Title: ~ The Great PST Challenge ~
Post by: SteveC on July 15, 2019, 03:50:29 PM
The one that started it all  :salute:

Seems silly that we have never had a PST/PST II Challenge so let's change that.

I carried a PST for over 20 years for work. Never felt like I was missing anything until I joined this forum and started accumulation other tools. I still feel like the PST is a perfectly capable tool for EDC.

I'm thinking November or December but that could change if the consensus is for a different month.



Who wants to join in   :pok:

I think minor mods  would be okay like an awl in a PST II or or PE blade swap etc. but early days so we can decide.

I don't have a PST. :cry: How about allowing a piece from the competition? I have a Gerber Military Provisional Tool. They were a direct response to the PST, developed to compete with the PST for military contracts.  Otherwise I have enough time to get a PST or a PST II and I have always wanted one.

Like many or most, the LM PST was my first multitool. I gave it away after acquiring a SOG Paratool and then a LM Wave. At the time, it seemed like I didn't need it, but I've long regretted getting rid of the PST.  :oops:

I'll go hunt one down for this challenge. Time to put a few things right........

I dismantled my PST II to mod, and lost a couple pieces. But, I'm in; provided I get another. The PST is really good for it's function to weight ratio. They are good tools. I know a guy who owns one so old, it doesn't have date codes, and he's carried it since the tool was new. The PST is great in that it's the same size and weight as a pocket knife, but contains the right tools to perform an emergency mechanical repair. I really liked carrying my PST II, but never had a PST. They're still occasionally found cheap on eBay, so I guess time to pick one up.

To me, the MPT is a true ripoff. I feel Gerber created it specifically to keep LM from getting the military contract. Who knows what we'd be seeing today if LM had secured the contract.

I still dun quite get how the MPT was awarded the contract.. Dun get me wrong, I do kinda like the MPT but its a real pain to use...

I managed to get my hands on a PST only recently, a couple of months ago, but fell in love with it instantly, and it didn't take long for me to hunt down a PST II as well, as scissors are a must for me. Love that too. Count me in!

Right... in preparation for this, I've swapped the original phillips driver back into my favourite PST  (I'd previously put in a newer offset one). The blades reprofiled, but that was a repair for a broken tip, but I do have a spare clip-point I can swap in. I take it that's okay?

I guess I should verify my ‘96 PST is eligible??

I carried it from 1996 to 2002, maybe 2004? When I got my first Wave (still have it...) I carried it instead of my PST.

Back in those days I never wore a belt and needed a way to clip the PST to my pocket, so I welded one on.

The clip has been on it since late 1996...

Is this allowed?  The rest of the tool is bone stock.

This will be the actual PST I will use for majority of this challenge...

(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190718/dcc90a46142daf16d6bbf4176997951d.jpg)

Actually got it cheap with the intention of being a parts donor for my PST 2 (which had a broken small flat driver and a slightly misaligned plier head)... The shortened and regrinded small flat driver now on this PST... as well as the battle proven plier head...

It currently gets some edc rotation time (but not as much as the Knifeless Kick mod) . Hopefully in the future it will become knifeless...

 I'll leave the poll going for another day but it's looking like November is the popular choice.

Title: Re: ~ The Great PST Challenge ~
Post by: SteveC on July 18, 2019, 09:33:56 PM
So I'm starting to think that maybe December would be better. There are so many challenges going on this year with two big ones in October (Axe Challenge and the Crunch)  it might be nice for a month break before the first ever PST challenge.

So for  the people that voted November would December be a deal breaker ?


The poll is set so you can change your vote, I changed mine to December.

Cleaned and waxed the sheath. I think it looks and feels pretty good.

I went a bit geeky and cleaned the rivets and snap. The front snap was gunked up a bit and hard to read. Cleaned that....then used some Flitz metal polish and a a Dremel to shine it up nicely. I don't remember them this shiny right out of the box..... ;)

(https://i.imgur.com/dsGNVS7.jpg)


Anyway, for an older PST, the sheath looks pretty good. The spa treatment has made it feel fairly supple. I may work with it a bit more, but this PST is challenge ready.   :salute:

For the Challenge you will carry and use a PST as your only Multitool for 30 days. You will also  post a picture everyday. You can carry another knife in addition but try to use the PST as your primary tool. There may be other things as well but those are the general guidelines  :tu:

 :iagree: But looking at the pics from the PST's that are available to buy I noticed so many differences between them so there are at least 25 different PST models besides the PST II, so I have a long way to go before my collection of PST's (Leatherman Tool) is complete.

Ready.  I just got mine for the challenge in the mail today. It looked to me like I was buying an unused, near mint tool (seller didn't actually state that, however). Blade is scratched up pretty bad, and the tip is chipped. The tool has scarring that suggests it was rarely, if ever oiled. Action is rough, but not loose; even after a thorough cleaning and oil with gun oil (typically so thick, it fixes any "action" problems). Knife had quite a bit of beige colored debris--I suspect it's plastic. Cleaned it off the file with a file card, and out of the pliers. Suspect whoever had the tool used it in maintenance for Premix (which the tool is branded for; was a safety award).

Date codes are September 1996/December 1996. Which suggests the tool was either given out Christmastime or in 1997.

Always good to have backups. That, and I couldn't help resisting the low price of this lot.  During the MiniChamp challenge--I used the worse condition backup (I'd messed up the blades sharpening, and had broken the factory scales; stuck with loose-fitting replacements off a Classic that I need to glue still) about 5 times; and multiple times; I used my Super Tool in place of a missing Super Tool 300 during the ST300 challenge.

Got a pre-1993 model with the patent number and cutters without the hard wire notch for $24 shipped. Hoped I'd get it for under $20, but I decided I'd raise my max bid to $25 given my math still added up to a decent deal ($20 for the Schrade, $10 for the Gerber, $5 each for the SAKs, $20 for the LM) Not only that, but an Ecoline Bantam, an Ecoline Waiter, a Classic SD, a Schrade Walden USA/Parker Stockman, a decent Gerber folder, and a cheap lockback. Will definitely be using a Classic during this challenge, and maybe a Waiter too as backups. The Leatherman can opener works just fine. Just opened a can of cranberries with it fixing lunch today instead of going back to my room to grab a SAK. No problem at all. But it does tend to puncture bottle caps when opening cans with it--thus, a better can opener than a bottle opener.

I've used the PST can opener a bunch of times and really like it.  The fit of the screwdrivers is different from the SAK, in my opinion.  I am just used to how the SAK feels, not that the screwdrivers are better.  My biggest love of the PST is it's size.  It really is a pocket survival tool!

Easy peazy.  Does the PST need to be the EXCLUSIVELY carried knife/MT, or just the only MT?  And must it be our one and only cutting tool for everything, such as kitchen and food tasks as well?  The last monthly challenge I did over on BCUSA was a one-knife challenge along those lines.

I often carry a Kershaw Skyline as a dedicated folder in tandem with an MT, but can easily resort to just the PST.

Originally before seeing the challenge thread, I was going to carry a PST along with my dads old cross pioneer and AA maglite as an honorium to what was his EDC (although now I think he carried an original Supertool, not a PST). 

Just want to make sure I follow the rules.  Use a knife or driver of some kind everyday, so this should be a non-issue.

You can carry another knife (Traditional or Modern) but no other multi tool. I would consider the pioneer a Multi tool and would discourage that or any other SAK. Having said that if someone absolutely needed scissors I would say ......

For sure, the Pioneer is indeed an MT in my eye as well.  So I think I'll go with the PST in belt sheath (it also fits in most watch/coin pockets which is awesome), and a small dedicated folder.  Maybe some days I'll go solo-PST.  Scissors are a great tool, convenient but usually not absolutely necessary.  The small pen blade works just fine. 

Should be a fun month!

Guys, anyone with some surplus original PST blades willing to part with one on the cheap?

Ahead of the challenge I was just playing around with my PST's this morning, and there's this thing that just bugs me a bit.

As I'm not a big fan of half-serrated blades, I replaced the original one on my PST II with a PE one from a first gen PST, but that's been broken and reground, perfectly functional, but doesn't look very nice.

It's not a vital issue, just a small annoyance, I thought it's worth asking, but I can can live with what I have as well.

I have an extra combo blade :facepalm: :D the PE blades are harder to come by because many feel the way you do about the combo blades unfortunately  :ahhh it took me a long while to track a PE blade down :oops:

For what it's worth, the regrounding job that you did looks done well :salute:

the PE blades are harder to come by because many feel the way you do about the combo blades unfortunately  :ahhh it took me a long while to track a PE blade down :oops:

Really? And here I was thinking the original PST was sold by boatloads so it would be pretty easy to find one from junk/donor ones. I guess I'll just have to accept that my PST II has a special knife blade.  :D

A whole PST can be tracked down no problem it is just the blade by itself is hard to get :D if you don't mind buying g a whole PST and swapping the blade out then you should be able to do that much more easily  :cheers:

Sure, but that's not on the cheap then, is it? :) I guess with shipping this would not come under $40, and for me that's not worth it for one PE blade.

My first PST arrived a few days ago! :ahhh

Since I no longer have a working PayPal account, it was kindly gifted to me by a fellow member here :dd:

Crappy pic, but left the next day for a weekend retreat to the sea.

(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20191110/bc77e7fb353f5f857f92fc9a80d30740.jpg)

I was amazed at how close it is to a 91mm size.
Keeping in mind it offers medium sized pliers at nearly the same size, I perfectly see why the PST became such a smash hit and is still a beloved tool today.

Maybe one of the old Velcro sheaths would suit you better.

Yeah that might be perfect.

I have often thought about using the more rounded nylon sheath for my PST. Just my OCD of wrong sheath wouldn’t like it.

$21 though, hmm.
Title: Re: ~ The Great PST Challenge ~
Post by: HarleyXJGuy on November 10, 2019, 03:26:37 PM
Tried it out with a regular LM sheath that came with my Rebar I think.

Kinda swam around in there by itself but left enough room for some OC Pioneer.

Big congrats on the PST, Nick :tu: the PST has something about it with it's compact form and great utility that I am afraid has been lost in some of the newer tools :ahhh Of course the trade off is more utility and sometimes that is a good trade but it is nice to just throw a PST in your pocket and forget about it :D

Hope you can find a sheath you like, Harley :tu: The PST and OC Pioneer do look rather nice together but hopefully the OC doesn't get scratched in there :ahhh :D

I have a rather bad track record with MTo Challenges lately. But I could see myself carrying the PST / PST II for December, so I'll  put my name down.

Where does the Flair stand? Does it count as a PST -  Posh Survival Tool

Day 1

Been looking forward to this challenge and good to see all these Day 0 pix, everyone is ready to jump right into it! :like:

PST is the very first plier-MT gifted to me when I was young, and I did EDC it often way back in the days.  Now decades later and here we are again with the PST, what a pleasure that is!

Day 1

Readying my PST for the challenge I touched up the knife blade, now it's hair popping, also tightened the plier pivots, they felt a bit looser than I like. Thank god for Loki's wrenches! While I was at it, I tightened the Turn Box's lid screw with the Phillips driver.

PST: "Brrrr... it's cold out here!"
Owner: "You'll warm up once you start working."
PST: "Have mercy! I'm retired. I'll do posing pics, but no more!"

I was looking forward to  getting back with my Spirit, but you guys have such great  SPIRIT I'll join in here.  Now for the real shock...
I have NEVER carried a PST.  I got mine from Folderbeholder about a year ago as a curiosity and if your going to have a MT collection it has to have a PST.  I've fondled handled it a few times just never actually used it. 
So here goes.

Day 1

As I never EDC'd my PST yet it's pouch was stiff and dry from laying around un-used for 22 years.
So first thing today I gave it a good treatment with some Balistol.

Later on the PST helped me getting access to the pipes of the windscreen washer of our car which wasn't working.

We've got this new (used) car 2 month ago.
The former owner somehow lost the lid of the washer-liquit container wich I replace straight away. So I figured some dirt may have gotten into the washer-liquit container due to that and plugged-up the nozzles.
So I've unplugged the pipe and let it pump out into a container... and look what it spit out  :facepalm:
They barely fit through the pipe.

Day 1/30

Went on a small hike with GF and daughter.
Not the best weather but still better than staying at home.

Took my PST2 with me, cutting stuff for a small snack on the trail. Wanted to whittle an Atlatl, but the half serrated blade is...well...not the best for that.
Had to carry on with the small neck knife that I found in my backpack.
(and sorry for the crappy pic..only phone in pocket...)

Will be the first time for me to actually EDC a PST.
Recently I've found myself appreciating the old style Leathermans over the newer ones... completing a full loop back (started with a Supertool in 1995)  :dunno:

I think PST really does have its appeal--I love its slender build and simple appearance.  Back then I have grown so accustomed to its look that it took me years to eventually transition to Wave/Charge.

Day 1/30

Went on a small hike with GF and daughter.
Not the best weather but still better than staying at home.

Took my PST2 with me, cutting stuff for a small snack on the trail. Wanted to whittle an Atlatl, but the half serrated blade is...well...not the best for that.
Had to carry on with the small neck knife that I found in my backpack.
(and sorry for the crappy pic..only phone in pocket...)

Nothing beats a nice day out  :like:

Far more impressed with the drivers and elegant simplicity than expected.  This may well end up being a fairly easy challenge after all.

Day 1:

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

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

Here it is, pictured with two Marlboro PSTs I picked up...
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20191202/2bfb3362b414106ddea0e19f476bac52.plist)

Day 1:

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

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


(https://i.imgur.com/mu65KbQ.jpg)


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

Opened packet containing cover.

Mine 07/96 both handles...

Fuzz Day 2... Part Un!

Even before I got breakfast on the go this morning, I noticed a job I'd neglected to do last time I was up  -  a couple of curtain hold back thingys needed putting up. Unfortunately, the phillips driver wasn't quite up to the job. While it had the reach, the thickness of the handle inside the holey bit of the bracket thingy was snug and caused the screw to rotate at a funny angle - about 20° - this did not feel right at all*. Luckily though, I had the tool adapter with me, which comfortably completed the task no bother at all.  :2tu:

Day 02 (bonus material):

your coffee looks shocking.  :pok:


Good eye, Fuzzy! 

I'm known for my extraordinarily good tea; however, it is true that I make shockingly good coffee.

Since you asked, I'll share my secrets:

1. Start with whole beans. These (below) are locally roasted and I know they are very fresh.
2. Grind the beans just prior to using. Beans start to lose their flavor as soon as they are ground. In camp use the handle of your hatchet like a mortar and a mug or bowl as a pestle. Here in the kitchen, an electric grinder does the trick in mere seconds.
3. Use fresh water. None of that Scottish bog water, mind you. Use pure mountain water (hopefully collected by wholesome virgins at dawn, but failing that other pure mountain waters will do.)
4. Add a pinch of salt to the water and bring it to the boil. Yes, boil the water first.
5. Add the coffee grounds to the water and boil for 4 minutes. Do not rush this step in your excitement to have the best coffee of your life; it must be 4 minutes. 4 minutes and 10 second is OK.
6. Let the boiled coffee rest for a minute or two. (Yes, more waiting, but use the time to hone the edge of your PST.)
7. Now pour the coffee into a mug and enjoy. If the odd coffee ground is bothersome, you could strain it through a sieve, but then.....maybe you shouldn't be drinking coffee in the first place........



(https://i.imgur.com/Klb5Pan.jpg)



The coffee pot above looks like a percolator, but it isn't. I pulled the percolator bits out and tossed them in the bin. They are unnecessary . My other secret is to never wash the coffee pot. I rinse it out with cold water, but that's all. Never any soap.

Now you know my secrets and can make a shockingly great cup of Joe any time, any where. You are welcome!   :D

This particular one will fit the PST, PST II, Minitool and the original Supertool, IIRC (maybe I've forgotten some?)
There is a Universal version of the adapter which also fits other models (in addition to those mentioned above, OG Wave I believe, plus probably others) and which I have tried to lay my greedy hands on, so far without success. Maybe others know more about the details.

Yep, that time of year again  :tu:

Day 2  You guys get clumping with these? I'm not fussy either way, in fact i quite like it but this is the only MT i own that does it, to be fair when i'm carrying a Leatherman it's usually a Sideclip so this PST doesn't see any use whatsoever (since i broke the pliers), i'm guessing a bath and some oil wont hurt  :dunno:

  You guys get clumping with these?

Clumping?  Yes.

I'm not fussy about clumping either. In fact, I think clumping is helpful with accessing some if the smaller tools.   Perfect? No. But perfectly acceptable in this case...for my uses.

Day 02 (bonus material):


Good eye, Fuzzy! 

I'm known for my extraordinarily good tea; however, it is true that I make shockingly good coffee.

Since you asked, I'll share my secrets:

1. Start with whole beans. These (below) are locally roasted and I know they are very fresh.
2. Grind the beans just prior to using. Beans start to lose their flavor as soon as they are ground. In camp use the handle of your hatchet like a mortar and a mug or bowl as a pestle. Here in the kitchen, an electric grinder does the trick in mere seconds.
3. Use fresh water. None of that Scottish bog water, mind you. Use pure mountain water (hopefully collected by wholesome virgins at dawn, but failing that other pure mountain waters will do.)
4. Add a pinch of salt to the water and bring it to the boil. Yes, boil the water first.
5. Add the coffee grounds to the water and boil for 4 minutes. Do not rush this step in your excitement to have the best coffee of your life; it must be 4 minutes. 4 minutes and 10 second is OK.
6. Let the boiled coffee rest for a minute or two. (Yes, more waiting, but use the time to hone the edge of your PST.)
7. Now pour the coffee into a mug and enjoy. If the odd coffee ground is bothersome, you could strain it through a sieve, but then.....maybe you shouldn't be drinking coffee in the first place........

The coffee pot above looks like a percolator, but it isn't. I pulled the percolator bits out and tossed them in the bin. They are unnecessary . My other secret is to never wash the coffee pot. I rinse it out with cold water, but that's all. Never any soap.

Now you know my secrets and can make a shockingly great cup of Joe any time, any where. You are welcome!   :D

No, no, no, no, no... no. You didn't agitate before pouring! If you don't agitate, how you going to create the microbubbles!?!  :ahhh

(The spout of the coffeepot has a 'strainer' that does aerate the coffee to a degree. But I'm talking about coffee......not your fancy-pants Euro-espressos and the like. We don't worry about 'crema' here in Montana.......

Day 2.

Needed to cover a "window" made out of an old grille crate on the other chicken house.  Located the piece of plywood cut for the job, only to learn that the screw head was busted off. Thus, I had to drill a hole in the other end. Didn't think the PST awl was long enough, so I used the awl on the Pioneer I've issued to my farm coat this winter, then the PST's Phillips to put another screw I'd scrounged in there on.

Snow is much worse than when I took this picture. Barely an inch this morning--now close to 3.

 :popcorn: Looking forward to them!  And since you'd be posting 30 different PST over the month, I would humbly suggest to maybe include a 1 liner(or few words) summary next to each serial handle numbers, to tell folks what's special/story/unique about that particular one. :D

Awl this talk about coffee has proven too much for me... mind you, my craving around this time of the morning is for a more sophisticated brew of Italian origin.

Day 3

One can, given the Tool Adapter and a 1/4" hex mount head from a now defunct tread tapping tool, also use the PST as an impromptu drill. Just imagine a 4 mm HSS drill bit in the head. Possibilities are boundless  >:D
A Drill...now that is way to cool!  :like: :cheers:

Hello Day 3
There is a lot of talk about coffee in this thread, Coffee is not for me , it does not like me too much. As a result I am a firm believer in  and partaker of   the amber nectar of the Gods
and my LM's are often used performing my favourite use for them, cracking open a cold one.

 :cheers:

Used PST to assemble an Ikea shelf, it's been a long while since I last used the philips on PST and some practice and patience was much needed to be efficient with the non locking tool.  In some way, it kinda remind me how far MT industry has progressed since then.

Day 3/30

Had a evening with my colleagues yesterday, bowling and stuff. Slept in a cheap motel.
Somehow it feels like every other model has a loose showerhead. Been fixing them all over the world.
Phillips to the rescue, even though it was a bit small for the screw.
As I got the older version of the tool with the more centered screwdrivers I really understand why LM did improve them. When pressing and turning hard they tend to fold in.

Over the day only minor tasks like opening waterbottles (used the whole closed tool as a lever).

Unfortunatelly no pic in action, but I made an evening shot with it inside the small Benchmade Nylon sheath I carry it in.

Day 3/30

Had a evening with my colleagues yesterday, bowling and stuff. Slept in a cheap motel.
Somehow it feels like every other model has a loose showerhead. Been fixing them all over the world.
Phillips to the rescue, even though it was a bit small for the screw.
As I got the older version of the tool with the more centered screwdrivers I really understand why LM did improve them. When pressing and turning hard they tend to fold in.

Over the day only minor tasks like opening waterbottles (used the whole closed tool as a lever).

Unfortunatelly no pic in action, but I made an evening shot with it inside the small Benchmade Nylon sheath I carry it in.
Nice  :like:

Straightening a split pin on a mower wheel for removal, a job i have done countless times over the years using everything from Spirit to Surge and many others in between, it's the first time i have ever had this happen  :(  The broken bit is the one with the tip that had snapped off previously so i can only assume it was worse than i thought and it was weakened or cracked further up also   :think:

I believe the term is, it's been Pabloed  :facepalm:

Thanks guys, i thought i might have had another one but must be mistaken, can't see another so will just continue on with this  :tu:

Not sure how this picture will come out but there seems to be a darker patch of metal, to the right of red dots which may indicate it was already fractured some time ago, split pin was the straw that broke the camels back i'm thinking

Nasty break Borg  :oops:
I would still try to send it to Leatherman for warranty
and you will probably get a brand new tool from them  :tu:

:iagree: I would do the same.

If i bought it new then yes i would send it but i didn't so i don't feel it's my warranty, hard to explain but i know what i mean, i bought it sight unseen with no warranty, i'm happy to let it go  :tu:

Tightened the handle/tab on the cupboard and realized how good we have it nowadays with locking tools on most MT's, as the Phillips folded when I applied force from the wrong direction. No biggie, but I'll just have to keep this in mind when using the PST. Also some mail opening again as well.

Loads of great uses today.  Great photo Fuzzy, just missed your Holmsian Styled Dirty Clay Pipe, sure would have lloked good there beside another true classic like the PST.

Borg that's a tough break in every way.  I must say I admire your sense of Morals and Ethics reguarding the warranty and your steadfast commitment to seeing the challenge through.  Shows to me you are a person of TURE CHARACTER that will stand for what he belives in and not fall for anything.  :hatsoff: :hatsoff:

Spent most of the day in a cold dark room fighting a migraine so no use today, just a simple photo.

All this talk of food has made my PST hungry, and it is hatching plans for later today.

No use so far today, but yesterday it helped unscrew a Phillips holding screw on the rim of the headlight on the Guzzi. No pics for lack of hands, alas. The intention is to swap out the parabolic mirror for a LED insert, but first I'll have to test the latter to see if it's bright enough for my tastes and whether it fits inside the rim.

Screw it!
Fixing small stuff in the kitchen once I arrived back home.
Screwing the new dishwasher to the kitchen board (old one died while doing his duty, only 8 years old, not fixable without large costs ...) and handle of a pan was lose.

While doing minor cutting jobs all day long with this tool It is a bit awkward to use.
Open sheath, get tool, open tool, open blade, close tool, cut, open tool, close blade, close tool, put back to sheath.
While carrying any other folder there are some shortcuts in this process.
Pull knife out of pocket with lanyard, open, cut, close, store away.

While I usually have a tool somewhere arount, I prefer a knife for everything else. Nothing large, Huntsman or SI or BSA type knife these days...maybe I am just not used to it. Lets see.

Funny how many of us switched to the PST II today, I did so too. Opened the monthly dose of popular science.

And a question to PST II owners: how often do your scissors misfire? I mean when the arm slips over that little tab, like on my photo. Mine does that about 2-3 times out of 10. Since I only have one PST II, mine sample size is minimal. :) Help me out, is this a typical issue or is mine a bit worn and/or is the pivot loose?

Oi you, how dare you!  :twak: I'll have you know my pipe's a rather lovely cherry wood billiard - as straight n British as you can ruddy-well get... In fact I'm pretty sure the Queen's got something similar... Unfortunately, I've gone and left it down south though...  :facepalm:

Hope you're migraine clears up.  :tu:   :cheers:

Someone told me years ago that the best place to find the old clay pipes is next to field gates , i just thought it was nonsense but you know how many clay pipes i have found while digging strainer holes over the years, i'm starting to think there is some truth in that, either that or they were so easily broken and there were so many of them if you dig a hole anywhere you will find one  :dunno:  they reckon the farmer would be leaning on the gate yakking away to the neighbour, breaks the pipe and tosses it to the side, to be re discovered 100 years later, anyway..

Funnily enough (and I'm not making this up) the best places to find old clay pipes, or rather bits of them, is old farm midden sites. My brother and I used to find loads of them as children mostly stems, but occasionally a mouth piece or very rarely an intact bowl  :ahhh... Ah, life was simpler back then... (sigh)...

It only happens on the very early PST II, Leatherman tweaked the design in later ones. If you happen to get one the scissors are an easy fix, five minutes with a small hobby file.The scissors on these early models had a design flaw which caused the handle to slip past the stop when cutting anything heavier than paper. LM later fixed the problem by putting a bevel on both pieces. I modified these scissors in the same way so they work perfectly.

Later, I used the can opener to get at some chopped tomatoes to use in a pasta sauce. (Yes, Fuzzy, a Puttanesca sauce, extra-spicy.)

Day 5

My little one is having a small fever after the flu shot, and the battery on the digital thermometer is dying.  I was so close to pull out a small philips to cheat, since there was no way the larger one will fit.  Then I remember this tiny flat head and it worked like a charm. :D

When I was carrying a PST II, the scissors struggled with heavy material (i.e clamshell packaging) until I did the mod with a file. I still have it, in pieces minus a few parts (had planned to mod in some SOG parts, and failed, miserably), but I need to put the PST II blade in this PST. The blade was the only tool that seemed to be abused on this too--tip shows signs of having a tiny amount of it broken off, and is badly chipped near the tip.

Day 4: Cut up old paper health insurance card to avoid mistaking it for my current one (AGAIN!).

My favorite tool on older Leathermans!  :like:  Back during mechatronics class, the transformer to an electronics projects kit we were using bit the dust. My instructor looked at it to try to figure what blew inside of it, and couldn't get it open (triangle head tamperproof screws). Pulled out my PST II, and was able to use the fine screwdriver stuck in at an angle to get the triangle screws out.

Day 04:


Busy day for the little PST.

I managed to jab a dozen or so splinters into the little finger of my right hand. I tried using the blade of the PST to scrape them out, which worked to a degree......

(https://i.imgur.com/WiM0bpD.jpg)



Now where is a SAK with T&T........   ;)


Later, I used the can opener to get at some chopped tomatoes to use in a pasta sauce. (Yes, Fuzzy, a Puttanesca sauce, extra-spicy.)

(https://i.imgur.com/VcPD1pS.jpg)




A bit to my surprise, this can opener worked amazingly well. I didn't recall these openers working this nicely!  :tu:

Like that poem in the first half  :facepalm:

About the LM can opener, these work best for me.
The Vic. ones not as much  :tu:

It only happens on the very early PST II, Leatherman tweaked the design in later ones. If you happen to get one the scissors are an easy fix, five minutes with a small hobby file.The scissors on these early models had a design flaw which caused the handle to slip past the stop when cutting anything heavier than paper. LM later fixed the problem by putting a bevel on both pieces. I modified these scissors in the same way so they work perfectly.


https://forum.multitool.org/index.php?topic=62441.msg1163025#msg1163025

Yep, mine is definitely a very early piece with 0496 ad 0596 stamps. This looks to be a great fix, I will try it for sure, I just hope I won't smurf up the angles of the bevels! Thanks, Steve!

Boring day at work, mostly meetings and paperwork :twak: :ahhh

Doing christmas stuff in the evening. Opening incence cone packages Ive bought on my way home and removed burned down candles on the christmas pyramid.
German things. Not sure if anyone outside the country knows.

Oh and I got a "new" PST in a new to me worn out sheath.
No date codes, only one side of handle stamped with Leatherman Too, Portland OR and US REG TM number. And the more pointy blade plus no hardwire notch. have to look for time of production.

The pliers are somewhat stiff, wire cutters grind on each other making it hard to open when closed. Anyone got an idea how to fix it?  :think:

Funnily enough (and I'm not making this up) the best places to find old clay pipes, or rather bits of them, is old farm midden sites. My brother and I used to find loads of them as children mostly stems, but occasionally a mouth piece or very rarely an intact bowl  :ahhh... Ah, life was simpler back then... (sigh)...

Might be something in that, i found this one stuck in a dyke next to an old midden, must have been a great place to stand and chat  :tu:

(https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49174426501_01213de36c_z.jpg)

Another good place is old field drains, the clay pipe type, you know,... the ones that got destroyed when the weight of horses changed to the weight of tractors, dig down to clear it and your almost sure to find one, broken of course, man they must have smoked like chimneys back then  :D

Day 5/30

Boring day at work, mostly meetings and paperwork :twak: :ahhh

Doing christmas stuff in the evening. Opening incence cone packages Ive bought on my way home and removed burned down candles on the christmas pyramid.
German things. Not sure if anyone outside the country knows.

Oh and I got a "new" PST in a new to me worn out sheath.
No date codes, only one side of handle stamped with Leatherman Too, Portland OR and US REG TM number. And the more pointy blade plus no hardwire notch. have to look for time of production.

The pliers are somewhat stiff, wire cutters grind on each other making it hard to open when closed. Anyone got an idea how to fix it?  :think:
Hope they weren’t the type of meeting that put one to sleep!  :cheers:

Another good place is old field drains, the clay pipe type, you know,... the ones that got destroyed when the weight of horses changed to the weight of tractors, dig down to clear it and your almost sure to find one, broken of course, man they must have smoked like chimneys back then  :D

Post by: JasonJ on December 06, 2019, 02:00:18 AM
Alright... Haven't posted any pics for each day yet, even though I have them.

I've used (or attempted to use) the pst for things such as opening battery compartment doors on toys, laptop case screws, basic knife stuff, minor pliers work, other small screwdriver-ing....

Ugh... It's such a great design, but I just don't love the pst in use as I did in theory or just playing with it.  More than half of the tasks I tried to do with it, I had to go get a different tool to do it. 

Granted, all of these tasks were screwdriver related. Either the small flat driver was too slippy, too large, or the Phillips was too large for the screw. 

Pliers action, knife blade, file... Large flat for opening a can of wood stain- worked fantastic.

Sheath carry rode too high. Pocket carry was uncomfortable. I so need a pocket clip on this thing.

I'm not sure I'm going to finish up the month here all.  This is definitely a challenge.  I'm good with that, but it's getting in the way of getting actual work done at times.  It's frustrating.

Day 5; sheath carry. Handmade sheath that came with a lot of SAKs (and did not fit a one of the knives in the lot; in fact the seller had shoved a knife in a sheath so tightly, I had to take pliers and yank it out by the lanyard ring)--it is mostly used to carry a 100mm 1942 Elsener Soldier. It fits the PST like a glove.

I do have a sheath I made from a cheap Hobby Lobby kit that is made specifically for the PST, but the clip tends to disengage a lot. Thus, I don't use it much.

Fuzz Day 6

Coppiced some Hazels this morning. The PST couldn't contribute much to the activity due to it not having a saw...

... but it still looked pretty none the less.

Refilling the birds feeders. Used the file, mostly for it's length, to clean out the old, wet, compacted seed and debris from the bottom of the feeder. If allowed to build up, the debris clogs the opening and prevents seed from flowing out as designed. A bit of a design flaw, but the PST helped with the usual work-around.

Day 6.

First thing I threw in my pocket this morning was the PST. Tip on the blade of mine is damaged (literally, blade is the only tool that was used hard), so I used the awl to slit off the plastic safety band off the Listerine. Used my folder to cut the childproofing tabs off, then the file to smooth the bottom of the cap.

So can it be re-profiled or bad enough to be sent back?

I think that if I were to use an angled system, it's easily fixed. Maybe the blade is 1/8 or less short. But, the part of the blade that is not chipped I was able to easily sharpen.

And, if I wanted to, I have a spare PST II serrated blade to swap in.

Got this old Stockman yesterday. The spey blade was sticking up above the liners a bit so I used the diamond file on the PST II to take a little of off the kick to lower it.

Well, I I used a measured,slower motion not like with a regular caplifter, perhaps that's the trick. Just for comparison's sake today I tried the one on my Charge that I had out for a quick strop, and I had a much harder time with the opener/caplifter, it did not want to grab onto the cap as nicely as the one on the PST.

I think that if I were to use an angled system, it's easily fixed. Maybe the blade is 1/8 or less short. But, the part of the blade that is not chipped I was able to easily sharpen.

And, if I wanted to, I have a spare PST II serrated blade to swap in.
Oh wow, you have a few options then! Cool  :cheers:

Here is a vanity pic with the PST's companion, my PM2.

Trying to sharpen my PST on a sharpmaker, supposedly LM sharpening angle is 16 per side, but I found one side of my PST was sharpened at around 20 deg, while the other side is a little more than 15 deg.  Didn't want to sit thru a long session of hand sharpening, out came the worksharp and I just tried to sharpen it to the best of my ability.  It turns out alright at the end.

Day 8

Trying to sharpen my PST on a sharpmaker, supposedly LM sharpening angle is 16 per side, but I found one side of my PST was sharpened at around 20 deg, while the other side is a little more than 15 deg.  Didn't want to sit thru a long session of hand sharpening, out came the worksharp and I just tried to sharpen it to the best of my ability.  It turns out alright at the end.

That should do Comis  :tu:
Before starting this challenge I actually didn't use my PST really. The blades edge was polished away, and it wasn't symmetrical. So I corrected it...

That's cool you could correct the grind! 

I tried to do the same thing once on a Benchmade Bugout with a sharpmaker(which I have total confidence in using), but the grind on both side never gets even despite my very best effort, it finally dawn on me that the primary grind was uneven which is totally annoying.  I end up have to hand grind it unevenly just to match the uneven primary grind.

Day 9.

Nothing, as I spent most of the day getting college work done. Due to the final exam for this period (still have the next class, which covers the other half of the accounting textbook, which starts in Jan.), the due date was moved up a day. Finished a quiz and homework today. Had a problem getting an answer right in the homework, which set me back a couple days.

 :like:  Not long after I was shown the original AFO, I got hooked on Benchmade. I eventually bought a Mini Griptillian.    VA almost fully legalized the production, sale, and carry of automatics (currently, only military and law enforcement can buy and carry them, but collectors can own them), yet the governor vetoed the bill.  I have two autos on my list, for sure, that I will buy if VA legalizes autos (or more likely) I move to a state that allows them--the Spyderco Rescue Autonomy and the AFO. Both are designed to work hard, all while looking good.

Right on Poncho!  I just wish that the Rebar was made of the same quality steel that the PST was.  Like you, I haven't needed anything else but the PST.  In fact, its size has made it a real pleasure to carry again.

Although I kinda miss the one hand blade from time to time, I am a big fan of the form factor of PST.  The simple streamlines just make it looks elegant in its own way.

Day 10.

Reloaded my Arrow M25 stapler. Used the pliers to slide a clip of staples out. Arrow is probably best known for their T-50 tacker (which my Granddad has--it gets used for everything around here), but in the '60s and '70s they produced a line of office staplers. My Granddad got a light blue/cream one (which is in my other desk, in a drawer amidst a bunch of junk) when he was working in an office at a dye plant in the late '60s. I found it in a cupboard, then the spring-loaded "magazine" that feeds the staples in a box of hardware.  This one (black/cream) I found fairly cheaply when looking for staples. The reason I feel Arrow failed is because the S-25PP staples used are narrower than a standard office staple. They are slightly different from mini stapler staples as well.  I found 10 boxes of 2400  for $20 and figured that was a pretty good deal, and I've barely put a dent in ONE for the past 2 years.

Also used the Phillips to tighten a dresser drawer handle.

My trusted coleman gas lantern
Thanks Comis. I also have a Coleman but modern and not as much character as the vintage models.  The Optimus has an interesting system; the control knob pushes a needle up inside the jet so you can clean it while it’s running. This one I picked up has the needle broken and the mantle burns black, so the air/gas mix is wrong. Fortunately you can get spare jet and needle kits, but on the Bay and will be international postage for me.  :think:

Used awl today many times to drill holes on wood and noticed that easiest to use awl is when other handle is 90 degree. When handles are closed and trying to press awl throught harder material other head of tool will dig in to your palm and it hurts a lot.
Best way to use awl is like show on pic

We do that, too, but in this case it is about composition:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_emission_spectroscopy

We analyse steel on about 30 elements up to 4 didgits after the comma :whistle:

Tension is tested after manufacturing and heat treatment. My job usually ends when the steel is solidified.

We do that, too, but in this case it is about composition:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_emission_spectroscopy

We analyse steel on about 30 elements up to 4 didgits after the comma :whistle:

Tension is tested after manufacturing and heat treatment. My job usually ends when the steel is solidified.

You can take it down to the atoms! Wow! Definitely learned something today! Thanks  :2tu:

Some food prep today with the PST. The relatively short blade - just like in the case of standard 91/93 mm SAK's - is not ideal for these kinds of tasks, but it did the job pretty well.

Thanks Comis. I also have a Coleman but modern and not as much character as the vintage models.  The Optimus has an interesting system; the control knob pushes a needle up inside the jet so you can clean it while it’s running. This one I picked up has the needle broken and the mantle burns black, so the air/gas mix is wrong. Fortunately you can get spare jet and needle kits, but on the Bay and will be international postage for me.  :think:

No doubt about those vintage models, they always bring back great memories.  Sounds like the Optimus is one step ahead of the revolution, which makes it probably easy to maintain. :tu:   Hopefully you can find cheap parts and fix it soon!

I think with the blade coming out high from the body makes it even harder to utilize the part closer to the ricasso, do you guys have the same feeling the one-handed blade from Wave/Charge felt closer to the cutting surface?

Seeing your 111mm, I never quite understand why Victorinox will want to shrink down that line of products.  It's so utilitarian and that size is really the perfect MT to take with for anything outdoor.

Hello for day 12
On time today .
A battery swap for the HP33S. Need my brains working today.
Nice machine but not as nice as my trusty HP11C for those of you old school.

11C rare today. 15C also. Love RPN. Use a 15C emulator as my standard calculator on my iPhone. Like the original Leathermans, not much to beat the original HP calcs.  :salute:

My PSTs and Mini.

1096/1296 "Pre-Mix Safety Award 1996" The one I'm using for this challenge. No date, backup (main blade is bent, small screwdriver is bent, pliers are twisted, cutters don't work), and a 0695/0895 Mini. I know that someone had to have done something stupid with the no-date PST, as the Mini's cutters will cut anything cleanly and effortlessly, despite the tool itself being a little rough around the edges.

Before this challenge is over, I hope to get a decent BO one, preferably with cap crimpers. Since I already have two user PSTs there is no temptation to use it.

Thanks everyone,  I'll stop and take the same shot during the day today just so you can see how desolate the area is.  Having the flair in the background adds tramendiously.

As to El Paso it's about 5 hours due West at 75mph (120.7kph) from here.  If your familiar at all with West Texas, that's CLOSE! Seriously that is close, not a joke!

Well......Mrs Nix and I both like a nice garlicky hummus. So there is a definite garlic note going on here. Not overpowering, I'd say, but in no way hidden.

I mix the raw garlic and the lemon juice together straightaway. This gives the garlic a short time to mellow and 'cook' in the acid. I think that helps.

It's not sharp enough for my taste, I have much more control with the razor sharp knife blade. With the opener it would be more like tearing than cutting and I didn't want to make a mess. On my Wengers I use the can opener for this task, and the dedicated peelers on the Vic's if they have it. Oh, the package opener on the Wingman is great as well, but the PST's can opener is just too blunt, at least for my liking.

I miss having a brand of pants that could do that. I remember, at one point, when I got my PST II, I had a pair that fit the PST II like it was made for them (Carhartt, I think?). The PST, by far, carries better than most other tools.I think the only LM made today that is as versatile and carries as well is the Rebar--and two more tools on that one. And all locking blades. Yet, it is thicker and heavier.

Good cast, a little bit cheesy even for the period (1965). Apart from factual inaccuracies of course (the aerial view from a V1 spots a nuclear power station, for instance). Not too bad though, and reasonably accurate ammo counts before the Schmeisser ran out for once (not like in Where Eagles Dare, where the magazines held hundreds of rounds - but only for the good guys & gals :D).

Cutting bags open, screwing, screwing, screwing. Also hammered in these wooden rivets.
Had to get help from a Vic bit set since lot of hex screws.
PSTs phillips collapsed on me several times, annoying.  :twak:

15/30

We are halfway through  :woohoo:

Huge day for my PST.
Daughters christmas present came and I set it up to check everything is alright.
A toy kitchen.
Cutting bags open, screwing, screwing, screwing. Also hammered in these wooden rivets.
Had to get help from a Vic bit set since lot of hex screws.
PSTs phillips collapsed on me several times, annoying.  :twak:


The whole process reminds me of my first day at university 15 years ago, when all I had was a Charge XTi and the bitset to build all my furniture. (also from Ikea). That tool was all I had that day.  :multi:

Nicely done Shuya  :tu:
I got used to the non-locking tools. It's not a big issue for me anymore.

Day 15:

Cut some rebar binding wire with the cutters as a test, even though I was using linesman's pliers to twist rebar binding wire to attach the headboard of my bed to the bed frame (which doesn't have the same bolt pattern). Then, used the pliers to tighten up an Allen key set's pivot along with an adjustable wrench. The PST passed the cutting test with flying colors. As much as I dislike them due to the milling out of the pliers that is required, the good thing about replaceable cutters on the Rebar and ST300 is that if you overdo it, and ding them, just buy another set, instead of the whole tool, or a long time messing with a sharpening stone and small file trying to repair the damage, just to make things worse.

Good cast, a little bit cheesy even for the period (1965). Apart from factual inaccuracies of course (the aerial view from a V1 spots a nuclear power station, for instance). Not too bad though, and reasonably accurate ammo counts before the Schmeisser ran out for once (not like in Where Eagles Dare, where the magazines held hundreds of rounds - but only for the good guys & gals :D ).

Fuzzy....look ye......we appreciate the effort to redeem yourself here. However, no amount of dressing your 'coffee' up with various tools and gadgets is going to make up for that lamentable, teenager's post-prom dessert of a coffee disaster you posted several days ago. We can't just be bought off with a few bonus tools*.

But it is nice to see you make the effort. Thanks for that.




*actually, I think we can be bought off with tool-porn.

Seasonal adaptation  :tu:

Starting Day 16 with a REAL coffee. Cappuccino with a hearty double dose of espresso, produced by pressing water at exactly 92.5 °C through the right blend of ground coffee beans at high pressure, and a thoughtful milk foam heart for free. Must be the holiday season. The barista is in that mood. Not my immediate superior though - he has to all appearances succumbed to the ubiquitous pressure to squeeze out the last drop before the end of the year  ::)

Hello again . Now back on track with day 15.
Very heavy pockets with the LM and loose change. No LM on the belt in case PC Plod sees it and no bank card because too expensive on charges so all deals in cash and a pocket full of change. the result. The joys of foreign holidays  !!! At least beer us cheaper than home.  :woohoo: :drink:.

Day 15:

Cut some rebar binding wire with the cutters as a test, even though I was using linesman's pliers to twist rebar binding wire to attach the headboard of my bed to the bed frame (which doesn't have the same bolt pattern). Then, used the pliers to tighten up an Allen key set's pivot along with an adjustable wrench. The PST passed the cutting test with flying colors. As much as I dislike them due to the milling out of the pliers that is required, the good thing about replaceable cutters on the Rebar and ST300 is that if you overdo it, and ding them, just buy another set, instead of the whole tool, or a long time messing with a sharpening stone and small file trying to repair the damage, just to make things worse.

Seasonal adaptation  :tu:

Starting Day 16 with a REAL coffee. Cappuccino with a hearty double dose of espresso, produced by pressing water at exactly 92.5 °C through the right blend of ground coffee beans at high pressure, and a thoughtful milk foam heart for free. Must be the holiday season. The barista is in that mood. Not my immediate superior though - he has to all appearances succumbed to the ubiquitous pressure to squeeze out the last drop before the end of the year  ::)

Day 16.

Ever since I was a kid, I was interested in the Rokenbok vehicles after seeing them in a toy catalog. Way too pricey, my folks couldn't afford them, and they were mostly found at independent toy shops, which we never had around here.   I was at Tuesday Morning today, and found a Power Sweeper on the sale rack for $25. I enjoy radio control vehicles with lots of features, and it is 4WD, so I picked it up. Little did I know that Rokenbok had went through a massive restructuring, to mostly focus on robotics products for schools, which included the discontinuation of most of their line.   I tried it out for about half an hour, it worked well, then a gearbox that runs the sweeper mechanism (which sweeps plastic marbles off the floor into a hopper on board the machine) messed up, clicking, as most toys have an overload mechanism that keeps gears from stripping or breaking, as well as lost power). Changed batteries--nope, that wasn't it. Removed the sweeper brush to check to see if rug fibers wrapped around the shaft or something got jammed in there, nope not it. The way it's made, I can't get into the gearbox to see if there's something messed up. Apparently, the sweeper gearbox messing up is a recurring problem with these. While it has a six-month warranty, I doubt the company even offers a replacement anymore or even honors warranties after the big restructuring. Guess it's off to eBay to buy a secondhand one to use for parts and to practice tearing down.

Tools used. Cutters to remove wire ties. Phillips to install batteries. Medium flat screwdriver to remove quarter turn fastener that holds brush into place. Fine screwdriver--poking and prodding. I did get one real tool, a #0 Phillips, since the flat screwdriver wouldn't fit.

Was sent out to do a couple of yearly controls on fire suppresion system on a few busses in the neighbor city, and since I have had pics of that in most of my challenges I figured a shot of the PSTII with a very fitting named automatic transmission(notice the EDC under the LM) would do for today :tu:

Day 17. Removed piece of metal (either a sewing needle, straightened paperclip, or straight pin out of an SAK) out of the hooked rug near my desk. It had went through my sock and impaled my toe. Luckily, I took it out of the rug, not my foot!  My tetanus shot's up to date, so I've dodged that bullet.

Spent some time on that wooden mystery box project again. It's coming together nicely...

Is that like those useless box things? i made one years ago and it worked ok but the dolls arm i had to turn off the switch came out too quick for my liking, always wanted to find a way to slow it down to make it more realistic..but couldn't think of a way to do it so i gave it to my niece, suppose it would be easier if i knew more about microchips and sensors etc, an Arduino would be perfect for it probably  :tu:

The conditions required for the formation of hair ice are extremely specific, hence the relative scarcity of sightings. To form, moist rotting wood from a broadleaf tree is required with the presence of moist air and a temperature slightly below 0 °C. It is generally confined to latitudes between 45°N and 55°N.

In 2015 the scientists Hofmann, Mätzler and Preuß determined the exact cause of the hair ice phenomenon, linking its formation to the presence of a specific fungus called Exidiopsis effusa.

Thanks guys  :tu: it's not a fungus as such but the ice can only be formed because of a specific fungus, in certain temperatures and with the correct weather conditions and woodland :tu:

Is that like those useless box things? i made one years ago and it worked ok but the dolls arm i had to turn off the switch came out too quick for my liking, always wanted to find a way to slow it down to make it more realistic..but couldn't think of a way to do it so i gave it to my niece, suppose it would be easier if i knew more about microchips and sensors etc, an Arduino would be perfect for it probably  :tu:

It's less sophisticated than that.

Fuzz Day 18

Cut up some veggies for a healthy snack... then ended up eating two mince pies. The hollow ground blade (which I like very much) is not really that well suited to slicing through stuff like veg, but it is excellent at biting and cutting wood... just not celery.

Day 18

Got a decent looking Chinese sharpener today. Well, after trying it out, I wouldn't recommend it, the ceramic rods are super fine and because of the plastic construction, the don't sit firm, which is not ideal for keeping a constant angle. Anyway, you get what you paid for, it was on sale, a $10 gamble, so why not? It could have turned out to be good as well... Stay with your Sharpmakers, Worksharp or Lansky systems.

Day 18. Put in some batteries, and removed some screws. Normally, I do not buy RC models that are not proportional control. Yet, I wasn't aware of there being a version of the Local Motors Rally Fighter. The motor is a bit too low-torque for my tastes, and geared for (too much) speed. I will likely get a Tamiya/Mabuchi Torque Tuned motor for the Mini 4WD line, and put it in place of the existing motor. Will need soldering, but still a drop-in fit.

If I can get my old Kyosho Mini Z Overland chassis fixed, my plans are to convert the body over to the hobby-grade Kyosho chassis.

Hello day 18
My day 18  is one at rest. Am in London so a  bit wary to get the PST out.  Sadly they seem to have a lot of stabbing murders here so best the LM stays hidden.  For those If you are visiting here the “History of the car” event at the V&a museum is cool.

There are many great museums to go to, but if you are nearby, I would also suggest the Wallace collection.  IIRC, not too crowded, and everything is displayed in a more intimate setting.  It has some of everything, and a pretty good collection of weapons and armors too.

You are clearly not from Texas.

Yeah, but the PST is up close, the marrow is far away...

Day 19:

This was a sheath for the PST I made from a kit. It fits the PST looser than the other sheath I use, to the point it can hold most tools that are a similar size--i.e. SOG Pocket Power Plier, Bear Jaws, and knockoffs of the PST.  The kit had a loop for a flashlight, but I left it out. My only complaint is the quality of the belt clip. It does not hold well and is flexible, and can get disengaged from time to time.

Nice use, Steve.   :like:

The PST does seem to be a darned good EDC. Between convenience of carry and utility, it manages to strike a nice balance. ....unless you lose it in the woods.

 :iagree: totally   :salute:

Day 20

One of my "premium customers" came in with an important repair job. One of the headlights of his 20 year old RC truck didn't work anymore.

(https://i.imgur.com/zXjgh2X.jpg)

The PST managed to unscrew all parts for it...

(https://i.imgur.com/mtZbS0I.jpg)

(https://i.imgur.com/pgLplfX.jpg)

I've fixated the circuit board first and also added a little buffer foam for more "crash-resistance"...

(https://i.imgur.com/x4amf74.jpg)

Hmmmm... old style incandescent bulb...

(https://i.imgur.com/8jBEeCX.jpg)

I didn't have any of those bulbs.
I measured 5.5V provided to them. I figured that two white LEDs in a row should do the trick...

(https://i.imgur.com/IEBKxcK.jpg)

Fixed!

My customer like that a lot and requested the same "upgrade" on the other side... so here I go again...

Thanks for asking Jack  :hatsoff:
Yeah...well... doing some sit-ups after 3.5 weeks of the incident did break it up again on the left side (where the main impact was)  :facepalm:

The right side is doing fine, the left has some catching-up to do  :dunno:

I was thinking about Fuzzys giant marrow and how well the PST would deal with prepping it, i thought i would throw together a few more options, lets face it..a marrow as big as Fuzzys might need a bigger knife right?

The big Mora, it's a fair size when you compare it to it's normal sized cousin

(https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49249488186_ce9126f40e_z.jpg)

Not big enough? ok..how about the big Opi, the number 13 sure dwarfs the number 8  :dunno:

(https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49249488421_c1d5941ebb_z.jpg)

But i think we can do better, how about a big Victorinox? seen next to the 130 i'm sure you would agree it's a mighty fine beast of a knife

(https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49249698947_13c957f206_z.jpg)

But no, a marrow of that magnitude deserves, no..demands a knife that can cut it, chop it and dice it with one flick of the wrist (and probably take down half the kitchen wall)  the BIG vic  :D

Sushi for dinner tonight, Mrs Fuzzy's favourite. I like it too, but I'm always hungry afterwards... Sorry, can I just say my cats on my lap right now and he's got a terrible wind problem, bloody hell - it's like smelly dog farts... Anyway, where was I? Yes, hungry after eating sushi, so I quickly made some egg fried rice as an ackoootreeemont... or whatever the word is... The PST did the chopping.

Day 20 (bonus material):


McStitchy has guessed correctly....... It's time for the challenge chicken!  (try to avoid looking at the blade on the PST; it's so sharp you could cut yourself with an accidental glance.)

(https://i.imgur.com/CaLpeSl.jpg)




Tonight's chicken just got spatchcocked, not broken down into parts. I did it this way so I can slather it with some of that Gates of Hell sauce while it's on the grill.  :drool:  So, backbone out, scapulae out, and wishbone out. Now ready to jump onto that hot and smoky grill for a while......

(https://i.imgur.com/39AsEvm.jpg)



The PST was excellent. I used it in the extended reach mode, as shown. No problem dissecting this bird. It felt sharp right afterwards, but I did give it a complementary stropping after it got a wash in hot soapy water. With just that stropping it is back to shaving sharp. I'm well pleased with the performance of the steel and grind during this task.   :tu:

Fuzz Day 20

Sushi for dinner tonight, Mrs Fuzzy's favourite. I like it too, but I'm always hungry afterwards... Sorry, can I just say my cats on my lap right now and he's got a terrible wind problem, bloody hell - it's like smelly dog farts... Anyway, where was I? Yes, hungry after eating sushi, so I quickly made some egg fried rice as an ackoootreeemont... or whatever the word is... The PST did the chopping.

Day 20 (bonus material):


McStitchy has guessed correctly....... It's time for the challenge chicken!  (try to avoid looking at the blade on the PST; it's so sharp you could cut yourself with an accidental glance.)

Tonight's chicken just got spatchcocked, not broken down into parts. I did it this way so I can slather it with some of that Gates of Hell sauce while it's on the grill.  :drool:  So, backbone out, scapulae out, and wishbone out. Now ready to jump onto that hot and smoky grill for a while......

The PST was excellent. I used it in the extended reach mode, as shown. No problem dissecting this bird. It felt sharp right afterwards, but I did give it a complementary stropping after it got a wash in hot soapy water. With just that stropping it is back to shaving sharp. I'm well pleased with the performance of the steel and grind during this task.   :tu:

The chicken was tastier than it looks.  I added some cherry wood chips to the fire to give it a nice smokiness. The tangy, spicy sauce kept the bird tender and moist; sticky, yes, but downright succulent. Mrs Nix declared it her favorite chicken of the day!

DAY 20.

Used the cutters to shear off a few zip ties when securing the headboard to my bed--again. Rebar binding wire came loose. There's a bracket missing from the old, old handmedown headboard that I'm probably going to have to make (a pair of, one on each side).

Great fix, love those wrenches too!  :tu:


Day 20:

Opened a HDMI cabel for my PS4 :tu:
I read in later post that your in-law is coming, will you be able to get any PS4 playing done?  My wife is away for the weekend, and I just moved my Xbox one into my bedroom because my little one has started to explore the apartment, and I am not entirely sure it was a great or bad idea.  :think: :D


Day 20

One of my "premium customers" came in with an important repair job. One of the headlights of his 20 year old RC truck didn't work anymore.

(https://i.imgur.com/zXjgh2X.jpg)

The PST managed to unscrew all parts for it...

(https://i.imgur.com/mtZbS0I.jpg)

(https://i.imgur.com/pgLplfX.jpg)

I've fixated the circuit board first and also added a little buffer foam for more "crash-resistance"...

(https://i.imgur.com/x4amf74.jpg)

Hmmmm... old style incandescent bulb...

(https://i.imgur.com/8jBEeCX.jpg)

I didn't have any of those bulbs.
I measured 5.5V provided to them. I figured that two white LEDs in a row should do the trick...

(https://i.imgur.com/1FZQMAn.jpg)

(https://i.imgur.com/trXHs7f.jpg)

(https://i.imgur.com/IEBKxcK.jpg)

Fixed!

(https://i.imgur.com/vRyIvG7.jpg)

My customer like that a lot and requested the same "upgrade" on the other side... so here I go again...

(https://i.imgur.com/nhNaeLS.jpg)

Done!

I love collecting anything that's sharpen, MT included.  And finally got a copy of Leatherman Free P4 and K4, and as I was inputting those new entries into the database.  I just realized I had collected more than a couple of PST than I expected.  So besides my very original JPST I got from many decades ago, and its user replacement, now I own 5!  Gonna show more pix of them in the next following days.  So stoked!

Day 21

Finished the wooden mystery box  :P
The iris on the top outside can be opened by turning the outer cog-ring to reveal another compartment.
And the compartment inside can be lifted up and opened by using two keys turned from the box backside.... after you managed to un-lock the lid via the front code-wheel (like an old safe).

It's cool but a bit small  :salute:

My cunning plan was to celebrate the winter solstice tomorrow by having the PST pinch the sun. Today and, by all accounts, tomorrow, we miserable Earthlings (at least right here) won't be in a position to view the master body of our solar system due to unbroken cloud cover. That is when Plan B kicked in :D

I think you are right, Ray.....

But we had chicken  :D:

(https://i.imgur.com/Z1uB87Q.jpg)




The chicken was tastier than it looks.  I added some cherry wood chips to the fire to give it a nice smokiness. The tangy, spicy sauce kept the bird tender and moist; sticky, yes, but downright succulent. Mrs Nix declared it her favorite chicken of the day!

The saucy bird got layered on some toasted bread, topped with cheese (and, in my case, just nearly too many chiles), and toasted in the oven. Think of it as a BBQ chicken pizza.   >:D

Leftover chicken from last night got sliced up and re-warmed in BBQ sauce......so there is no way this goes wrong.....

The saucy bird got layered on some toasted bread, topped with cheese (and, in my case, just nearly too many chiles), and toasted in the oven. Think of it as a BBQ chicken pizza.   >:D

Day 21. Main use was first attempt at dislodging the file. It was then I realized--the Excalibur's file is removable, not fold-out, despite having a slotted pivot.

Day 22

Just get a quick photo of my Cabela's PST before I go out the door, this particular one is of later years as shown on handle numbers 1098(Oct 98), but I got this because it kinda reminded me how LM all started.

Hello Day 21.

Did not buy one because the card machine was broken and they did not take cash.

In a mix of traditions, today saw the liberation of the Christmas tree from its netting. I did not use the saw  :ahhh, just the main blade on the PST. Made short work, despite the lack of serrations.

Doesn't work Fuzzy, it's now an extra attraction, it gets a whack every time it comes round and anyone who has one of these trains will know its a pita to put back together, the only thing that worked with us was the hoover under the tree connected with Alexa so when he went under you would ask Alexa to turn on hoover and the cat would run off, every time..but a hoover under a Christmas tree doesn't look good, not very Christmassy..

Hello everyone. (。・ω・)ゞ

>comis
Thank you for inviting me to this wonderful thread.

 I respect everyone who continues to take on great challenges! (•̀ᴗ•́)و ̑̑.
There are so many interesting posts and wonderful photos.
I am surprised that PST(and PST II) has many variations, and you have a lot of memories about PST. (*゚ρ゚)
Most of my collection has always been in a drawer. But reading your posts, I noticed that MTs are more beautiful, forceful, lively when used for work. Thanks for bringing a lot of new discoveries.

In addition, it is very fun to learn about your various cultures and lifestyles from the photos.
I am not good at English, so sometimes it looks like you are fighting. Σ(゚Д゚;≡;゚д゚)
But maybe the truth is that everyone is having a good chat. ε-(´∀`*)
It is very fun to read.

I also want to participate in the challenge someday.
Good luck with the rest of the challenge! ٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و

Someone said that Japanese live in the house made of wood and paper.

This is sliding-door called "Shoji". Of course this is indoors.
The paper was torn because I hit a clothes hanger, so I cut another piece and glued it.

Hello Day 21.
A rose among the thorns,
A special collection to celebrate the hockey World Cup in Lausanne 2020,
Did not buy one because the card machine was broken and they did not take cash.
Nice collection  :tu:

Hello again.

This is a repost of my day 20 pic as I posted on the wrong thread. It does help to use your glasses when posting from a phone. A bit of nut cracking action .

Thanks

Day 22 - Winter Solstice

In a mix of traditions, today saw the liberation of the Christmas tree from its netting. I did not use the saw  :ahhh, just the main blade on the PST. Made short work, despite the lack of serrations.

Hey guys, notice how you don't notice a PST in your pocket?
Nice use!  :cheers:

Fuzz Day 22 (it's almost CHRISTMAS!!!)  :ahhh

PST came in handy to help focus Mr P's (that's not his real name) attention just long enough to chastise him about his recent unacceptable bad behaviour involving the Christmas tree - he was up it yesterday... believe it or not, the wee fatty.

Hello everyone. (。・ω・)ゞ

>comis
Thank you for inviting me to this wonderful thread.

 I respect everyone who continues to take on great challenges! (•̀ᴗ•́)و ̑̑.
There are so many interesting posts and wonderful photos.
I am surprised that PST(and PST II) has many variations, and you have a lot of memories about PST. (*゚ρ゚)
Most of my collection has always been in a drawer. But reading your posts, I noticed that MTs are more beautiful, forceful, lively when used for work. Thanks for bringing a lot of new discoveries.

In addition, it is very fun to learn about your various cultures and lifestyles from the photos.
I am not good at English, so sometimes it looks like you are fighting. Σ(゚Д゚;≡;゚д゚)
But maybe the truth is that everyone is having a good chat. ε-(´∀`*)
It is very fun to read.

I also want to participate in the challenge someday.
Good luck with the rest of the challenge! ٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و

Someone said that Japanese live in the house made of wood and paper.
Hey, it's... it's true. (´Д`|||)
This is sliding-door called "Shoji". Of course this is indoors.
The paper was torn because I hit a clothes hanger, so I cut another piece and glued it.
Great post and photo  :like: :cheers:

Home at last. 1060km (660mi) trip and a great vacation. PST-II never failed in any task. Really a great little MT and still holds its own even after 23 years.  :salute:

Used the large flathead to open the lid of some Johnsons paste wax. Really good all around wax. I'm putting some on my sheath to protect  it after giving it some mink oil treatment.

You can use this stuff on wood, leather, plastic, metal and probably other things as well. It even rates high as a car wax.

Day 22 (bonus material):


So, I did watch Matt's video. However, since I am an American, I had to make a bigger, better, and tastier version of the classic cheese and pickle....

(https://i.imgur.com/MSNWq1H.jpg)


I grated some cheese and then mixed the cheese with some mayo, tabasco sauce, and a few grind of black pepper. The mayo helps the cheese clump nicely during sandwich construction and keeps the whole thing a bit moister (that was my theory anyway). In addition to sliced pickles, I added some fresh onion. And, maybe my real stroke of genius here, the bread got a light toasting.

I give you the cheese and pickle sandwich: fully Americanized and perfected.   :tu:

How was it?  I'd thought to make this myself for the Americanized version - but never have, fearing a culinary misadventure. 

Although I too am from America, I am a huge fan of cheese sandwiches of all sorts, from all over the world - especially the classic cheese and Branston pickle from the UK, Welsh Rarebit, and the mixed-cheese sandwich from the Caribbean (a mixture of grated New Zealand cheddar, mayo mustard, etc), to name a few.

Hard to wrong with a cheese sammie.....  :D

My version was excellent!  (If I say so myself.)

I failed to add that I used "Sweet and Spicy" pickles chips. These are like bread & butter pickles, but with a bit of chile spice.

Day 22. With the 1996, I used it replacing a door in the outbuilding which, last time I was in there, had been locked inside by its messing up. So, I put a new one on, minus the interior handle. I couldn't get the new one to work right, so I put the old one on. While the interior handle was still off, I used the pliers to operate the door until I could get the inside knob on. I used a proper Channellock 4-in-1 screwdriver for the job--the LM was too short.

Left 1996 in the outbuilding by mistake. I'll get it tomorrow, so here's the pre-date again.

Day 22. With the 1996, I used it replacing a door in the outbuilding which, last time I was in there, had been locked inside by its messing up. So, I put a new one on, minus the interior handle. I couldn't get the new one to work right, so I put the old one on. While the interior handle was still off, I used the pliers to operate the door until I could get the inside knob on. I used a proper Channellock 4-in-1 screwdriver for the job--the LM was too short.

Left 1996 in the outbuilding by mistake. I'll get it tomorrow, so here's the pre-date again.

Hello everyone. (。・ω・)ゞ

>comis
Thank you for inviting me to this wonderful thread.

 I respect everyone who continues to take on great challenges! (•̀ᴗ•́)و ̑̑.
There are so many interesting posts and wonderful photos.
I am surprised that PST(and PST II) has many variations, and you have a lot of memories about PST. (*゚ρ゚)
Most of my collection has always been in a drawer. But reading your posts, I noticed that MTs are more beautiful, forceful, lively when used for work. Thanks for bringing a lot of new discoveries.

In addition, it is very fun to learn about your various cultures and lifestyles from the photos.
I am not good at English, so sometimes it looks like you are fighting. Σ(゚Д゚;≡;゚д゚)
But maybe the truth is that everyone is having a good chat. ε-(´∀`*)
It is very fun to read.

I also want to participate in the challenge someday.
Good luck with the rest of the challenge! ٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و

Someone said that Japanese live in the house made of wood and paper.
Hey, it's... it's true. (´Д`|||)
This is sliding-door called "Shoji". Of course this is indoors.
The paper was torn because I hit a clothes hanger, so I cut another piece and glued it.

hiraboo!  Good to see you on this thread! :cheers:   That's a cool photo with the Shoji in the background. 

Challenges like this may receive many posts per day, and sometimes you might not see the replies until much later in the thread.  Hope you will hang around and always feel free to contribute.  And usually, folks here will post sign up post for people to join the challenges, months in advance, so if you see something you'd like to join or try, do feel free to join or ask more about the rules of that challenge.

I've watched a few videos about making shoji screens. I'd like to give it a try. How hard can it be?   :think:

 :rofl:
Not that hard, worst you just made a door that won't slide, right?  :popcorn: :rofl:

Well, it's that time of year so you'll excuse my posting a seasonal picture, I'm sure (*ducks away and takes cover)
Ahh! :dd:

Day 22

Used the large flathead to open the lid of some Johnsons paste wax. Really good all around wax. I'm putting some on my sheath to protect  it after giving it some mink oil treatment.

You can use this stuff on wood, leather, plastic, metal and probably other things as well. It even rates high as a car wax.


Steve, sounds like a great product, I wonder how does it compares to Obernauf(mainly bee wax)? :pok: :D

Steve, sounds like a great product, I wonder how does it compares to Obernauf(mainly bee wax)? :pok: :D

According to Johnson's website here are the ingredients

Deodorized NaphthaSolubilizer

Deodorized naphtha is a deodorized form of Stoddard solvent, which is sometimes called white mineral spirits. It is a solubilizer that ensures the even distribution of the ingredients throughout a product to help it work better. No matter how much you shake or blend a formula that combines oil and water, over time the oils will separate from the rest of the liquid - just like salad dressing. A solubilizer like deodorized naphtha helps keep our product formula well mixed.

Carnauba WaxFilm Former

Carnauba wax is a naturally derived film former that can also be found in cosmetics and skin care products. It creates a protective coating or shine on a surface. Carnauba wax comes from the carnauba palm tree – it forms on the leaves of the palm to protect the leaves from heat and keep their moisture from evaporating. In our products, it adds shine and protection when applied to a surface.

Microcrystalline WaxFilm Former

Microcrystalline wax is a film former that can also be found in cosmetics, chewing gum and eye drops. It creates a coating or shine on a surface. This means that the surface has an added level of protection, and also has the shine that helps the surface look its best. It can also be used as a binder that holds a product's ingredients together. We add microcrystalline wax to products so that when other ingredients are compressed, they hold together in a solid shape.

ParaffinFilm Former

Paraffin is a blend of waxes that is used to form a candle and that provides fuel for the candle as it burns. Paraffin is one of the most plentiful and commonly used waxes today. It can also be found in a wide array of products from lipsticks to eye makeup to baby products. In household products, we use paraffin as a film former to create a protective coating or shine on a surface.

Matt, thanks for making this video for us on making cheese and pickles sandwiches.   :tu:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AFGGDq4JFhc (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AFGGDq4JFhc)


Nicely done.  :clap:

However, I think you'd look better...or at least more cheerful...with a brighter colored sweater. (I know, I know, everyone's a critic..... :facepalm:)

Was that Fuzzy I saw in the background?  :think:

Why.... thank you sir  :hatsoff:
Yes that's him (after a rather lengthy make-up session... he says he likes the ladies down there).
May I ask? Did you actually view it till the end?
We're seeing complains from viewers falling asleep around half time through it  :dunno:

Sorry, I cannot comment on the sweater (Nan knitted it  :pok: )

Day 22 (bonus material):


So, I did watch Matt's video. However, since I am an American, I had to make a bigger, better, and tastier version of the classic cheese and pickle....

(https://i.imgur.com/MSNWq1H.jpg)


I grated some cheese and then mixed the cheese with some mayo, tabasco sauce, and a few grind of black pepper. The mayo helps the cheese clump nicely during sandwich construction and keeps the whole thing a bit moister (that was my theory anyway). In addition to sliced pickles, I added some fresh onion. And, maybe my real stroke of genius here, the bread got a light toasting.

(https://i.imgur.com/ehUk0b7.jpg)



I give you the cheese and pickle sandwich: fully Americanized and perfected.   :tu:

Ok ok, I might conduct another experiment following your order and ingredients  :drool:

A day of trains and planes and trains so the PST was Checked baggage. I make a small. Purchase inside security/duty free at Geneva airport. A large selection of Saks on sale which half defeats the object of security screening. My first ever SAK purchase.  Anyway the 2 making friends now.

My wife’s office at the law firm is in currently on the 7th floor of their building. They are moving to the 8th floor after a total remodel of that floor.

So took the PST to her new office and put her new desk together. Cheap stuff they bought her.

Day 23.

With the no date code I: used the blade to open my truck's registration renewal. used the large screwdriver to scrape off nearly 22 years of previous renewal stickers (truck's a 98, we've had it since 99) so I could get thie year's on right. Used the Phillips to screw the chickenhouse door latch shut; and the pliers for something I've now forgotten.

Here's the 1996 again. Pre-date, I think I laid it beside the bed before taking a nap--but I didn't see it there.

Typically, my folks open Christmas gifts on the night of Christmas Eve. I did, with trauma shears (since they're blunt at the tips, and cut through most packing). I got two coats and cash this year. This time, stuff I needed.

Day 25  I must admit i'm not a huge fan of snow, it gets tiresome very quickly but when i'm off work i do enjoy the snow days and at Christmas it does seem to make it extra special, no snow this year again though  :(

Slightly hung over, but not enough to stop me from giving the main blade of the new-to-me PST II a light touch up. It hasn't seen much use, it seems.

Has anyone needed anything more than a PST?  I'm honestly wondering why I got away from mine.  They're great for anything I've come across, and don't even notice it's there.
Title: Re: ~ The Great PST Challenge ~
Post by: cody6268 on December 26, 2019, 04:03:00 AM
Day 25; Christmas Carry.  Normally, we held the celebration at my great-grandmother's house, which was in a rather rural area, and had a considerable amount of acerage around it. The house was the oldest in Burkes Garden (built in the 1830s, if I recall--there is a graveyard on a hill with Civil War and WWI graves), and as a result, I carried enough stuff to do light tinkering and repair, as well as tools I carried doing farm work, and hiking. This year, it was at the house my great-aunt bought a couple years ago, after her husband passed away. It's about 1000 square feet, of which 400 is a big garage. She has a lot of stuff, most of it fragile, as well as expensive furniture, so I ruled out sheaths or clips. Had a great time, ate a bit too much!

Honestly, given the amount of "outdoors" was smaller than our yard (and that accounts for both her house, and two empty lots), and I kinda think I went into overkill, basing it off what I used beforehand. I think I could have just carried the Gerber, light, and PST.

Gerber Magnum LST Jr. for folder. My great-uncle (who passed 5 years ago) got it in the '90s with a subscription to Buckmasters magazine. It's tough, lightweight, and perfectly sized. He'd carried it a lot as well, I guess because the ergonomics of the knife suited him as well as it did me. When I cleaned after getting it, it had a tablespoon of pocket lint, keeping it from lockup. It was used that much!
The PST. To handle most of the basics. Pliers, drivers, and a file.
quirt EL. A toolset to accompany the PST, and handle light electrical and precision/hobby type stuff.
Schrade USA 703 Penknife. Backup. Was my great-Granddad's, originally.
MiniChamp--scissors, mostly. And some extra drivers and a great pen--the MiniChamp is just thick enough for comfortable writing. I actually wrote an entire paper for college--with just a MiniChamp!
Olight i3EOS. I like a smaller light for EDC, and it's  bright enough to get the job done.
Shelby Co. Can Opener. Everything was mostly ready by the time we got there, but just in case, I bought a can opener. Better be safe than sorry.

I haven't needed anything more than the PST.  However, I haven't been quite as busy with various projects, either.

Still, the PST seems to have awl the major bases covered. For EDC, I'd pair the PST with a Vic Executive or Classic so I'd have a pair of scissors and a small blade as well. Otherwise, the PST has been outstanding so far.

 :tu:


And, the funny thing is: I like the LM Rebar because it reminds me so much of the PST. So.......why not just stick with the PST?  :think:

I agree on all counts Jack.  About the only thing with the Rebar is that lovely saw and replaceable cutters, but the grade of the tool steel swings me back to the PST.

For me, it's sort of a double-edged sword. The PST is slim, and basic. Also doesn't weigh a whole lot. For a little less than three ounces, the Rebar adds a more robust build, all locking-implements, replaceable cutters, a saw, and a serrated blade (those being key for farm work, and usually mean I have to add two knives to add those tools if I carry the PST in the outdoors, an SAK for the saw, and a rescue knife for the serrations). It doesn't carry as well in a pocket, but is still fairly compact and can be easily pocketed.   That's why, the Rebar and PST are, more or less, tied.

Doing office work for the most part now days the PST has been an excelent carry.  I still have trouble with the tools being inside and clumping for access to the SINGLE tool I want.  I miss the scissors and saw.   Please understand that those for me are personal preferances and in no way deminish the quality or genius of Tim's creation.  The PST has an amazing buid quality and the over all tool selection is great, it has in no way let me down.  The PST is a great little tool with way more BANG than it's size would lead one to belive, and it is just as valid a tool in todays world as it was the day Tim sold his very first one.

Now with that being said would any one be interested in jumping into the other end of the pond and doing a Swisstool Challenge for MARCH?

Saw this challenge a while ago, but only dipped in on Christmas Eve - (two days ago for me!!)

Looks like a lot of fun - Loving all the PST Christmas tree shots

Will have to drag out my PST for a shot or two - In fact why don't I make the PST my EDC for the rest of the month!!

Deal !!!

Has anyone needed anything more than a PST?  I'm honestly wondering why I got away from mine.  They're great for anything I've come across, and don't even notice it's there.

Exactly my thoughts too Barry  :tu:
Initially I thought I need scissors, but could manage using the blade instead for most.
And I would miss the awl  ;)

Day 25; Christmas Carry.  Normally, we held the celebration at my great-grandmother's house, which was in a rather rural area, and had a considerable amount of acerage around it. The house was the oldest in Burkes Garden (built in the 1830s, if I recall--there is a graveyard on a hill with Civil War and WWI graves), and as a result, I carried enough stuff to do light tinkering and repair, as well as tools I carried doing farm work, and hiking. This year, it was at the house my great-aunt bought a couple years ago, after her husband passed away. It's about 1000 square feet, of which 400 is a big garage. She has a lot of stuff, most of it fragile, as well as expensive furniture, so I ruled out sheaths or clips. Had a great time, ate a bit too much!

Honestly, given the amount of "outdoors" was smaller than our yard (and that accounts for both her house, and two empty lots), and I kinda think I went into overkill, basing it off what I used beforehand. I think I could have just carried the Gerber, light, and PST.

Gerber Magnum LST Jr. for folder. My great-uncle (who passed 5 years ago) got it in the '90s with a subscription to Buckmasters magazine. It's tough, lightweight, and perfectly sized. He'd carried it a lot as well, I guess because the ergonomics of the knife suited him as well as it did me. When I cleaned after getting it, it had a tablespoon of pocket lint, keeping it from lockup. It was used that much!
The PST. To handle most of the basics. Pliers, drivers, and a file.
quirt EL. A toolset to accompany the PST, and handle light electrical and precision/hobby type stuff.
Schrade USA 703 Penknife. Backup. Was my great-Granddad's, originally.
MiniChamp--scissors, mostly. And some extra drivers and a great pen--the MiniChamp is just thick enough for comfortable writing. I actually wrote an entire paper for college--with just a MiniChamp!
Olight i3EOS. I like a smaller light for EDC, and it's  bright enough to get the job done.
Shelby Co. Can Opener. Everything was mostly ready by the time we got there, but just in case, I bought a can opener. Better be safe than sorry.

The only two issues I’ve had to deal with during this challenge are:

The Phillips driver keeps folding on my when using it.

The orientation of the knife makes it tougher to use on some things, especially food.

Aside from those two “issues”, the tool works flawlessly.  My knife blade needs some work, but that’s my fault.

Been a fun challenge, but I will be glad to get back to my AFO II and Pioneer X.

Noticed that PST is missing few needed tools, saw, scissors and OHO blade.

Same thought on the phillips, and for the knife, I think I have an easier time whenever I use the knife in 'extended' mode(keep the pliers/the other handle out, instead of folding everything back in).

I am with my parents for a few days together with the Mrs. and daughter.
Wanted to fix a broken kitchen knife (got stuck in the drawyer, force open it broke the tip off).
PST to grip the blade and cool it in water every few seconds, cheap knock off dremel for cutting.
Halfway through the job the battery died, recharging now.
Hate when I have to stop a job because of bad hardware.  :twak:

PST leaves some nice marks in left hand due to pressing hard.
Vice grips or LM Crunch would have been better, but challenge is challenge.  :dunno:

Tomorrow I will finish the cut and will grind the new tip into shape.

A day of rest and then some packing. An early start tomorrow to the airport. Washington DC is calling.
A pic just before the PST disappears into the depths of the bag.

 :cheers:
DC - enjoy and have a safe flight here and back!  :cheers:

The only two issues I’ve had to deal with during this challenge are:
The Phillips driver keeps folding on my when using it.
The orientation of the knife makes it tougher to use on some things, especially food.
Aside from those two “issues”, the tool works flawlessly.  My knife blade needs some work, but that’s my fault.

The later PST (post 98) 'pivot out' tool design improves that problem a lot - Which one do you have?

And this is a bit obvious
- But using most of the tools (especially blade, awl, opener) with the handles in the open position makes the tools much more effective, although the whole thing a little harder to hold

Thanks for reminding me Nix, there was one crucial test missing for my new PST II.

Drawstring in a pair of sweatpants somehow caught the dryer's front seal, ripping it out of the door. In the detangling processes, I had to use the cutters to snip the wire mesh in order to remove the seal from the pants. Need to get to ordering a new seal tomorrow.

Matt Jr. spilled a big mug of hot chocolate onto a carpet/runner today.
It was decided that it was not salvageable and ready for the bin now. So I've cut it into smaller pieces for that and used the medium flathead driver of my PST to remove the blade and clean the cutter from any hot chocolate afterwards...

Day 27

Matt Jr. spilled a big mug of hot chocolate onto a carpet/runner today.
It was decided that it was not salvageable and ready for the bin now. So I've cut it into smaller pieces for that and used the medium flathead driver of my PST to remove the blade and clean the cutter from any hot chocolate afterwards...
Nice use  :tu:

Used the pliers to tighten up a buffing disk. I was polishing out a scratch in the clearcoat of my van.

Day 28. Didn't really do anything with it.

Started watching Highway Thru Hell again, so for some reason, I decided to line up three of the heavy wreckers in my collection.

They are. Long Tomica 132; long name too, so I just call it what it is: a Hino Profia/Century 1040SDU. It is based on a real unit used by the Yokohama Fire Bureau's SAR team, the Super Rangers. Tomica Holmes Power Wrecker--so old, these old workhorses were state of the art when the toy was made, and the Matchbox Western Star, which came out as a part of the revived Real Working Rigs this year. Being able to find it at $5 at Wally World, and not the $25 or more the older issues from 10 years ago went for on eBay was excellent.

Anyway pic is next to a new pair of jeans. Mine end up like that anyway so why buy the broken in the first place or am I getting old ?

Hoo boy, NYC. I didn't hardly buy anything when I was there, and that was nearly a decade ago.

I find it funny that a lot of people pay extra to buy jeans that look worse than my work pants.  I've got one teensy-weensy hole in my Aramark jeans, but that's partially due to using my left leg (with the checkbook in the pocket as a surface) as a strop).

Day 29. Decided to start tackling cleaning out the apartment above the farm shop that has primarily served as a place to store the household junk. My main use for the PST was using the cutters to (start) cutting apart a bundle unholy wrapped together mess of cables, mostly removing destroyed headphones and long unused cellphone chargers to get to my Nintendo charger and some voltmeter leads.

And on the day before the end. Honestly, I feel the PST didn't weigh me down, or feel inadequate for the job, at all. The Surge and ST300 are overkill for most everyday work. The MiniChamp (which might I add, was the PST's companion for most of this challenge) doesn't have pliers.

Although the PST has been a VERY GOOD Companion and proves just how Leatherman EARNED it's place in the history of Multitools I'm looking forward to the end of the challenge.  I'm taking some time off the Challenge circuit so I can recoup and bulk up for the March Swisstool Madness Challenge.
Today has not been much of a day off.  Worked all day, Steam lines, ice machines, fountain drink machines, tortilla ovens and dough mixers, so the PST saw a LOT of undocumented use.  Rewiring a burned lead on a contactor in the dough mixer is the only pic I managed.

Let's kick off the last Day 30 with a pic rather like one of my earlier pics in the challenge, only with another tool as the main subject, the PST II I managed to get just before Christmas.

I've started out the challenge with the PST I bought round about just before the MTO store went offline ( :pok: ) as a replacement of the PST that started me on multitools of the plier-based variety (lost way back in a warranty exchange with LM for a Wave, due to a broken main blade) and ended up with my most recent acquisition, the PST II. Ivo would say the circle is round :D .

Both PST and its Mk 2 are very unobtrusively pocketable tools with a lot of functionality in a small package, and I haven't had to resort to other MTs during the challenge. I did go for speSmurfpillsed tools for specific tasks such as wiring a car radio. Having said that, I haven't needed a saw, probably due to the season, which is one tool I'd probably want to have along on a MT for any type of outdoors activity. But in particular the Mk 2 otherwise covers most or all urban requirements, with its fine file and scissors.

And of course, the sturdy material in comparison with some more modern offerings is a big plus point, together with the needle nose pliers with their nice reach.

Thanks to the initiators for setting up such an enjoyable and well attended challenge  :cheers:

30/30

Made it.
A final group pic of the tools that helped me throughout the month. (only those werecarried, got more than 10PSTs togetherwith spares and stuff)
The PST sure is a great neat piece of EDC tool and a a milestone in development.
For me, this first MT challenge brought up that I am not a MT only dude. While I have a MT around almost all the time and there are days I only carry one(rarely), I am happy with a two layered SAk of some sort for 90% of the time.
In my offtime I dont wear a belt and a PST is already too heavy for me, cant imagine carrying a Supertool or something like that. Plus the Pliers were the least used componend on the tool, and I could have grabbed a tool at any time. Or the small pliers were not up for the job.

Packing again for a trip on new years eve with friends, and cant wait to get a SAK again.

Thanks folks for the time and stories.

Snow is melting away again, im having today hiking day and PST is with me.
This challenge showed me that PST is light and pretty awesome tool but its lacking few needed properties i need like outside accesible blade, saw and scissors.
Im so happy to carry other tools after this day.
Im not saying that PST couldnt handle jobs but it made some jobs harder to do.

Day 30

Last day.  Just want to use this opportunity to express my gratitude to Leatherman.  Back in the 80s, I was gifted a PST and unbeknownst to me at the time, that PST will be my first MT that started my whole collection addiction.  It's been a great ride ever since, and finding my way onto MTO is another highlight of this journey.

Earlier this year, many of us have done the Supertool challenge together, and PST being the predecessor has reminded me of the ST in many ways.   But being the heavy weight of the family, ST wasn't the most pocket friendly tool there is, and I really do appreciate how the slim profile of PST just disappear in the pocket. 


However, we did come a long way since PST, and some features I do miss from the more modern Rebar and ST, such as the detents on all the blade/serrated blade or the lock to individual tools.(PST did remind me from time to time for being careless about it)  On that thought, it'd be really nice if LM decides to bring back PST with the exact same slim profile with those new features from Rebar/ST.

Both PST and its Mk 2 are very unobtrusively pocketable tools with a lot of functionality in a small package, and I haven't had to resort to other MTs during the challenge. I did go for speSmurfpillsed tools for specific tasks such as wiring a car radio. Having said that, I haven't needed a saw, probably due to the season, which is one tool I'd probably want to have along on a MT for any type of outdoors activity. But in particular the Mk 2 otherwise covers most or all urban requirements, with its fine file and scissors.

And of course, the sturdy material in comparison with some more modern offerings is a big plus point, together with the needle nose pliers with their nice reach.

Thanks to the initiators for setting up such an enjoyable and well attended challenge  :cheers:

Day 30 of 30

 :woohoo: Got to the last day :woohoo:

Been a great month with the PST and I am glad I participated in this Challenge  :salute: :like: I did miss an awl and a saw with the modified PST II but the awl can be an easy fix (either replace a flat driver with a PST awl or grind a flat driver down to one :tu: ) the saw can be addressed as well with putting a SOG saw in with a bit of Dremel work :D also no rolled edges made squeezing down really hard a bit uncomfortable but with some manliness that can be overcome as well :D. As I said a great month :like: :like:

30/30

Made it.
A final group pic of the tools that helped me throughout the month. (only those werecarried, got more than 10PSTs togetherwith spares and stuff)
The PST sure is a great neat piece of EDC tool and a a milestone in development.
For me, this first MT challenge brought up that I am not a MT only dude. While I have a MT around almost all the time and there are days I only carry one(rarely), I am happy with a two layered SAk of some sort for 90% of the time.
In my offtime I dont wear a belt and a PST is already too heavy for me, cant imagine carrying a Supertool or something like that. Plus the Pliers were the least used componend on the tool, and I could have grabbed a tool at any time. Or the small pliers were not up for the job.

Packing again for a trip on new years eve with friends, and cant wait to get a SAK again.

Thanks folks for the time and stories.
Great selection  :like: :cheers:

Day 30 of 30

Snow is melting away again, im having today hiking day and PST is with me.
This challenge showed me that PST is light and pretty awesome tool but its lacking few needed properties i need like outside accesible blade, saw and scissors.
Im so happy to carry other tools after this day.
Im not saying that PST couldnt handle jobs but it made some jobs harder to do.
Enjoy your day out hiking and more importantly, just being outdoors!  :like: :cheers:

Day 30

Last day.  Just want to use this opportunity to express my gratitude to Leatherman.  Back in the 80s, I was gifted a PST and unbeknownst to me at the time, that PST will be my first MT that started my whole collection addiction.  It's been a great ride ever since, and finding my way onto MTO is another highlight of this journey.

Earlier this year, many of us have done the Supertool challenge together, and PST being the predecessor has reminded me of the ST in many ways.   But being the heavy weight of the family, ST wasn't the most pocket friendly tool there is, and I really do appreciate how the slim profile of PST just disappear in the pocket. 


However, we did come a long way since PST, and some features I do miss from the more modern Rebar and ST, such as the detents on all the blade/serrated blade or the lock to individual tools.(PST did remind me from time to time for being careless about it)  On that thought, it'd be really nice if LM decides to bring back PST with the exact same slim profile with those new features from Rebar/ST.

:sa: triangle screws...thats a first for me!  :facepalm:

Some electronics kits (I think Walmart has one under their "Hyper Tough" brand for about $15) do include triangle screwdriver bits. They are not common to find in screwdriver sets, at all. Guess to keep people from messing with them.  Unfortunately, I've misplaced most of the bits, and of those I had, I mostly just used the Phillips and knife-pivot sized Torx and Tamperproof Torx.  I need the triangle screwdrivers myself right now, to change batteries in a few little LCD games that came in Happy Meals when I was a kid--and the batteries just now went kaput.

Interesting it didn't fit. Last time I handled them, I used my PST II's screwdriver at an angle, and it took those triangle screws right out. Must have been a size different than what was on that electronics hobby kit transformer.

Day 30

Today I've used the PST pliers to fish out one of those hair clips from our washing machines water pump... again  ::)

- Final thoughts about the PST -

For planned works around the house I often grab my Surge, while on hikes I'll take the Original Supertool lately.

For normal days I like to carry light and minimal tools that fit nicely into my pockets... like a 2-3 layer SAK or a LM Mini Tool or SideClip.
Or a small flashlight and a Vic.Spirit in a pocket caddy  :P
I've never considered the PST before, and I'll have to admit that I was wrong. It's just about right for my pockets and is more versatile than the Mini Tool or SideClip  :tu:

For me, the awl could be a tad more pointy and sharper.
But I'm ok with the missing tool locks for this light carry. I didn't even miss the scissors much (to my surprise).

So yeah, I have another PST incoming (hopefully soon)  :D

0296 PST-II used for challenge on display with my others. Only a small collection, top to bottom, c1988 (no date code), 1000/1100, 0103 and my other PST-II (1298/0299 codes...must have been a long Christmas break in 98:-). These are all too clean for use, so I’m pleased that I had one I could carry.

Other than collapsing drivers a couple of times, I had no issues carrying and using my PST-II. Will definitely keep it in my rotation and will keep a lookout for more users as they come up in my neck of the woods.

Day 30

Opened some packages on the final day, but no action shots, just my two PST's.

Regarding the PST as an MT, this month confirmed how much I like its form factor, its sleekness, how well it carries in the pocket, but also highlighted its shortcomings.

Day 30  Only issues i found were the Phillips folding in on me, the scissor handles were going past the stop
- exactly the same here! (Luckily my pliers stayed intact :) )

It was a busy month for me, couldn't always keep up with the gazillion new posts, but it still was a fun and interesting challenge, well done to all who took part!  :salute:

Day 30:


It's been a slow challenge--I just haven't been up to much this past month--but a fun challenge. The PST has certainly earned a spot back on the roster.

(https://i.imgur.com/hNGjCLD.jpg)



Easy to carry, loads of function and utility, I find it hard to fault the ol' PST. Like a few others, I noticed that care had to be taken to avoid having a tool fold during use. However, I didn't find that to be a big issue. I'll surely be carrying the PST more in the future.  :tu:

Day 30. Carried the 1996, but both PSTs and my 1995 Mini Tool (hard to believe, in April--it's out of warranty!).

All tools did the jobs necessary well. Yeah, the PST isn't linesman's pliers, and as the instructions have said--I recommend wearing gloves for really heavy gripping. But, every tool did its job. I did not really use the blades much, because the 1996's has a chipped tip, the no-date is bent. I've seen PSTs that had a hex bolt holding them together, really sharpened blades, busted drivers, and well, rough. The guy got it as a Christmas gift in the 1980s and was still carrying it. The PST is small, but built like a tank. Tell that to the ST300 small driver I've bent three times, once due to something I should not have done (bent rusted Phillips screw), the other times, light jobs.   Can opener was not used at all, though I did use it on Thanksgiving, on cranberries). The PST isn't a tiny keychain tool, nor a gigantic Surge or ST300 level brute that requires a sturdy belt. It's just a simple "Pocket Survival Tool".

Now, I await my 112LT coming tomorrow, and starting on that challenge New Year's Day. PST's still getting used--I'd been using them in October and November, a lot. Juice is a little too light duty, SwissTool, ST300 and Surge overkill. The PST and Rebar, and occasionally SwissTool are about all I carry these days.

Day 30

Today I've used the PST pliers to fish out one of those hair clips from our washing machines water pump... again  ::)

- Final thoughts about the PST -

For planned works around the house I often grab my Surge, while on hikes I'll take the Original Supertool lately.

For normal days I like to carry light and minimal tools that fit nicely into my pockets... like a 2-3 layer SAK or a LM Mini Tool or SideClip.
Or a small flashlight and a Vic.Spirit in a pocket caddy  :P
I've never considered the PST before, and I'll have to admit that I was wrong. It's just about right for my pockets and is more versatile than the Mini Tool or SideClip  :tu:

For me, the awl could be a tad more pointy and sharper.
But I'm ok with the missing tool locks for this light carry. I didn't even miss the scissors much (to my surprise).

So yeah, I have another PST incoming (hopefully soon)  :D

Opening a package today, a Christmas present to myself.....

30 days have flown by, been a great challenge, thanks Steve for getting it going and thanks to everyone else for their contributions and pics  :tu:

First time carrying the PST but it didn't let me down, I enjoyed using it apart from gripping the pliers (rather uncomfortable)
It seemed to have all the tools I needed in a very compact package and I will certainly carry it again in the future.
Great package duty! And nice looking Gerber  :like: :cheers:

Day 30
Challenge has been completed, thank you Steve for this one!  :hatsoff:

0296 PST-II used for challenge on display with my others. Only a small collection, top to bottom, c1988 (no date code), 1000/1100, 0103 and my other PST-II (1298/0299 codes...must have been a long Christmas break in 98:-). These are all too clean for use, so I’m pleased that I had one I could carry.

Other than collapsing drivers a couple of times, I had no issues carrying and using my PST-II. Will definitely keep it in my rotation and will keep a lookout for more users as they come up in my neck of the woods.

Cheers,  :cheers:
Nice collection Max!  :like: :cheers:

Day 30  Only issues i found were the Phillips folding in on me, the scissor handles were going past the stop and the plier was a bit of a joke, i found it next to impossible to grip anything with it, no forget that..totally impossible to grip anything with it, forget holding onto any bolt with this one  ;)

I wont be putting this into rotation, back into the drawer with it, it is now mod fodder :tu:

Hello day 30.
Thanks to the powers that be for organising this fine challenge.  It has been a bit interesting having posted from 4 different countries ( NZ,Uk, CH and US) and those time zones.
 Thanks to the team for playing your great pics.
Am looking forward to the next challenge.
Last pic - 2 of my faves-  a cold one and a LM from Hooters in NYC waiting waiting for the women folk who are off shopping again.

Have another! Well done  :like: :cheers:

Day 30

Opened some packages on the final day, but no action shots, just my two PST's.

Regarding the PST as an MT, this month confirmed how much I like its form factor, its sleekness, how well it carries in the pocket, but also highlighted its shortcomings.
 - exactly the same here! (Luckily my pliers stayed intact :) )

It was a busy month for me, couldn't always keep up with the gazillion new posts, but it still was a fun and interesting challenge, well done to all who took part!  :salute:
Nice  :like: :cheers:

Day 30:


It's been a slow challenge--I just haven't been up to much this past month--but a fun challenge. The PST has certainly earned a spot back on the roster.

(https://i.imgur.com/hNGjCLD.jpg)



Easy to carry, loads of function and utility, I find it hard to fault the ol' PST. Like a few others, I noticed that care had to be taken to avoid having a tool fold during use. However, I didn't find that to be a big issue. I'll surely be carrying the PST more in the future.  :tu:
Very nice photo Nix  :like: :cheers:

Post by: Rapidray on December 31, 2019, 04:04:40 AM
Day 30. Carried the 1996, but both PSTs and my 1995 Mini Tool (hard to believe, in April--it's out of warranty!).

All tools did the jobs necessary well. Yeah, the PST isn't linesman's pliers, and as the instructions have said--I recommend wearing gloves for really heavy gripping. But, every tool did its job. I did not really use the blades much, because the 1996's has a chipped tip, the no-date is bent. I've seen PSTs that had a hex bolt holding them together, really sharpened blades, busted drivers, and well, rough. The guy got it as a Christmas gift in the 1980s and was still carrying it. The PST is small, but built like a tank. Tell that to the ST300 small driver I've bent three times, once due to something I should not have done (bent rusted Phillips screw), the other times, light jobs.   Can opener was not used at all, though I did use it on Thanksgiving, on cranberries). The PST isn't a tiny keychain tool, nor a gigantic Surge or ST300 level brute that requires a sturdy belt. It's just a simple "Pocket Survival Tool".

Now, I await my 112LT coming tomorrow, and starting on that challenge New Year's Day. PST's still getting used--I'd been using them in October and November, a lot. Juice is a little too light duty, SwissTool, ST300 and Surge overkill. The PST and Rebar, and occasionally SwissTool are about all I carry these days.

Steve thanks for hosting GREAT CHALLENGE.   I purchased my PST from Folder Beholder around a year or so ago and fiddled around with it for a couple of days before putting it away.  I really got it just so I could have one of the tool that started it all.  Never really saw myself carrying it until your challenge.  Add some locks to the drivers a saw and scissors and I definatly could.   I still prefer the outside opening tools of a Vic but the PST has shown its prowess.
Well done everyone.

Thank you Steve for hosting and the team for the badge!  This challenge has came and gone in a flash.

As Steve suggested, I think I gonna carry my PST with my SAK Mountaineer for the New year's eve.  I quite like this combo of tools, the combined weight is just around 250g(8.8oz), almost the same weight as a LM Charge.

I'd be in again myself. But, I'm gonna do it with a BO, JPST, and PST II; which I'm fixing up my PST II, and don't have JPST or BO versions yet.  To make it a real challenge, one with the dreaded blasting cap crimpers.

Hmmm, PST's with Cap Crimper pliers do exist, but some are harder to find than others.

IIRC BO CC are the most common, SS CC much less common, and I'm not sure if I've ever heard of a JPST CC  :think:
