:
It would be unusual for the factory to machine a tool after finishing the surface, but I imagine that’s not out of the question? :think:
...it will be one of your mystery tools! Still beautiful. :like:

Thank you, guys!
Looking around, it appears Bob has a CC PST with notches like to the ones on mine. More round than oval, and placed above the pivot a bit more than later ones.

My other PSTs with notches look different than Bob's and the BO CC I have.

Interesting :popcorn:

By a stroke of cheap luck, I'm back in this club. Won this 1996 (my birth year!) for $15 shipped on eBay just now. Looks hardly, if ever used. Pliers are supposedly stiff--I suspect because the tool is not yet broke in. No sheath, however. Guess that's something to get later on.

I've learned quite a bit and enjoyed this thread after coming late to the PST.
Sort of in reverse after acquiring and using most of the modern Leatherman multitools.

One handle has no date...

... while the other side shows 0793 ...
(https://i.imgur.com/o1WZiYg.jpg)
I thought date codes were added in '92 ?
And here's another observation. In both sheath of the two BO PSTs I've got there was already this felt pad put over the upper rivets.
Did Leatherman ship the BO PSTs sheath like this?
(https://i.imgur.com/D3RZQe2.jpg)
Then I've wiped the whole thing with Balistol and what I thought were fine scratches disappeard.
It was just in the loose BO dust. I'm super happy with it and decided this one to carry frequently :ahhh

My 3rd new for me PST-II. I think I’ve used it more in one day (armchair) than the previous owner did in 20 years. :facepalm:
I now have two ‘like new’ examples and a working tool that gets regular rotation. These, together with my 3 regular models, make the PST the most popular LM in my humble collection. :cheers:

That version of nylon sheath was good too.
Looks flawless :tu:

:hatsoff:
I do prefer the classic original leather box pouch, but these Velcro nylon padded ones are OK, and have a neoprene padding that gives them some stiffness and body. Probably better quality than the stuff pushed out today.
I find it easier to just drop the PST in my pocket. It’s small enough for pocket EDC. But I guess if I was climbing up ladders or down holes, I’d put it on the belt. :salute:

Well I'm quite excited to be rejoining the pst owners club and joining anew the pst II club! I found a II on eBay for a price I was happy with, and happened across a pst at a pawnshop I'd wandered into for a fair price.
A black pst was actually "my" first multitool when I was young. A friend had snapped the tip off the blade of his father's and gave it to me to hide (we were quite young, and knew nothing of the warranty, or just admitting mistakes) while he got a replacement. He later told me to keep it. I replaced it with a wave after I'd enlisted in the US Marines, and for the life of me can't recall what happened to it. Pretty sure it's either tucked away in some corner to be found by the next adventurer or was passed on to another.

Date codes were added from late ‘92 and they added the Reg. number from late 80s, so somewhere in that range. :salute:

I have one no date sample, and it’s one of my favorite PSTs. The smaller pivot size gives it a more vintage look compared to the later models with the more modern pivot size. And it’s cool to see a Leatherman with no stampings at all on one side. :salute:
Sure, the newer ‘outside’ drivers are a little more secure from folding, but I prefer the more centerline older design.
Below are a few pics of the non-date and ‘03 final version example.

I just picked up this PST that is dated 0497 (at least I think that is the date of manufacture). The PST was my first tool I had and carried it with me for several years on the job. I found this on Offer Up here in Hawai'i. The person I bought it from buys lots from TSA forfeitures. I figured twenty bucks, I couldn't go wrong.

It isn’t bad. No rust and it was well maintained. It had a thin layer of what looked like axle grease on the plier head and joint. I’m happy with this. Not quite sure if I’m going to use it or just display it.

The person I bought this from also had a first generation Sidekick for $25 and another PST for $20. The more I play with this, the more I remember why I stopped using it, not great ergonomics, however, this was the first tool I had and it worked well despite some of these issues. I’ll keep it for display.

The PST does show it's age some but as far as a daily user, they are still hard to beat just because how well they pocket and the tool selection is sp well thought out :tu: You can really tell how the company made it with this tool :salute:

Hi, everyone!
I picked up my first PST a few weeks ago
it's a 1994 model with a snaped-off blade and a lot of surface rust, but hey it's mine and I only paid $10 for it.

This is some of the surface rust on the tools and some odd damage to the can/bottle opener:

So the plans for this tool include taking it apart and cleaning it out so the tools can be opened easier, I ordered the Loki-mobile wrenches so I don't have to mess up the fasteners, it's past its 25-year warranty anyways.
Might even try some mods. I don't know.
Do people start to build threads on their Leathermans here or is that just a car forum thing?
Anyway hope you enjoyed the pictures.

G'Day,
Congrats on the PST.
There is a whole sub-forum dedicated to mods: https://forum.multitool.org/index.php/board,16.0.html. You will find lots of info on the older tools and what is compatible between the different models. A SOG saw is a good replacement for the broken blade and it requires very little sanding. Pivot size and thickness are the same. I include a pic of the one I did, write-up in the Mod Squad sub-forum.
Cheers, Pete

Yeah, I wonder what caused this missing parts of the opener and big flat head. Any acid maybe? :think:
A SOG knife blade might be working too as replacement for the original?

There are parts available on ebay but they are pricey. I would use that one as a parts tool and look for one in better shape.

My 3rd new for me PST-II. I think I’ve used it more in one day (armchair) than the previous owner did in 20 years. :facepalm:
I now have two ‘like new’ examples and a working tool that gets regular rotation. These, together with my 3 regular models, make the PST the most popular LM in my humble collection. :cheers:
Looks good and love that vintage sheath as well.

They've started stamping date codes from around Nov. '92 on. It's normal to have different parts of different age.
So the one handle without date code seems to be made before Nov. '92 :salute:

That was about the time that they started stampings dates in the handles :tu: you have one that is in the transition stage of no dates in the handles (using up the old stock without date codes) and having some of the earlier ones with dates :like: :like:
I had one of those years ago but sent it to another member that had sent me a Supertool and some LM merch :tu:

The documentable history on these tools makes them all the more interesting. Thanks for sharing.
Having had more time to really look this PST over, I have to say it is a really nice precision made tool. The word “jewel” comes to mind when examining how nicely tightly fit and finished it is…even now as it’s approaching nearly 30yrs of age it’s still nice and tight with all tools in excellent condition. Someone took care of this tool no doubt, but still I think it’s condition is a testimony to its quality. I also like that it is designed with virtually no wasted or oversized space. It feels small even compared to my Bond. I’m actually reminded of my Squirt when handling the compact PST…only it’s so much nicer than the Squirt.

Looking at a PST II online. The seller says that it doesn’t have date codes. Is this possible? I thought Leatherman dated their tools after late 92 and the PST II came out after this date. Any info would be appreciated.

There was a time when Leatherman would use whatever they had in stock for repairs. I have a PST II that is half a PST. I even have a PST II that does not state PST II on both handles. Is it a PST II with PST handles...or is it a PST with a PST II loadout? :dunno:

The seller has pictures, but none show the inside of the handles. I’ve emailed them and am waiting for a response. The pics do show the scissors, so definitely a PST II.

I'm wondering if the new Removeable Pocket Clip (as found on the Free) could work on a PST without any modification? :think:
The main drawbacks I can see are you could only use one of the holes (so it might move around) and the clip would protrude past the end of the handle.
The next issue would be the diameter of the fastener on the PST vs the diameter of the clip's hole, and whether it's length would be enough.
Are there any owners of both who would be willing to take a quick look? :pok:

I think you would have to drill holes in the PST :think: or drill the hole bigger in the clip if you were going to try and use it on the pivot :think: If that is what you are asking anyways :shrug:

It is, although I'm really asking if someone could undo a pivot and try to put the clip on before I spend $14 on one. ;)
-
The Removable Pocket Clip like on the Wave would more likely fit over a pivot vs the one on the Free :think: :cheers:
-
Yeah. The style of the Free one would match the PST better though.
-
:iagree: but you would have to drill one of the holes in the Free/Bond pocket clip to accommodate the pivot screw :tu:
-
OK, so the hole in the clip is too small (but could work if enlarged). Thanks for confirming. :hatsoff:
-
If you have enough threads left because of the thickness of the clip :think: and if the knurled screw would fit in to be tightened down :shrug: So maybe it wouldn't work :dunno:
-
Perhaps the Kick (or even Sideclip) clip would be a better bet.
Not for $45 though (I just looked on ebay). :ahhh

Picked up a second PST II with both file and small driver broken, but for US$20 couldn’t resist
Was thinking I’d dremel the driver into an awl and don’t really need the file as plenty of other tools with one but thinking about it, replacing it with a saw might be a good option :think:
Does anyone know which (or if) the saw from another LM would fit without too much work? I’ve ordered some parse spanners from Loki to take it apart
Perhaps better asked in the mod forum but thought I’d check here first
It’s no deal breaker if not, could always try and get another file of course but reckon it’d make an awlsome, lightweight bush walking back up paired with a SAK

Actually the saw from a SOG is what I used in one of my mods :cheers: I still had to Dremel the tang a bit (others had done this mod before me) but it worked out great :tu: to bad about the file though :facepalm:
Not sure of any LM saw that would be a drop in mod though :think:

Thanks Poncho definite food for thought :tu:
The other option I was contemplating was a straight edge blade…although may just make more sense to look for another file :think:

Be good if it did, when I get the parse wrenches I’ll be able to give it a try. Don’t want to cannibalize my rebars but should be able to get the saw on eBay, be good to see if it works first anyway
:cheers:
-
Be aware of the different locking mechanism.
I'm just guessing it might be the easiest to get and adopt.
The SOG ones can be bought new separately Poncho? Did you make some pics of your mod back then?
-
I had found them a few years ago separately, yes but who knows about finding those now :shrug:
The Rebar could be made to work but would require as much if not more grinding on the tang to make it work, thus making it unusable and irreversible in a Rebar if you wanted to take it back out and put it back in :ahhh If you had thought about it when you got the loki wrenches you could have probably bought a saw from loki himself :think:
I did make some pics with the saw mod and it is in the Mod Squad. Need to go and find it :think: :D

Thanks guys and thanks for digging out that link Poncho, will take a look later
I don’t intend to mod the rebar saw but may take one apart just to see what’s required and if doable buy one online. Otherwise I’m considering a straight blade, just a replacement file or in all honesty, just leaving it as is, was cheap enough just to have for the pliers and scissors

I’ve just read Poncho and Pieter’s threads so will use those as my guide…sounds like this isn’t your first SOG saw RAK Greg :salute:
This will be my first mod though so will need to be slow and thorough methinks and hopefully will do a reasonable job
Thanks again Greg that’s awesome :hatsoff:

Being an earlier model it has the initial scissors version. I've decided not do the fix on them until I run into a problem. I've tried light cardboard and it worked well.

I'm asking here since I didn't get a reply in the "30 Day Challenges for 2021" thread.
It says there is a Great PST Challenge for November, but I don't see a thread anywhere to sign up. It looks like October is a Delemont challenge, but I couldnt find a Delemont on Amazon, so I figured I would sign up for the PST challenge early :)

Hi Rich, I’m assuming it’s still on just the thread hasn’t been started yet, I’m keen
Re Delemont’s and the challenge. Look up Victorinox Evo, Evolution, Evogrip and Rangergrip on Amazon for VIC Delemonts
You’re welcome to start late, you won’t be the only one, trouble is you’d need to start the PST challenge late too :cheers:

Adam, what pocket clip is that?

It came from a Chinese MT. I have 3 clips that are identical or highly similar that I harvested from a couple of cheap Mossy Oaks from Walmart and a Wetools MT from Amazon.

I forgot that one of the clips came from an Ozark Trail 15-in-1. That MT is great for 3 reasons if you are into modding:
1) Useable clip
2) Scissors are the same as or highly similar to the Multiforce scissors, which are better that the Wave's scissors in my opinion
3) Costs $14 at Walmart

Thanks! Did you have to make any adjustments to the PST, or did you just put it under the screw/post/whatever-it's-called?

My OG, a 1990 Leatherman PST, that went to war in the gulf with me, original sheath. Along side my, new to me, PST ll with bit kit ($15 on craigslist)
-
On the PST2 (got in a GAW from one of the incredible members of this magnificent forum), the stamp says, I think : 0797 on one side and 1097 on the other.
I'm new to the PST world, so help me out. This means one side of my tool is older than the other ? I'll have to be careful to treat it better, then. :D
Seriously, I got my first MT only 5 years ago. If I had gotten a PST in 1997, I probably would still be wearing it 25 years later, and other leatherman's would have seemed less attractive.

2 great tools and what a deal on the one from Craigslist :o
Awesome that you have the one you went to war with as well :o Thank you for your service :salute:
I didn't carry the pst after the war. but i got a micra for my keychain so i always had one in my pocket. After I bought 2 OG waves for my cars I gave the PST to my dad, and he had it until he died a couple of years ago and the PST made it's way back to me.
The PST II i was just surfing craigslist the end of july for leatherman's and came across that PST II with the bit adapter in FL, the guy agreed to paypal and shipped it quick. I did see somewhere east on craigslist the bit adapter and bits new in a box for $10 around the same time.
I caught another deal for a Juice CS4 in perfect shape. Just like the PST II it was in just out of the box shape for $15 as well. I missed a charge + for $30 and a Wave + for about the same.
Yes, very nice !
If they were usually available at $15, I'd have many, many PSTs coming my way… :D
I see a few PST/PST II out there on craigslist for not much, you just have to go countrywide and you have to convince them to take paypal. The Juice i bought, the guy had never used paypal so i had to convince him to sign up and figure out how to get the money to his bank account. but it worked out.

if you are near mlps…
Yes, but I'm near Marseilles, France… :D I know you're just sharing your finds with the community, but it doesn't work for non-US.
Even on the US Bay –when it's feasible, which is rare— international fare usually is another $30-35 at least. That means a $30 25-year old PST gets to be way more expensive than a new Bond. Not to mention an (un)fair amount of such purchases end up in someone else's pocket, or in Katmandu.
However, I'm so happy with my PST2 right now, the normal urges to look up used leatherman's has faded. :multi:
Of course, if a Mini ever showed up at a decent price one day (dream on !), I would probably have to amend that (me and a million others). :D

Carrying this virtually unused PST II today is really making me want a Heritage PST. I hope they remain available for another month. I have bought a Mini, a Blast, a Pulse, and a few other MTs this month, so I will probably need to wait for Christmas money to come in before I can buy one.

As someone who would absolutely love to own an original Cabelas PST from 1983, the first 500 Leatherman ever commercially sold, I’m proud to own this one from the legacy series as one of the last Pocket Survival Tools made before they were retired in 2004. This is a true legacy piece, it is a story about the heritage of a young company who never rang the bell.

Does anyone know how to take off and reapply rivets? Hollow or solid. I have some stuff I want to clean up.
-
I have always been afraid to mess with them :facepalm:
The solid rivets would more likely be able to be redone but would take grindingnoff and putting back with something similar with peening perhaps :think:
I would have no idea on how to fix the Hollow rivet ones though :ahhh
Maybe someone on here has done this though and can give better pointers than me :D :salute:
-
Let’s rally and figure this out!
-
I have worked with SAKs and removed pins from them and it is similar but the LM counterpart would be a bit more difficult because it is stainless steel vs brass :think:
I have a riveted PST in kinda rough shape that could be swapped over to knurled screws, from a working standpoint that would be ideal but from a collector standpoint not so much :whistle: :D

Ya, I wouldn’t want to change the factory makeup of the item.

Clean it up without taking it apart is the only way to preserve the originality of a riveted PST. A good soak in WD40 should do the trick and clean with a brass tooth brush if needed or fine wet dry sand paper.
-
I can't recall reading of anyone that has successfully dismantled and re-assembled a riveted JPST. Likewise I haven't ever read of a source for unused rivets for a JPST.
-
You'll never be 100% certain of a full clean on a riveted PST. I would feel very good about Steves approach. I've used a few methods including Steves. I've soaked in oil after any cleaning.
I have not heard or read anything like Greg mentions about riveted JPSTs. Rust remover and a good soak should provide some peace of mind without taking a riveted JPST or PST apart.

The PST I got from a thrift store a few months ago. It's been given a quick cleanup, but I plan to do some more intensive cleaning and modification at some point, including cutting down the snapped plier tips, and replacing the knurled screws with hex or something.
Date codes: 0395/0295
-
Seems that this PST has been in for warranty work at some point :think: the reason I say this is that the blade seems to be from an older PST than what 1995 PST should have :cheers:

Going to cut the plier jaws down so they're actually in line, as right now they're almost completely useless (see attachment for a better shot of the damage), swap the screws (or be lazy and cut a slot into them so i can just use a screwdriver), 3d print some kind of coloured "scales" and either a clip or an expanded lanyard hole, maybe swap some tools, maaaaaybe expand the recess for the nail nicks for easier folding out. Not sure what else to do as of yet, but given that I'm fairly sure it has no collector value, I want to use it as a platform for basically anything I think of.

Hi folks, got a few PST questions:
1) Took the thing completely apart to clean the heck out of it and I noticed that the blade half didn't have washers like the file half, which had two. Was the blade half supposed to have two washers as well? Do you think it would be worth it to replace them with phosphor bronze?
2) I want to try 3d printing a bit holder for the leatherman flat bits, but I don't have any dimensions. I know they're similar to 1/4" bits but cut down, but does anyone have the thin dimension that was cut? I want to try printing it and seeing how well I can get the tolerances before I buy bits.
3) The blade tip is bent, any tips for bending it back nicely?
4) Does anyone have any leads on replacement pivot screws with proper drives? Hex is best, but robertson or philips/jis/whatever is fine too.
5) does anyone know what steel the handles are made of? I'm considering some kind of refinishing or engraving or something.
-
Welcome the :MTO: :cheers:
First question you can put washers by the blade same as the file and it maybe should have already had at least 1 by it :think: if the bronze washers are thin enough then yes it would be fine :tu:
A 3D Printed bit holder would be awesome but I don't know the dimensions of those bits :dunno:
As for question 3, you can try to bend it but there is always the chance (and a very good chance unfortunately) that it will snap off instead of bend :ahhh so do that at your own risk :ahhh
No idea about different pivots unfortunately but perhaps someone will come along that does know :salute:
Thw handles are likely just 420 stainless and although tough, they can be engraved :tu: files will also be able to be used and can cut grooves in them :cheers:
I hope I was some help :hatsoff:

Hi all. I got a PST II from the antique store last weekend and cleaned it up alright but the k ife blade doesn't have much for "walk and talk", as in it stays open mostly but is very easy to close. Any suggestions on fixing this? I guess it's kind of a non issue if I use it with the handles closes but figured I'd ask anyway. Thanks a lot.

G'Day,
Congrats on an excellent Leatherman, one of my favourites. Is it just the knife blade that is loose, or all the tools on that pivot? It may be a pivot bolt that needs some tightening. Post a pic or two and it may be easier to help with a fix. If it is the pivot bolt, you may need to invest in some Leatherman specific tools from one of our inmates. Two small pliers with fine teeth can be used in a pinch, but it may mark / damage the pivots.
Cheers, Pete

Thanks guys, I took it apart to clean and the pivot is tight with no side to side movement. Just the knife seems to not want to be held open by the spring properly. I can't seem to figure out adding pictures for some reason.

Could possibly be a deformed area on the knife causing it not to engage properly :think:

How much detent do the other tools in that handle have? It is either wear on the knife blade as Poncho suggested, or the backspring has lost a bit of tension. In either case, the solution is probably removing the tools and bending the backspring a little bit.
Congratulations on the PST II :cheers:
It is a nice tool whether the blade has much detent or not

Thanks again all, I'll take it apart and try bending the spring in a little.

Good morning,
I recently acquired a PST (0996) in mostly good shape. The tools are pretty rusty and open with difficulty after a healthy oiling. I’d like to take it apart and give it a more thorough clean, but I really don’t want to foul up the process. Is there a good guide for someone who doesn’t have a whole metal shop in their garage? Or am I better off sending it to Leatherman? Thanks.
-
There are specialized wrenches for taking the knurled screws off :salute: several members here have them but it is a bit hard to get them at the moment due to things going on in the world :ahhh
They are very easy to take apart, clean and put back together otherwise :cheers:
Also, congratulations :woohoo:
-
Without taking it apart you might let it soak in some WD40 for a few days, that usually helps break rust up on thenolder tools as well :cheers:

I've got that "un-intended" acquisition from the bay delivered today :mail:
I have a few questions to you guys :salute:
First here it is right out of the box. It's very tight and seems never was used or even wiped clean from the loose BO dust...
(https://i.imgur.com/TvEKewx.jpg)
(https://i.imgur.com/QoCc7db.jpg)
(https://i.imgur.com/LCSHyXm.jpg)
(https://i.imgur.com/IRqfF9j.jpg)
(https://i.imgur.com/cV6xlIQ.jpg)
First question coming up here.
One handle has no date...
(https://i.imgur.com/3zmD9yI.jpg)
... while the other side shows 0793 ...
(https://i.imgur.com/o1WZiYg.jpg)
I thought date codes were added in '92 ?
And here's another observation. In both sheath of the two BO PSTs I've got there was already this felt pad put over the upper rivets.
Did Leatherman ship the BO PSTs sheath like this?
(https://i.imgur.com/D3RZQe2.jpg)
Then I've wiped the whole thing with Balistol and what I thought were fine scratches disappeard.
It was just in the loose BO dust. I'm super happy with it and decided this one to carry frequently :ahhh
(https://i.imgur.com/pdACDal.jpg)
(https://i.imgur.com/WJGvCaS.jpg)
Not sure if this was answered, but I believe date codes for the other handle weren’t added until 0293. It’s probable that they had plenty of unstamped BO handles to get through when yours was assembled which is why yours doesn’t have a stamp on the other handle. I’ve had 0393 on the other handle but Wowaboro has documented earlier.

Here’s a question for the PST/II owners on the forum. How common is a can opener with no edge on a PST? Could that be factory or a replacement part?
I got this PSTII off the bay a few months ago.
[ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]
Aside from a chip on the pliers tip, it looked and arrived looking almost brand new. I check as I always do the tools and quite happy with all of them. I didn’t notice until today that the can opener is not ground to an angle. It’s flat across with no edge.
[ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ] [ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ] [ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]
I haven’t had an opportunity to use the can opener on this particular PSTII and must have missed it. I used it as a bottle opener and that’s when it hit me.
What do you guys think here?
-
G'day
That is a goood looking PST II.
You have a very rare factory fault edition :D.
I have checked all the ones I have and they are all edged to one side. You can fix that if you can find an opener seperately. If it was mine, I'll pack it away or use it carefully.
Cheers, Pete

A PST?
I took what I learned, and observed reading the PST challenge and the PST sticky, and made a reasonable low offer on a relisted auction site listing. It arrived today, and other than a stained knife blade (easily cleaned via some saliva and tissue) and wear marks on the Phillips tip, this tool saw no other action.
Its date stamp is 1103 on both handles, and a advertising imprint for a Energy company in the NW USA. It did not include a sheath and can only guess this may have been a TSA confiscated item.
My PuLSE remains my oldest LM with 0800/1100 date stamps. I have a BOND and was impressed, and now with the PST in hand, and unexpected purchase, I am VERY impressed with a 20 year old tool.

Nice tools, LC and Poncho :tu:

Thanks Adam :hatsoff:

I like the size and non locking tools on my PST.
Usually it just sits around looking good.
But, tonight found a new pair of slippers and it was used to separate the tag from the right one.
My other pair is in my duffle and are used at the hospital for my daily treatments😉

My energy is zapped from me each day which was one side effect.

I picked up an interesting PST yesterday. It has all of the indicators of an early- to mid-80's PST, except it doesn't have "Pocket Survival Tool" stamped on the handle. I don't know if that's common or not, but it was the first time I have seen one like it so I grabbed it. Worse case is that I have another cool PST :tu:
(https://i.imgur.com/lOJXN8a.jpg)

That is a very cool early PST :o later ones have US REG TM 1325473
It looks to be in great shape as well :tu:
Transitional
2] Early to mid-1980’s
• Knurled screw construction
• No lanyard attachment
• Small diameter plier pivot
• LEATHERMAN USA cast into plier pivot
• No hard wire cutter notch
• One handle stamped: LEATHERMAN TOOL, US PAT 4238862, PORTLAND OR
• Other handle stamped POCKET SURVIVAL TOOL
• Inch ruler only, no metric
• No date codes
• Drop point knife blade
• Knife tang stamped LEATHERMAN USA
• Milled awl blade
• Off center screwdrivers pivot IN
• Can opener has left hand cut
-
Thank you, Steve! :tu:
The knife tang does have Leatherman USA too. I may need to pick up one of Legend's PST identification books.

My dad bought me this PST dated 4/99 for Christmas when I was 12 years old in 1999. This thing has been through a lot over the last 24 years. My most memorable memory about it is my younger brother cutting his finger to the bone when he was using it to remove an ivory from an elk he shot, and it closed on his finger. The pliers are slightly twisted but still work for what I'll use it for. It lives in a pocket in my backpack and mainly gets used for tasks that may arise in my classroom. Last week we went fishing but I forgot all my other pliers so I carried it on my belt with me. Sure brought back a lot of memories.

When I bought my Leatherman Pocket Survival tool no one knew who Leatherman was.
I had happened to read about the Pocket Survival Tool in one of the Knife magazines I subscribed to and i was in our local Montgomery Wards store one day in the sporting goods section and they had one Leatherman Pocket Survival Tool sitting on a shelf in a case and it was closed so nobody recognized what it was, but I did and I bought it on the spot.
I carried it for years before I met anyone else who had one.
"The earliest Leatherman PSTs are stamped US PAT
4238862 and LEATHERMAN TOOL on one arm, and
POCKET SURVIVAL TOOL on the other. They have a
rather primitive drop point blade, pliers with a
square profile near the pivot, an awl with ragged
mill marks, and a can opener bevel that faces out.
Early PSTs lack the small lanyard ring that is included
on every later version."
Here is a source with quite a lot of information on the PST.

I remember those days Vicman. My Dad spotted one in a Winters catalog and wanted one in the worst way. We saved up for him and got him one for Christmas '83. They were big $$ for us in those days but the idea was so revolutionary. It's hard to believe just how revolutionary nowadays, but they truly were an engineering marvel. I use Smartknives.com a lot!

Fun fact, that is sort of an error set. The last of the heritage PST’s were shipped with this sheath. Presumably, they ran out of the heritage PST sheath and these size small heritage Rebar sheaths were sent instead.

Beautiful stories shared, just caught up on this thread, started with MTSak’s PST gift from Dad and still carrying in backpack. 👍
Luv’d Barry telling getting his DAD a PST😢
So cool FB has discovered this tool, and acting like a youngster in the toy store, just as I know I get about it.
A PST II is on the radar, someday I will share one, or / and more PSTs… where are my meds?🤪

I think you are doing OK :salute: :tu: :hatsoff:
I assume you are looking for the (very rare) original stamped Cabela's PST, not the (much more common) printed Cabela's PST ?

Thank you gregozedobe.
Yes, seeking the unobtainable original stamped Cabela's PST. No idea how long it will take to land one. :ahhh

Oh my! I suspect that will the holy grail of PST models.
I know Cabela’s wa s the first retailer to place a large order of the PST, but did LM stamp them with Cabela or just the “Pocket Survival Tool”
Awl I can say FB, you are impressive, your ability to hunt down tools and acquire them is something.
It is ❤️

Thank you LC! :cheers:

It took me a 10 years to find one…

My first PST II arrived today.
I studied pictures closely, handles on each side stamped Leatherman Tool, but tool set definitely a II, Combo blade, Scissors, fish hook groove on file.
Date stamp is 02/98.

In very good ++ condition, has DuPont mark on one side only. I am thinking of leaving it in place.

Thank you, it appears to have never been used!
Had to clean brown grease from the tool pivots to make accessing the implements easier
Combo blade I do not believe ever cut paper, possible the same for scissors. And, the file has no debris on either side or marks.

I found this amazingly beautiful PST II from late '98 (1098) in new condition. I'm now wondering if I should wear it and use it or leave it in this condition.

You can delete all of my messages regarding this to keep it clean if you wish. I’ll remember that moving forward.

Pretty disappointed in myself. Not sure what I was thinking, but there was a nice "early" PST (mine are all 90s) on ebay and I put in a bid on it but it was pretty low. I want to get a nice example of an early version but it won't be that one lol.

I’ve joined (re-joined, I already had a PST) the club today with the arrival of a very clean PST II dated 0101 and 0301.
If I hadn’t built up a bit of a collection over the last couple of years, I think I’d be pretty happy with this as a main everyday carry tool.

Nice one Crunchie. Which toolset is it?

It’s a PST II.
Are there variations in them?
-
That is awesome and welcome back to the PST II club :woohoo: :like:
I love the PST II toolset except for the combo blade :whistle: :D (the Pulse is almost perfect in that aspect 8) ) I have swapped the blade out on one that I carry sometimes though :cheers: of course plenty love the combo blade though :tu:

Not the toolset but some of the tools were updated over the years on the PST and PST II, like the designs of some of the screwdrivers :tu: also, some of the diamond files have hook sharpeners but as newer ones were put together and the stock of those ran out the groove was removed because of warranty issue :cheers:
-
Mine has the groove in the diamond file.
I’m a fan of serrated and combo blades. I carry a Leatherman for odd jobs at work and at home, but also for emergencies like being first on the scene of an accident. If that happens, I want something that’ll go through seatbelts, rope, clothing…
The new to me tool is a bit of an odd one. The blades are clean and seem unused, but the pliers seem well broken in.
-
After years using Leatherman, I finally was gifted a PST2.
Never had better in the whole lineup for my use.
:multi:

If you have an edc blade anyhow, the combo blade then is an extra tool to have .

I’m in the UK, so carry options are a bit limited.
I don’t usually carry a separate knife, just a multitool.

As pictured in an earlier post from early February iirc, my PSTII is an earlier production unit. 02/98.
With the groves diamond file, scissors and Combo blade.
BUT, the handles are only stamped LEATHERMAN TOOL, no PST II stamp on either side.
I was told that the early II models were build with remaining PST handles.
I believe that would be the major variation of the II🙄

LC, I totally forgot about the handles of the PST being used as a variation (even owning one myself :whistle: :facepalm: :oops: :rofl: ) good correction :tu:

Ah, I’d forgotten some had PST, not PST II on the handles, thank you.
I guess mine is a classic mid-production example? It’s stamped PST II and has the grooves file.
I didn’t realise the handles were exactly the same apart from markings. They really are lovely tools to handle, a much neater body shape than the Bond.
-
They also redesigned or modified the scissors after the first few years. The original scissor handles have a flaw where they slip by each other. It's an easy fix as I show in this thread.

I just noticed something. I specifically remember buying the OG PST in 1993. I remember my then GF grabbing the sheath on my belt when we were walking. Kinda like a handle on a guy, she used to joke. Only now did I check the date on the handles, and it said 0695 and 0795, respectively. So they did me a dirty when I sent my PST for repairs ca 1996. Well, they did replace the plier head, a driver, and the blade, so they just picked up another set of handles and pliers.
My life is a lie :facepalm:

Sounds like LM just replaced the unit via SWAP.
A MAINTENANCE, friend broke his PST pliers and handle, LM reached out and asked what he was doing and what he used it for. The sent him a WAVE. A few years he broke that. LM reached out again, they replaced it with a Surge. The last time working with him, the PE blade was broken and scissor were loose. He said he was going to send in right after he retired. I retired before him so do not know…
