Title: Who carries a PST regularly?
Post by: b_martin on February 21, 2019, 11:39:17 PM
I was given a PST recently and man, this thing is awesome! It's so light and compact. I like carrying it more than my Wave. So, I was wondering who carries the PST as their EDC multi-tool?

I have mine in a carrier in my lunchbox everyday. Will grab picture later.

Love it!

The PST is more than capable for EDC. It's all I carried for 20 years until I found this forum looking for an updated version. I still carry one fairly regularly but I rotate through different models now.  :tu:

Not the PST, but the Sideclip. The slightly thicker handle material, slightly wider smallest flat driver, and pocket clip, make a big difference for me.

My late 90s PST rides in my wife's car.  She likes it because it's so straightforward.  No locks and easy to get at the tools.  I honestly want to do a month of carrying mine again exclusively.  For its limitations, it's exactly what it was designed to be: a pocket survival tool.

Used to carry a PST II a lot. Until I decided to break it down for parts (it had some small issues).  The PST and PST II are perfect for pocket carry and EDC; they have just enough tools to get you out of a bind with no other "junk", and it's no bigger nor heavier than a standard pocketknife.  I know I guy who carried one since the early 1990s. On another note, I need to get a PST.

The PST is a wonderful tool.  Glad you find I appealing and are carrying it.  I keep one in my cook kit.  Its slim and very capable so its earned it spot.  I like the straightforwardness of the PST unfortunately for EDC I prefer my Charge TTi.

PST II every day, and rotate a Grand Prix (SAK mod.) or SAK Huntsman with it. Skeletool CX in the bike tool bag.

The PST was my first mt and I loved it. After being without one for close to 18 years, I recently acquired one. I have been carrying it recently and love everything about it.

I do, it's my favourite multitool of all time. I have three... well two and enough spares to make another. All of mine are from 94 (for no apparent reason) and have a lovely vintage feel to them, both the handle and tool stock has a lovely thickness and all the implements are nicely tooled - none of that rounded on one side pressed nonsense of the later tools.

Have carried a PST for 25+ years in my pocket, was wanting to get a new 1, they was discontinued, so i just lived with what I have. Then seen them reintroduced for $150, think I'll not be replacing it, with a new 1. BUT, i did find a like new 1 with a broken tweeky screwdriver in a pawn shop for $15 last week....

I don't mind using the PST in my camp cook set.  Its come in handy for small adjustments for my stoves.  Its slim and has just enough tools to get the job done.  Nice PSTs Max.  The PST2 is a good one with the addition of scissors.

 :iagree: It's a great little tool really. It used to bother me that it didn't have a saw, but had  a file instead. Then I figured, well actually, there's more chance of me having a folding saw on me anyway rather than a file. Who carries a file on its own (actually, probably most of you lot - bunch of freaks) or a folding file when out and about?

I really wanted to put a saw in my PST, but I feel like the locking saw in my Wave is much safer.
