While I don't yet have a Surge for the April Surge challenge, I DO have a Supertool. June will be a good month for a ST challenge. :tu:
(And good idea to plan it this far out--the challenges are stacking up around here!)

ST300 is at the top of my wanted list with the Surge :dd:
If I can still afford one after the April challenge, I’ll most definitely join :tu:
Or if I miss the deadline for the Surge challenge I can just get the 300 fir cheaper :facepalm:

Yes we will post here. Only rules are any tools mentioned above , post a pic everyday and label it .. Day 1 etc.
You can carry another knife if needed, traditional or folder. SAK's I guess are fine too if you need scissors.

Meh, would really like to join this challenge but in June I am heading into the Alps for a week again and there is no way I will carry such a brick of steel up to >3000m :dunno:
Mont Blanc ascent? ;)
Post by: Shuya on February 26, 2019, 07:27:51 AM
Mont Blanc ascent? ;)Not planning this yet, but I cut down my gear when hiking in such altitude.
Would not carry more than my Deluxe Tinker which has been my basic and only too that has been up to 3200m (10.500ft) so far. (And I didnt took the lift, walked up there all myself, usually doing a weeklong hike in the mountains each year).
Maybe a PST, but never a ST/Core :surrender:
Post by: CallsignBadger on February 26, 2019, 04:52:16 PM
Hmm, maybe you could carry that :think: :D

I typically stay away from using the blades on my multitool (except my saks). Not entirely sure why. I will attempt to use the ST300 blade exclusively when this challenge rolls around.
Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk
Funny you mention that!
I am participating in the March Discontinued Tool challenge and I just mentioned how worthless I find the main blade on my OG Wave.
Now, i love that wave. I have had it since new in 2004. It replaced my beloved PST that I had carried since 1996. Still have the PST.
But using the Wave at work, after now having many SAKs and other fine knives, I realize how crappy the blade actually is on that old Wave!
Going to try my Gen 2 Wave tonight. See how that blade fares. Of course, for this challenge in June, I’ll be using my BO ST300 EOD and I removed the blade on it so I’ll need to carry a knife with me during June.

Post by: Fuzzbucket on March 10, 2019, 11:53:31 AM
However, I like the look of the latest one (especially in black oxide) and the additional/refined features that are unique to it, and part of me is genuinely interested in putting one through its paces for a bit...
Yet... the other part of me baulks at the price - especially if the quality that I expect isn't going to be present... and all my spectrum related 'isms and issues start kicking in - and wonders if it might be better to invest my hard earned cash into vintage knives and multitools which have brought me huge amount of enjoyment recently and won't deprecate in value a soon as I get it.
Wow... I'm being far too serious this morning... What's wrong with me? :think: Time to change that I think.

You can carry it if you must but I would encourage you not to use it unless you need something that the ST doesn't have, scissors for example.. The Supertool should be used as your main carry tool.

Yeah, I’ll definitely have to carry my SAKMC with me. I replaced the blade on my ST300 EOD with a SOG wire stripper.

The challenge says "supertool, core, hacks" what tools are meant by hacks ?
I will use the Super Tool , Super Tool 200 , Super tool 300 and the CORE and whatever is meant by hacks.

Use my ST300 to open a package with a Garant 111mm SAK along with bunch of SAK scales for future use, I never EDC this tool, and since PST is the very first plier-based MT I ever owned, I am rocking this feeling of familiarity, it is almost like Deja Vu.

Day 1
Zis vill be my secret veapon hahahahhh... it komes in a small package, but wait until you see what is inside...
It is ze SuperTool 300 VX (Versatility Expansion)!
I did try to use the bit driver extension with the flat screwdriver but it proved too thick, so I had to go for a dedicated screwdriver after all. Versatile yes, but access to cramped spaces is difficult. No pics survive of this smaller failure.

I will say, the ST 300 is a big tool. I seem to notice it a lot on my belt. I haven't ben carrying a pliers-based multi recently, so maybe it's just a matter of getting used to it again. But it does seem bulky at the moment.

Used the plain and serrated blades both. Cut brush with the serrated blade, then sharpened the ends of the weedeater string (it's the way you have to do with a Stihl Autocut head)
Cutters cut the weedeater string.
Phillips screwdriver disassembled a model car to examine a non-working pullback motor. Cracked gear (but surprisingly, not a mainspring as usual) was the problem--what do you expect; it's 40 years old! Stuff don't last forever, especially when it's a Woolworth store brand. But I may goof around with 3D printing--never made a CAD file; never 3D printed anything. The LM handles both 1&2 Phillips well. Just wish it had the same tiny one as original model and PST. But the Surge has that, in the form of the tiny bit driver.

So far so good gents. I want to be a part of this challenge even though I've already done it, because the ST300 is a very capable tool and one of my favorites, but I can not guarantee that I'll remember to post a picture every day or if we get an early season hurricane if I'll even have computer access for the whole challenge. Today is the first day of Atlantic Hurricane Season and I rely on my ST300 whenever the time comes to shutter the windows and prepare for a storm. If we get hit by any of the predicted storms the Super Tool 300 may not leave my side for weeks at a time. Here's a picture from 2017 of my ST300 next to a weather radio as the hurricane watch for Irma became a hurricane warning. That means expect storm conditions within 24 hours. Today's picture is the same ST300 next to some lanterns.

Hello to Day 2.

:cheers:
Too true! :D
Day 1: As I've said before I started this challenge--June is when a lot of fence and yard work gets done, and the ST300 is usually with me those days anyway.
Used the plain and serrated blades both. Cut brush with the serrated blade, then sharpened the ends of the weedeater string (it's the way you have to do with a Stihl Autocut head)
Cutters cut the weedeater string.
Phillips screwdriver disassembled a model car to examine a non-working pullback motor.

Using my ST300 to fish out a rice wrap traditionally served during the month of Dragon Boat Festival...When camping, I do like having Pliers-based MT for grabbing hot cookware off the grill when I don't have my gloves on.

Barry beat me to it but I also have some .50 cal ammo cans lying around, one of which I have converted to a tool box ages ago.
Day 2
The pic shows some of the additions I made to make the ST300 into a secret weapon. First of all the small bit holder ground and drilled to graft onto the handle and fixed by a repurposed Wave pivot. Then the ABS (strengthened with carbon fibre) scales that hold Vic tweezers, toothpick, pen and a Firefly ferro rod. The latter is best used with the saw blade which on this tool was conveniently made detachable, but that is a story for another day.

I need to do that scissors mod on mine
Well, scissors from a Wave are a simple drop in, if modifying Vic scissors is too much work.
This brings me to
Day 3
Coffee and the ST300VX' scissors!
Playing around with various bits and pieces when I was modding the 300, I discovered that the tang profile of the Wave's internal implements is smaller than that of the ST or internal Surge implements, but that the lock slot's position, width and lock resting distance from the pivot axis is identical between the two ranges. In other words, downward compatibility is given with no functional impairment. Thus the Wave scissors fit, and lock as if it had always been so intended.

ST300 hanging out with my newborn, did some box cutting in the morning, but having a snapshot with a newborn is more memorable, my world now rotates around this little guy.

I used it quite a lot today and for things I wouldn't normally use a multitool for, like removing sealant embedded deep in brickwork. I was not gentle with the tool and was quite convinced it was well on its way to achieving a more weathered look by the end of the day. However, despite having been crammed, scraped and crunched with stone and brick, it was remarkably unscathed by the end of it all. Unfortunately, I didn't take a pic at the time, but I did, however, take one later while having a well deserved coffee break. :tu:

Day 3
Powerwashing a deck today and a few screws and bolts needed tightening.
BO OG to the rescue
:like: I had to do a partial teardown and rebuild of ours with nothing but a Klein Electrician Hybrid. There was no simple way to remove the air filter; so a couple screws had to come out. The toolchest was locked, and I didn't have the key. At least it helps with those blunt nosed pliers, and by far, the best drivers I have seen.
Day 3:
The truck wouldn't start, and for some reason, the positive terminal popped off. It was all the way tight, so I have no idea what's going on. New battery and new positive battery cable. I could not find the proper wrench size (really odd size; which for a '98 Dodge is weird), and after using the ST300, Vise Grips, and everything else, I finally ended up crimping the terminal itself with the 420 Channellocks.
Today's use;
Pliers: The truck work, picking up a screw I'd dropped behind the feed box in the barn.
Awl: starting a screw in the barn.
Phillips; putting a screw up in the barn, while not being used, so I could get it if I needed it.
And I cut a few things with the plain edged blade.

I've been carrying my Swiss Champ and Spirit in this leather scabbard in my back pocket for months, but the Swiss Champ won't fit with the ST300. I am going to have to carry a smaller SAK this month. Maybe a Huntsman. I haven't decided yet, but I have to have scissors.

Day 4
One other way my ST300VX is a bit unusual is the inclusion of the blade exchanger from an older Surge (the blade exchanger on newer ones has an extra spring which adds width, off the top of my head making it 3.7 mm instead of 3.1, and may impair extension and retraction).
Obi1shinobee inspired me to do this :salute: with his Youtube video:
YouTube video (https://youtu.be/kYW7LgLnngI)
the result of which can be seen to be still going strong above in his Day 3 post (https://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,80653.msg1944502.html#msg1944502). In fact the 300 is the first tool I modded, come to think of it.
The mod involved quite a bit of filing by hand, as the tang profile will need to be converted from liner lock mode to tang slot lock. There is just enough material to do this and keep a tang profile which is approximately equal to the original ST300 one. Looking very carefully, one can see that the tool axis has unfortunately ended up being a few degrees off, but luckily not enough to impair function.
Big advantage of this mod of course is that you save the slot previously occupied by either the original saw or the file, plus you have the Surge's file, in a detachable way that makes it usable for touching up the blades. Downside is you have to carry either the saw or the file separately, but that is where the Skinth comes in.
I have added further mods to this beauty, including one which may be considered by some to be slightly redundant in view of the one I just described. Can anyone guess what it is?

Used the drivers quite a bit this morning. While the phillips did a sterling job, especially with the little bit of extra reach, I did find the locks to be a bit of a faff - there was a couple of times I almost wished I just had a PST. Saying that, my fingers were remarkably free of blood blisters at the end of it. :2tu:

Great action pics today folks :tu:
No action foreseen today for me on this...
Day 5
Time for more unusualness instead. The sharp-eyed may have noticed a black implement among the silver in one of yesterday's pics and must have stayed awake wondering. In order for the tension and anticipation not to become utterly unbearable, here's the story.
The extra T shank jig saw blade holder is a spare part that I sourced from our man in Russia and originally equipping the rare EOD version of the ST300.
As to why, well, I had read several accounts of people trying to use normal thickness T shank blades in the Surge's stock blade exchanger and noticing a lot of wiggle, due to the thicker-than-standard dimensions used by LM for the wood saw and file blades. And of course, the one I added to my ST was the old type, without the extra anti-wiggle spring added to newer ones (see yesterday's story). So I also added the EOD one. Now I can fit all standard T shank blades without wiggle, including the newer nice ones with diamond powder coating. After all, you never know, one might end up where iron bars need to be cut ;)

Great action pics today folks :tu:
No action foreseen today for me on this...
Day 5
Time for more unusualness instead. The sharp-eyed may have noticed a black implement among the silver in one of yesterday's pics and must have stayed awake wondering. In order for the tension and anticipation not to become utterly unbearable, here's the story.
The extra T shank jig saw blade holder is a spare part that I sourced from our man in Russia and originally equipping the rare EOD version of the ST300.
As to why, well, I had read several accounts of people trying to use normal thickness T shank blades in the Surge's stock blade exchanger and noticing a lot of wiggle, due to the thicker-than-standard dimensions used by LM for the wood saw and file blades. And of course, the one I added to my ST was the old type, without the extra anti-wiggle spring added to newer ones (see yesterday's story). So I also added the EOD one. Now I can fit all standard T shank blades without wiggle, including the newer nice ones with diamond powder coating. After all, you never know, one might end up where iron bars need to be cut ;)

I hear through the TV grapevine I'm being considered for the new series, but part of the proposed contract says I need to commit a real crime for added realism (reality TV is creeping into drama series, it seems). Under those circumstances I think I won't be allowed a live stream... I'll find a way to smuggle the ST300VX in though, no worries. For reasons you'll understand I won't disclose how exactly.

Went to 5 Pawn Shops and it was a bust ::) I saw 1 OG Wave but the price was too high for the condition it was in, so no deals for me :ahhh
I've got my driver's license now; and I've made it a mission to start looking more into thrift shops/pawn shops/antique malls that I pass while doing errands to see what they have. Unfortunately "Price was too high for the condition it was in" is pretty much the norm for those I have visited; along with loads of low end, junk.

PE blade opened a package, pliers did some work on a gate, cutters cut out a small wire nail, and I used the entire tool folded out straight, with the file stuck out, to scratch a place on my back I couldn't reach.
Since I was told my pants had to be washed today; I decided to do a pocket dump with everything out.

Day 6
Another non-stock item which I, like many others, have added is the large bit driver from a Surge instead of the fixed Phillips. You sacrifice a bit of reach (although as shown below you gain it back if you insert the MUT's long bit, or alternatively the bit extender... but then it won't fold back into the handle) but the tool becomes more versatile overall without necessarily having to pack a loose bit driver adapter. This replacement is a straight drop in, bearing in mind however that the bit driver is 5 mm thick against the about 3.7 mm of the Phillips' shank (IIRC).

Day 6
Not had any use, so just touching up the PE blade on my favourite Super tool.....
British MOD Core? :like: Aside from SAKs and a few Canadian-issue rigger's knives, I do not own a miltary-issue MT. Need to get a BO MP600.
Today was a rather heavy use day. I first used the large slotted screwdriver to hold my keyring open so I could put the truck key on. That didn't work; but the medium screwdriver did. The tip was thin enough, and the extra length provided just enough leverage. Also, working to cover up a hole left by some missing boards in the bottom of the barn, I straightened and pulled nails with the pliers (ran out of screws; but luckily I'd brought my good framing hammer along with the cordless driver), cut away a board that was in the way with the saw (roughly 2x4 thickness), and started a screw with the awl. Also used the PE blade to cut away promotional offers from a grocery store receipt.

I've given that a lot of thought lately Kev. I might even be able to get away with a Spartan or Climber for the tools I usually use.
Barry, does it mean you might be joining the SAKMC sometime? :pok: :D
I have been carrying and using the SAK mountaineer for many years, and I think it has all the favorite tools(blades, openers, scissors) I really to address 85% of my mundane urban daily needs. Most important of all, it has a metal saw which can file/saw wood or metal which a regular SAK saw cannot do, it probably is one of the most underrated amongst SAK tools. I know you will be doing an Explorer 30 days challenge soon, but if you ever get a chance, please do consider to give the Mountaineer a try. :D

If I wasn't doing the challenge then I'd probably just carry my Ranger or a PX in my pocket. I still wear a SOG Sync II as a belt buckle, and I have a swisscard in my work ID wallet anyway so I still would be carrying more than I need around the office.
As the saying goes, I'd rather have it and not need it, than need it and not have it.

Day7
Day off for the Dragon boat festival, end up eating at a Burger joint, and watch John Wick 3 afterwards. :popcorn: It's a strange thought how I seem not to mind grease on hands when making/fixing stuff, yet I was so careful not to get burger grease on my tool. :D

Day 7: Vanity pic with my Spyderco Autonomy.
:like: If autos were ever made legal to carry in Virginia (or even buy; state law says you can't buy or carry the things; unless you're military or police) or I were to move to a state that allowed carry of autos, the Autonomy would probably be the model I would buy the first day. It's built for heavy use, and at under $200, a steal when it comes to professional-grade American made automatic knives.

I used the can opener, which I sharpened, to break down a box for the recycle bin. I think in all the time I've owned the ST300 I may have opened 1 or 2 cans, but the sharpened can opener works a treat for opening packages or cutting the tape on boxes.

I'm in the same boat. Especially if you want one to fit the Gen 1 Wave. Seems they are less common than the early model that fit the PSTs and Super Tool.

More wet weather again today (according to the weather, it's supposed to let up Tuesday, but will likely be muddy for the rest of next week); so not much again. Day 8, opened a package. The Craftsman needs some work. The tools are too stiff, and the pliers floppy. I tightened them a bit too much, so it needs fine-tuning. Had to remove a ton of various bio-matter from the insides of it. The Sheffield is actually quite nice--everything works; which is weird. I have another Sheffield model, with different handles, and a lot of the tools don't work too good despite being identical.

Bear with me guys on this last episode of the serial in which I extol the virtues of what may by now feel like an interminable list of mods to the ST300...
Day 9
A last (phew!) small mod is the making of a small notch in the large fixed screwdriver and the application of a very slight taper to reduce the arguably a tad too great thickness of the end, so that it becomes a small pry bar e.g for smaller nails whilst retaining most of its screw driving capability. I have a feeling I need to make the notch a little bit deeper though. See comparison pic with the BO ST's stock screwdriver below.

Found in the very bottom, yet had to use the needle nose pliers to grab and extract as my fingers could not fit in that corner nook.
Then used the 3D Phillips to put back together and placed in my parts box for another project. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190609/0c2378789a6bfdb3fc9d6b4157eefc85.jpg)

Spent most of the day cutting overgrown grass. Supertool stood at the ready in case of mechanical emergency! Forgot to take action pics at the time, but I'm going to have to do a second cut tomorrow, so will take some then.

Had to pinch some bits off of the old BBQ to sort my new one with a rotisserie. Can't buy the parts I want and the old bits look very similar , just holes in different places.
It also saved a few dollars so perhaps there could be start to a new P2.

True, there are quite a few flat head driver options with the Super Tool. I've already used at least two of them, so I'm inclined to keep those options.
I don't really need the serrated knife or the can opener. But I like the opener more than the serrated knife..... Maybe I'd keep the can opener and trade out the serrated knife for a pair of scissors............. :dunno:

Cut some weed eater string with the cutters, and cut some brush with the serrated blade.
(https://i.imgur.com/JAKXVnV.jpg)
I uh, forgot the cordless impact driver, and had to remove the screws holding the feed box shut (bear got in it 2-3 months ago, and we've been bear-proofing it with an old piece of molding held on by long screws). The ST300 Phillips, held on tight and did not cam out or slip, even though the screws were in there pretty tight. After that, I used the saw to cut some heavier brush.

These wire cutters are great. Used the cutters to snip some tough, plastic strapping used in the packaging of a new garden hose. Effortlessly cut these wide straps.
Nice use, Nix! :tu:

D_T, nice use! That reminds me how everyone has a knife for sharpening pencils in the old days! :dd:LOL, in the OLD DAYS I carried a knife to school, I would sharpen my #2 pencils without leaving my desk.
Today a knife at school is forbidden, next will be sharpen pencils!

I tried putting in a rebar pliers before. It will snap nicely when opened. But I think I remember it's a little thinner so some washers are needed to fill the space.

Today I will confess, the REBARS, did get some handling and cleaning. They have been neglected as this is my 3rd challenge in as many months. But will admit, the ST300 is a better tool for me than the Surge. It is just a big brother Rebar

Later today, I headed to the upper fields to check some fences; so I used the MOLLE sheath. It is the sheath this ST300 was supplied with when new. Useless for belts, but it means it's a lot easier to access if you've got the gear. I got the pack for my birthday about 2 years after the ST300 was purchased; and not long after, I attached the sheath to the pack. And since I now have several belt sheaths (at first, I used the Vic Hunter Pro sheath, then I bought a ton of the Realtree sheaths when LM was clearing them out) it's kept permanently on the pack.

This is my day 13 pic. not terribly exciting but a new toy none the less.
Trying to get the start temperature of my concrete so we can work out the maximum core temp of a larger base. If the section is over 1.5m thick the core temperature can reach reach up to 70C or 158F. good for causing cracking.
On the morrow then.

Got a new lanyard for my bike keys
But didn’t like the big attachment
So I took the old one off the old lanyard
By using the serrated blade to cut the old one
And undone the stitches on the new lanyard
So I could swap them over now I just need to
Use a needle and thread to put it back together

Refilling the suet feeder with a block of "Mealworm Banquet"...Oh my! That sounds about perfect for feather visitors.
I place mealworms in my bird bath and the Eastern Bluebirds pluck them out for their treat.
My suet cakes are enjoyed by several varieties of woodpeckers, Bluejays, Nuthatches, and pesky blackbirds.
Combining the two just seems so perfect!!!

Day 13. Used the PE blade to cut open battery packaging while organizing the batteries. I also used the pliers straightening steeples while fixing a section of fence. Tried to sharpen the tips of the steeple with the file, but the example on my ST300 is pretty bad. I guess because it's bead-blasted; and not the darker, more normal color on newer ST300s (mine's a 2013 model).
This was what was in my pockets as I put the chickens up this evening.

Linesman's/combination pliers are quite handy to keep along with an LM. I've been looking at that very pair of Knipex, but most of mine are American (Proto and Klein), save one small 6" Knipex pair I like to tuck in a pocket and a couple pairs of old English Elliot Lucas pliers from the 1950s.

Excellent shot, Fuzzy.
(Can any us expect an invitation to the wedding?)
Wedding's off! I turned my back for a second this morning and she's at it with another cock! Not only that, but she tried to make out like nothing happened... before the shame finally set in.

So, here's my original Super Tool, and one of my first actually. I got it about 5 years ago; before getting the newer model not long after. I may be issuing this to the truck. It's a 1998 Dodge Ram 1500, and the Super Tool is a 0498 (April, 1998) model.
On another note, I think I'm finally getting the hang of the cellphone camera. While it's not as good as the busted Fujifilm, I guess it proves it's the photographer, not the camera.

No uses for the ST 300, but I was glad it came along for the adventure. I carried it without the sheath in my lumbar pack. No issues with that. :tu:

Some more shots from the hike for those who like a little scenery:
Show content
Started low on a trail and headed in...
(https://i.imgur.com/8gtrKdo.jpg)
Lush vegetation for this area. We've had a fair bit of snow and rain this Spring.
(https://i.imgur.com/EP7w6P8.jpg)
Surprised a moose!
(https://i.imgur.com/jOTz1jU.jpg)
Followed the moose for a short while but he disappeared into the woods.
Tracked back to the stream in the bottom of the drainage.....
(https://i.imgur.com/Qppr9et.jpg)
Kept climbing up to an alpine meadow with a great view:
(https://i.imgur.com/uQGpSby.jpg)
Still a little snow on some sheltered areas. From there headed down into the next drainage. There is a low spot between mountains which always holds a bit of water and usually some wildlife, but nothing spotted there today.
(https://i.imgur.com/o2n8RsG.jpg)
But that water forms the basis of the stream that runs back down to the road where the truck was parked....somewhere.
(https://i.imgur.com/QVCAGMf.jpg)
Long hike back to the truck and arrived home tired and weary....and in trouble. I was gone longer than Mrs Nix expected (she knew where I was going, but thought I'd be home a couple hours earlier) and supper was going to be late. :facepalm: Well, sometimes a good trip is worth a night in the doghouse.....

Serrated blade cut some branches on a bush I couldn't get to with the hedge trimmer. I was hoping I could get our cheap, 8 year old grill fixed (some screws had come loose; and it was falling apart) back solid, but every time I turned around, something went wrong. The screws were so soft, they stripped easily. While on one side of the grill, and my toolbox was on the other; I used the Phillips to remove a screw. Seeing as bad a shape as the grill was in, my folks bought a new model today. We left at 8, and after waiting at both Lowe's and Hardees, didn't get back until after 9.

It's been a great day playing with the new drill press, built a jig for 91mm SAK disassembly and had fun restoring an old SAK. I was too absorbed to take any action pictures, but ST300 did help to retrieve the brass pin from the jig when it got punched out from the chassis.

The point of having a serrated blade is to cut through fibrous materials isn't it? I have found that while the Leatherman serrated edge blade on the ST300 works great on rope and soft materials I couldn't get it to cut through my palm fronds. It just wouldn't do it, barely breaking the surface before binding. No matter. The saw blade went through with very little effort and considerably less profanity required. Oh, and it is raining again. :dunno:

Later, I was working outside, replacing the cap on a retaining wall. To do so, I had to back out some hex-head lag bolts. They were well sunken in to the cap piece. Their holes had filled with dirt and dust, making it impossible to get a socket driver to get a good purchase. The ST 300's awl came to the rescue, cleaning out the debris and allowing the socket to properly seat.

Day 17.
Used the pliers to remove and reattach the rubber tie down used to ensure one of the yard gates stays shut. Tomorrow will involve some equipment maintenance, so it will likely see some real use. These past few days have been errands more than work.
Switched to the Victorinox Hunter Pro sheath. With the horizontal sleeve on the back, it stays where I put it on my belt, and is far tougher than the nylon. It's more or less been the sheath I've used with the ST300 since new; since the factory sheath mine came with was MOLLE only (I was supposed to be getting the leather sheath, but was mistakenly sent the MOLLE version, but I didn't mind; as the MOLLE was more expensive at the time). It's survived multiple wipe downs with Lysol wipes (I had to wipe both the sheath and the pack it was attached to via MOLLE it down regularly when I was riding the bus to the community college where I was taking mechatronics classes; let's just say I had to sit next to some people with non-existent hygiene) to the point the printed Victorinox emblem wore off, being dragged through brush (it now serves as a hiking/camp pack), and who knows what else on my belt.

Good eye, Loopy!
I have a couple packs or bags. I usually select a bag based on the gear I'm carrying. The gear changes depending on the trip duration, weather, food/water needs, etc. Today was a 7 miles hike with mild weather. I packed along some rain gear because it seemed, despite a sunny forecast, there was a chance of rain.
(https://i.imgur.com/6lQZWMc.jpg)
There was also a chance for it to get hot, so I packed extra water. Hence the larger bag today.

I did, however, grab this old Collins brush axe out of the barn this evening when I fed the sheep, and got started sharpening it. I filed the edge a bit, I can see an improvement, but I'm only 50/50 on whether I know what I'm doing or not. Had to use the pliers to release the clamp I was using to secure the brush axe to the work table.
(https://i.imgur.com/rN46goH.jpg)
Also hung up this old license plate I found buried under some junk in the workshop with the Phillips and medium flat screwdrivers. Surprisingly, no too banged up for a 77 year old plate. I only found two screws with a pitch that would securely latch into the peg board, but they were different heads. Kinda staged the shot with the WD-40 and duct tape, but along with the Leatherman, I think I can get out of most binds.

A vanity pic for Day 19. I used the pliers to pull some lost change from under the seat of my car but didn't have my phone on me.

Was trying to change a few pin badges on my storage box lid and
One pin badge didn’t go in properly when I pulled it back out
I noticed that I had bent the pin badly so I used the pliers to straighten it
And used a different pin to make the hole on the lid for this
badge so I wouldn’t bend it again this time it went in fine

I had a chance to compare my ST 300 to a buddy's OG ST....BOOGST to be specific. I gotta say, the BOOGST is very nice. Overall, the quality of the BOOGST feels a bit better and it is a slimmer tool in several dimensions. It feels like a more solid tool, overall.
The ST 300's replaceable cutters are nice, and the locks are easier to use than those on the BOOGST, but on balance, I think the ST 300 may actually be a step in the wrong direction.

Great analysis, and though I don't own an OGST, I have a feeling that it has a direct lineage from the original PST, and that itself is an elegant tool.

The OG ST does appear stout, like.
Maybe the Rebar was the result of complaints that the ST300 was larger and request made to downsize like the OG

Post by: Nix on June 21, 2019, 02:27:45 PM
What do you think of the 300 ?
I lack Barry's enthusiasm here....
It's bulky, but a nice tool. The wire cutters rock, and the pliers are good. I'm not sure it really give me a while lot more utility than a Rebar, however. Compared to the old Super Tools, I don't think the build quality is as nice. Still, for someone looking for a hefty multiplier, I think it's a nice choice. * sneaks longing glance at the SwissTool *
Despite it's large size, they have managed to fit a relatively small tool selection into the big handles. Three of those tools are flat drivers....which would be nice if the world still used flat-head screws. Two of those tools are knives....two knives?
It seems like the rare person who carries a big multitool but doesn't carry a pocket knife. In my neck of the woods every one carries a pocket knife. Some (a few) people carry multitools.
So, that means a person with a ST is going to be carrying three (3) knives. A bit overkill for most people. Why two knives on the ST? Why no scissors?
No scissors. Leatherman scissors are OK, I like the ones I have on my Charge. Sure they'd add some complexity to the ST 300, but scissors would add another level of versatility. A clean miss, in my opinion.
The file on mine feels....well, let's say I'm not really expecting much from it. I think I'll get a chance to test it later today. I'm hoping to be pleasantly surprised.
In short, the ST 300 seems......fine. Not brilliantly designed for a multitool, not really as nice as the OG STs, and seems to reflect a step down in quality for Leatherman. A worrying trend that I believe I've seen lately. I suspect the ST 300 is aimed at the American market, where bigger is often confused with better.
But....I guess I like it.
I suspect that after the challenge, the ST 300 will get slipped into my motorcycle tank bag for use on the road when a spare pair of pliers might be handy. For other EDC, camping, fishing, hunting, and hiking needs, a smaller multitool will likely get called into action.
Post by: Wspeed on June 21, 2019, 02:35:03 PM
more tools that I need for what I use it for
Especially the flat driver and a pair of scissors
I still like the ST300 but haven’t got as much use for it
And I will definitely still use it but not as much as the Surge :tu:

Funny how different people's points of view are :cheers: I would rather use my ST300 many many times over my Swisstool X :salute: but that's why we have a forum and so many manufacturers and models of MTs :tu:
Well, Speedy, you already know my experience with the Surge...... :facepalm:

Am I mistaken, or are the parts on the ST 300 MIM'ed. The OG ST parts were machined....? :think:

Jack, I have a Swisstool RS... it's a whole different animal feel wise IMO. I like the Philips head screwdriver and the wire cutters on the 300 better, but there's something about the Vic that I can't describe. There's a familiar feel to the Super Tool, but I was a PST carrier before I had any of the other Leatherman tools. The Vic tools feel right to me because I carried nothing but a Huntsman for many years. Life was easier before choices, but not near as fun! :rofl:
Ain't that true..... :rofl:

Well, I know which Super Tool is getting my vote. I was removing a screw from an old plank and this happened :facepalm:
Very sorry about that, BR!
Can you tell, was that driver MIM (metal injection molded)? Looking at the broken tip might give you and idea if it appears quite grainy...... :think:
Post by: McStitchy on June 21, 2019, 08:36:56 PM
The Phillips should be MIM, or the bit holder on other LM models. I would assume these flat drivers to be stamped out from metal sheets and then hardened.
Like Nix said, how does the broken to look like please? :popcorn:

I twisted the small flat driver pretty bad (I was trying to remove a pretty messed up Phillips screw; the Phillips kept slipping, so I put the small flat driver into it), but never broke it (mine was made in 2013, making it an older model). LM did replace that implement even though I'd already straightened it. Even more reason MTs should have drop-forged tool steel drivers and pliers.

Barry, sorry to see this happened! Didn't expect it to be that 'quick', hope the warranty cover this. I agree with Nix on this one, looks 'drop forged'.
OK, confession: I try to keep an insulated mug or cup with me for those occasional times I get a coffee when I'm on the hoof. However, I forgot to pack one in my bag today and I ended up using a disposable cup. Naturally the lid's vent hole needed to be improved. Awl was up to the task.

Misplaced it before I took the photo, and it's getting late; so I grabbed the '98 ST again. Will carry it tomorrow. I've never used it once the whole challenge; and pretty much ever since I got the ST300. I personally dislike the locking mechanism; but it's a simplistic mechanism that works good if done right. It is, but I personally dislike having to open a blade to release a screwdriver.

I've never used it once the whole challenge; and pretty much ever since I got the ST300. I personally dislike the locking mechanism; but it's a simplistic mechanism that works good if done right. It is, but I personally dislike having to open a blade to release a screwdriver.

Nice one Cody :tu:
I'm totally ok with the locking on the OGST if not in a hurry or else (outdoors, hiking, hobby). Otherwise I usually grab the Surge.
It's kinda use case related for me.

Hello day 23
The not so surgical precision used to remove half the inside of my travel tea mug because it wont let me have any when I want it.
Broke half off and that seems to be enough to do the trick.

Great pics on day 22
Just a pic of my CORE with a WENGER luggage scale :hatsoff:
Cool pic Ivo, but...
it either weights nothing or 15kg? :dunno: :D
Post by: Wspeed on June 23, 2019, 02:14:04 PM
Opened the lid on my storage box this morning
Only to find one of the pin badges laying in the box
But the pin was still stuck on the lid so I have a broken pin badge
Used the pliers to remove the pin from the lid
Luckily I still had more of the same pin badge
so I replaced it and stuck it in the same place
Hopefully it won’t happen again

Great pics everyone! Day 23 has us busy with yard work. I used the Philips Head to unstick a stubborn wood screw, cut some stumps out for us to mow, and jumped a stuck solenoid with the file. In spite of the broken screwdriver, I like this tool!
Seems like a busy day for you and your ST.
Great to see the saw being used frequently :like:

I thought the wind that the storm was bringing in might blow out my little alcohol stove, so I built a wind break with some rock. All rocks returned to their natural resting sites after lunch. ;) :

Mrs Nix likes shorter walks, but I tend to set a quick pace, so she sat this one out.
The area I was hiking today is low risk for bears. Some black bears, but not really known for Grizzlies. Mountain lions have been spotted around here (and would be a prime suspect in the case of that small deer carcass), but they don't usually mess with people. So no sidearm for this trip. Bear spray would be reasonable, but I left that at home, too. :-\

The imitation shark fin was taken off the car before I drove off. The real one is still firmly lodged on the rooftop (at least it was last time I looked) ready to scare off the pigeons >:D
The sheath is Canadian-made and called Skinth. Forum member Metropolicity set up the firm years ago. Skinths are available in a lot of variants and sizes; this one is a Shield L, I believe. Made to order but pretty quick dispatch all the same at a very reasonable price.

Yes, I did remember Metro first came onto the forum a long while ago :D , and he was a pretty good modder too. Back then there weren't as many options for MT sheath, so it was rather nice to have different models to choose from. :tu:

Not such a happy day. Left in the dark , early and a wee bit rushed. Got 50 km up the road on my way to an all day meeting and had a quick check to make sure the LM was in the pouch.
Aaaaah !!! Shock and horror and and a few nasty words all at once. The ST 300 had been left on the kitchen counter !!
A whole day without a LM loomed. I am a fidgety sort of bloke and often the LM ends up as my fidget spinning thing. Spent the day fiddling with an elastic band . Very very sad and I mean both sad because I left LM at home and
sad because I am telling this story of sad I can be.
Anyway there was happy ending on my return as the ST was where I left her.
At least I had not lost it somewhere.

Not such a happy day. Left in the dark , early and a wee bit rushed. Got 50 km up the road on my way to an all day meeting and had a quick check to make sure the LM was in the pouch.
Aaaaah !!! Shock and horror and and a few nasty words all at once. The ST 300 had been left on the kitchen counter !!
A whole day without a LM loomed. I am a fidgety sort of bloke and often the LM ends up as my fidget spinning thing. Spent the day fiddling with an elastic band . Very very sad and I mean both sad because I left LM at home and
sad because I am telling this story of sad I can be.
Anyway there was happy ending on my return as the ST was where I left her.
At least I had not lost it somewhere.
:cheers:
:rofl: :rofl:... sorry... :rofl:

No uses for the ST300 today. Just sat in my pocket like a boat anchor. I haven't warmed up to sheath carry, not sure why. So lately I've been just carrying the ST 300 in a pocket; however, it really is too big for pocket carry. So......I'm ready for this challenge to be done. :-\
(https://i.imgur.com/ZNJSQhO.jpg)
Same here. I tend to throw it my back pocket... So most of the time I look like I've smurf myself, but I am enjoying it and this challenge none the less. Although flawed, it is a phenomenonally robust stout tool at the very least.

:iagree: Has some power, I'll give it that.
Although, Barry's experience with the MIM'ed bits makes me wonder about how liberally I'll use the descriptor "robust stout" in the future, at least when referring to the ST 300. I've never been overly trusting of MIM'ed parts.

It's funny to think some of you don't like the Supertool (my favorite series by LM as a while and I also consider the Rebar to be part of the family) :o :D
Well, the Rebar is a personal favorite.
I can't say that I dislike the ST 300, but it doesn't seem to add a proportionate level of ability for it's increased size, as compared to the Rebar. I.e., much bigger tool to carry around with little added ability. This may just be a reflection of my own uses and needs.
And there is no question in my mind that the original Super Tool would suit me better than the 300. I think the OG ST is a superior tool in terms of both quality and utility for the size.

I too pocket carry my tools in the lower pocket of my cargo pants, and I can't help but to be quite aware my ST300's weight since it is a little less than 2 times more than what I carry(SAK mountaineer). I too think rebar is probably a much easier carry.

We make these probes we stick in concrete to monitor temperature development . It can get upwards of 70C/ 158 F in large pours.
The working bit is small electronic bit we attach to wires and cover in plastic and silicone to protect it. Sometimes they get damaged in the making and do not work properly so out they go. I don't always biff them and forget they are no good. Today's new trick with the 300 is to just cut off the plastic part and then you know straight away they are no good and you must get some more made.

A bit of a long story so get out the :popcorn:
, I like to use the IPod Nano 6 for my music and always have one around when out and about. The 6 is great because it is small and has a clip so it clips on my t shirts etc etc and the wire goes inside my shirt and is out the way.
Problem is I forget they are there and leave them there and She Who Always Must Be Obeyed (Swambo for short ) puts the t shirts in the wash and Ipods do not take kindly to a wash cycle, cold or warm.
Every now and again I buy a replacement on fleabay . Fleabay does not ship to NZ mostly so NZ Post have set up a depot in the US and you can forward your goodies there and they flick them on for a small fee.
Anyway about six weeks ago I bought 2 ipods from 2 different suppliers, one red one grey, and they both turned up on the same day. The red one was processed normally and sent on. The grey one was deemed "Dangerous goods " and they did not want to send it.
I waited till the red one was in my grubby paws and then complained as to why is a red one good to send but not a grey one etc etc. After some deliberation they then said the packaging was not good enough. It was a whole bunch of bubble wrap in a secure bag.
They have then at their cost repacked my Ipod nano 6 and it arrived today. The pic shows the box, the ST300 used for opening the box and the Ipod. A little bit of overkill methinks.
Anyway in writing this saga I have found the moral of the story. Do not let SWambo wash your ipods and then you will have more money for Leathermans.

I told him he could borrow the Super Tool to pull the tooth, but he seemed to think less dramatic and more sophisticated (and presumably expensive) methods could be employed.
I did find a little time to tie a few fishing flies (A Bird's Nest, which is the name of the fly, not the results of my efforts). ST 300 lacks scissors, so I resorted to some bench scissors.....

Lost my wrench some time ago, that's been pretty much the only way to get it loose. There is a collar that screws onto the body (replacing the plastic one) that is designed to serve as a wrench; but one, when the collet is on tight, it's useless, and secondly, it's a lot fatter than the stock collar. And to make matters worse, that's the third wrench I've lost in 5 years.

:like: A friend of mine has a General Motors M1 from WWII that was his father's. Been thinking about getting one myself, but at $1,000 a little out of my price range. High Standard made guns for both the US military and the JC Higgins line of guns Sears sold from the '30s-50s. Savage made a .22 for Western Auto that was, in fact, the same gun the military used for training. Those are fairly cheap; most under $200. Granddad has a JC Higgins 12GA that is to some, a better gun than the Remington 870. Can't wait to shoot that one. I can easily get one myself; as it's only about a $125 gun.

The challenge for me is not putting them down and losing them or not having them when I need 'em. So, today I made a neck holder for my glasses so I could keep them close at hand. I have a morbid fear of hanging stuff around my neck without some sort of safety feature, so I used the ST 300 to snip a short piece of safety chain to add to the neck lanyard.
So far, so good.....

Day 27: Fired up my old Optimus stove. The Super Tool pliers came in handy adjusting the flame when things got a little hot.
:like: I've got to get myself a good camping stove. Esbits are great; but don't expect to do anything but boil water for your tea/coffee or warm up canned Beanie Weenies or similar (i.e. Chef Boyardee). But they are quite small; and fit into a small bag with my hobo knife and cooking pot.

I too like the Esbit stove small size, but didn't like the fuel that comes with the stove. It always leave a soot under the pot and it's pretty annoying to either put detergent before the boil, or srumb hard afterwards. Eventually, I migrated to those alcohol stove.

A Specialized Hardtail is a nice ride, yet gives you plenty of feel on every bump.
Is the frame a Large or XL? And by height of the seat, I am guessing you are 6’3” or North an inch or two.
My bikes are XL frame or 27” by the Schwinn standards. But of late I have been lowering the seat post for on/off ease.
Thanks for the pretty pictures and I do like bike porn!

It's an XL frame, LC. You are right, I'm a tad over 6'3" when not slouching. I didn't like the shocks up front and installed a rigid set of forks. Also swapped out the shifter. And the seat. And the pedals...... So.....it's a '89, '90, '92, '94, '07 Schimapelized trail-crawler. :D

It seems like the folks that don't like to sheath carry don't get on with the bigger MT's , like Alan said to each his own :tu:That's a good observation indeed, I live and work in a metropolis environment, and even a sheath carry could prove inconvenient at times( I know it is kinda ridiculous...). So I pocket carry most of time or ranger band carry it when it is winter time with heavier clothing.

Can't believe it is already day28, I was dreading a little bit at the beginning thinking this is a big tool to lug around in pocket, it still is, but I quite like it! ST300 helped to cut open some ramen flavoring packets for lunch today.

It seems like the folks that don't like to sheath carry don't get on with the bigger MT's , like Alan said to each his own :tu:So, the thing is, I don't like to sheath carry either. I'm a big guy, broad shouldered and 305 lbs in my boots, and anything on the outside of my belt gets hung up in doorways and on chair backs and such. I prefer to pocket carry my multi tools vertically in my back pocket. When the tools started to wear through the fabric of the pockets I started using a leather pouch which solved that problem. The ST300 is a little bigger than the Spirit I normally carry when not in a challenge so it didn't fit the pouch as well, but I've made it work. The Spirit fits in the pouch with a Swiss Champ, but when I put the 300 in with the champ it was too tight so I've been carrying the 300 with a Huntsman. The leather pouch makes it comfortable. It just feels like I'm carrying a second wallet and balances the actual wallet in the other back pocket.

So a day of travel and adventure with two of my grandsons (17 & 10)!!!
Yet, the ST300 (BO) will be along for any needs that it can provide service

I thought about making a pocket caddy of some kind for the ST 300, but it just seems to be happiest in a belt sheath. The odd thing here is that I will sheath carry a fixed blade or Buck 110 without complaint. Perhaps the boxy nature of the ST 300 seems to make it snag on things more easily for me.
I think Steve is right, for me anyway, I prefer a multitool that I _can_ slip into a pocket, even if I belt carry 90% of the rime. I will say that for the second half of the challenge I have been slipping the ST 300 into a pants pocket and just carrying it that way, ore days than not.
Perhaps next ST challenge I'll make a pocket caddy for the back pocket....... :dunno:

It seems like the folks that don't like to sheath carry don't get on with the bigger MT's , like Alan said to each his own :tu:
And I usually do with pretty much anything bigger than a Juice or PST; or anything bigger than 4-5 layers with SAKs. Except with two exceptions: around the house where I wear sweatpants or lightweight gym shorts; or when in a semi-sensitive environment where knives aren't barred; but it's not a good idea to carry one in the open. I've had people make a fuss over the diminutive Classic being used, even! And a lot of people have those on their keys.
And a semi-lazy task for Day 28. I didn't want to have to drill holes in the wall again, and I felt that the area and screws where I had this shadow box were good for the fire truck technical drawing/build sheet I hung on the wall; so I used the Phillips to undo the screws enough to release the shadowbox. The frame will need new glass anyway, so while I'm out next week to get the glass, I'll get the proper hardware. The frame is a solid piece of chrome, so it's pretty heavy. But it does not fit the drawing well, so it might be replaced.

A chance to use the 200 to keep SWAMBO happy . The sealing ring on her new bottle of olive would not crack so it was out with the blade to break
the seal and then the pliers to remove it.
Despite the look in the pic no keyboards were harmed in the writing of this story !
Now it is time to retire to the man cave for a little cold one or two.

I started the challenge with ST next to my son, and I think it will only be appropriate to end it with few of this favorite toys. I was lucky to be gifted with a MT when I was young, Son, will you too find MT fun to play with someday? :dd:

The blueberries are a difficult to pick do to my large fingers.
The red raspberries are in a two day cycle, one day they are green, then next pick away.
Now the black raspberries, are amazingly tasty, not many of those make it to the container

I used the file to knock off some burrs and rough edges from the delightful Rinaldi axe that Fuzzbucket sent me. The machining process left a few rough edges , and it seemed only civilized to smooth them out a bit.
I also tried to clean up the burr from the cutting edge of the axe. The file appeared to bend the burr over, but not cut it off cleanly. I pulled out an actual Nicholson file and found that it 'bit' into the steel much better. I didn't expect much from the ST file, but I would like to think I could clean up an axe's edge with one, if needed; so this is a bit of a disappointment.
Since this is the last day of the challenge, I'll give a few wrap-up thoughts:
I've griped and whined about the size of the ST 300 throughout much of this challenge, and I still think it is a bit large for me to EDC. That isn't going to happen. However, I do like the power that the full-size of this tool provides. The LM Juice is nice, but it feels like I'm using jeweler's pliers. These feel like real pliers. And the wire snips are real workers. :tu:
I also appreciate that Leatherman has made good use of the large handle space to put in some decent sized tools. The knife, saw, and file blades are all a nice, useful length. Having said that, the knife and saw blades are actually slightly shorter than you will find on a 111mm SAK:
(https://i.imgur.com/kziEH7P.jpg)
While the toolset is fairly basic, it's a good solid selection. I personally would prefer to see a pair of scissors added in place of the serrated blade. The tools that are included are nicely designed and functional.....
The exception being the file blade. My file is mediocre. Might be useful for cleaning up a jagged finger nail or some soft metals, but it isn't a real file. The teeth aren't cut crisply and they skate over hard metal. (The file on my SwissTool demonstrates that a multitool can have a good file. My USA-made SOG Paratool has a lovely, albeit small, file.)
I am concerned that most of the ST 300 is made from MIM'ed parts. MIM has it's place and can be fine for some applications, but at the moment I trust forged steel and machined steel parts more. I suspect that Leatherman came out with replaceable wire snippers because they realized that they couldn't get by with snips made with the MIM'ed pliers head. So, to cover a step back in quality, they came out with a new feature: replaceable wire snips made with high-end 154CM metal. While this looks like a step forward, I think it's an invention born of necessity.
This brings me to my impression of the overall quality of the ST 300. I think this is a nice quality tool. I'd rank it between the mediocre offerings from SOG these day and the consistently high-quality Victorinox tools. My ST 300 has been ruggedly reliable and I've had no real issues with it. However, I have not subjected it to genuine 'hard use'. I did use it for a nice day of working on fences, and it did brilliantly. I used the knife quite a bit and it seemed to hold an edge relatively well, but I did frequently strop it to keep it sharp. The drivers were all useful at some point, but not really torqued very hard. My biggest gripe would be the low-quality file. Overall, comparing the ST 300 to an original Super Tool, I think that Leatherman has decided to lower their quality standards, but still makes a good tool. I see this with SOG, too. Vic seems to be staying consistent.
The leather sheath that came with my ST 300 is quite good.
So, the ST 300 seems like a high-value, basic multitool, especially when backed by Leatherman's 25 Year Warranty.
(Which I guess Barry will be taking advantage of..... :facepalm:)
For me, the ST 300 will likely become a multitool that goes on motorcycle trips, car-camping trips, and maybe gets stashed in the truck for the occasional unexpected use. I like it as a big, burly multitool, but it won't play a primary role in my daily life. Well....maybe it'll get some belt time on those days when I'm doing some yard work and might need some good wire snips and a decent saw blade. :tu:
Post by: Fuzzbucket on June 30, 2019, 07:28:58 PM
My OG Supertool has been through so much, the poor thing. :facepalm: It's been used to remove sealant and wooden plugs from brickwork and even been used to hack away render when no other tool was at hand. Every implement has been used roughly without care and the tool itself has been submerged in compost, soil, leafmold and last night was even left out in the rain during a thunderstorm. It has survived three whole weeks up at the Fuzz farm... although, in fairness, it was never tossed into a field...
It is a monumental tool - a true icon of the golden age of multitools - I feel rather privileged to have used it.

The is the very first 30 days challenge I had ever done, and I am really thankful to this opportunity. Without it, I probably would never carry full size piler-based MT for such long duration, seeing how the tool get used in some many different ways did inspire me to carry on. :cheers:
Some of the negatives/neutral:
Like Nix, I think one of the biggest challenge for me is the weight of my ST300. I used to pocket carry a 4 layers SAK(around 100g) for many years, and prior to that, many years/months of carrying LM wave OG, LM PST, Vic Spirit and111mm OHT. Being at 286g, my ST300 almost triple of what I used to carry nowadays, and it is quite noticeable when you need to hurry to places in daily life. :facepalm:
Unlike the outside tools with easy access(like the Spirit or Wave/Charge), every implements I need I do need to deliberately open and close the tool to use it. It is a little bit inconvenient and too heavy to EDC for my taste, but I do appreciate the full size tools I get to use. Though I never did subject those tools to real hard use(my urban life is rather mundane), I only hope these full sized tools can stand up to some real abuse(I have a feeling it's only 50/50, Fuzz used his tool hard, but Barry broke a new ST just within days of use). In some way, it kinda reminded me why I got Rebar way before getting this tool, because of the much lighter weight while function wise, they are rather similar.
Since my ST300 is practically brand new before this month of challenge, one side of the tools are harder to use(the phillip side) since the tabs are little more aggressive and dig right into my nails, than the awl side of tools.
Being tools-inside-handle, I felt a minor drawback is the effective length/leverage of any 'long' tool could be reduced. Depending what/where I want to cut/saw/file, there are cases where I have to be aware whether the handle may bump into something or the handle kinda gets in the way. This is more prominent whenever I need to cut something smaller on a flat surface.
Some of the positives:
What I like about the tool most is the '80% philosophy' behind the tool, coming from a Vic/SAK/Spirit user background, I never really grow accustomed to the whole bit system that Wave/Charge uses. And I am a firm believer that my MT/SAK is only supposed to solve 80% of my problems well, but for real trade/job, I should always have the real tool for the real job. In the respect, I think the tool set included are sufficient and fits well into the philosophy that I believed. :tu:
I always thought 91mm SAK has the best can opener in the industry, but much to my surprise, the can opener in my ST did just as well. The large handle does give better leverage.
The full sized handle did induce confidence, I always appreciate a full handle for any tools I have. There aren't much hotspot from the entire handle(maybe just very minor bit from the locking tab, but marginally), and this is particularly good when I need to use this tool for sawing. :like:
Final thoughts:
All in all, it's a pretty solid tool with a good selection of implements to use. A little too heavy or inconvenient to use as EDC for my taste, but I think it is a comfortable compromise between first line EDC tool and real full size tools. Personally, I think I would have preferred it's smaller brother Rebar, or even go heavier, like Surge or Swisstool, which they offer OH convenience or all tools buttery smooth outside access.

I have tried to use all the tools whilst doing this challenge
The tools I liked using the most have been the
Pliers, PE blade and the crosshead screwdriver
But for me it won’t be a EDC MT
As I would need a bigger range of tools
Like a bit driver and scissors so the Wave and Surge are more
useful for me for EDC as I can do more with them for what I need
I do like the quality of the ST300 and the PE blade
is the sharpest knife I have ever had so far on any MT
But overall I do like the ST300 and will keep using it
Just not as much as the Wave and Surge :tu:
Post by: Pauldmmwc on June 30, 2019, 09:29:49 PM
Been a good month with some good gear.
Back to the Wave now and this still my favourite.
I suppose a Wave was my EDC for 15 or 16 years and dont need to even look when for a tool anymore , the fingers know where to go already.
Thanks for a great challenge guys and will look forward to the next one.

My first SS ST was found on a 1/2 price rack at Lowe’s a few yrs back and it served me all this time as an excellent carry tool that could fill in when my dedicated tools were in the work truck to far away.
Now retired it sees action for big jobs at home and large tasks at the Y.
I also, just love fiddling with the ST300 as it is my SMOOTHEST opening and closing tool I have.
Here is picture of my two ST300s passing duties to a Traditional for July’s Challenge (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190630/c76ad5fe36a88e17861a337652b42723.jpg)

Steve, thanks for an excellent challenge and everyone for a ton of fun! I can't say anything bad about the OG Super Tool... it's a fantastic little powerhouse of a multitool! If there was a way to take the 300's cutters and serrated blade and combine them with the OG's tools and metallurgy I think Leatherman would have the ultimate m/t. I like the way the 300 feels in the hand, but it's metallurgy tool wise would keep me from carrying it exclusively. Either way, this was a great time and I'm glad to finally get a Leatherman badge!! :D :ahhh
I'll drink to that! :drink:

Firstly thanks Steve for an excellent challenge, I've really enjoyed it :tu:
It's the first time I've actually used the Original and the 200!
I think they both have a nice selection of tools and I love how slim and compact the Original is, what lets it down for me is the unlocking mechanism, I find it very awkward to use!
It's quite hard on the hands too when using the pliers.
I love the look of the 200 with the quirky locks (definitely need to get a Pulse sometime soon)
The unlocking of tools can be difficult at times, especially with greasy hands which I often have, in my work!
The 300 I find rather rattly and I'm not the biggest fan of the plier heads with replaceable cutters, I find they all tend to tighten up when used hard!
My biggest complaint though is tool clumping which I think is a backwards step in the evolution of the Supertool.
That means my absolute favourite of the Super type tools is the Core with no clumping whatsoever and nicely designed staggered nail nicks for extracting each individual tool very easily.
I also love this older type of plier head, love the fine serrations.
The Core is also quite sleek overall with the lock releases blending in to the design and not stuck out like on the 300.
I don't have any problem with the weight of any of the Supertools, my work trousers have the flappy holster things near the pockets and they sit in them quite nicely and I don't notice they're there!
No use for any of them today so just a picture of them all to finish off the challenge with..........
Sorry for all the rambling.....
See you all in the anniversary challenge....... :tu:

In the kitchen today. I didn't use the ST300 for anything. Cut up some chives I'd grown to go on baked potatoes--with my Henckels Motion kitchen knife (Henckels are about the only kitchen knives not made in the Orient I find cheaply at clearance/outlet type stores; and thus it's what I've populated my block with). I will clean the ST300 tomorrow (the spring stopped up again, and we were out of water nearly the whole weekend; until it was fixed today), but still carry it. I'm hoping this month, I can afford a used Rebar.

This is my first 30 day challenge I did and I enjoyed it very much. All pictures and uses of the Leathermans where so nice and I learned a lot about the use of the tools. I certainly will join more of these 30 challenges but not right now, I will wait a couple of months before I'll do it again. Thanks to everybody for this wonderful experience, the expertise and all the nice people here :cheers:
Same here, hope to see you more in the future challenges! :tu: Some of us are already heading towards the Traditional 30 and/or the Anything-go MTO challenge :D

This has been a great challenge and the most enjoyable for me in a while. Thanks everyone who has made it so :cheers: :salute: :tu:
Thanks Steve for the admin work, and thanks to all for participating in this most enjoyable challenge :tu:
Thoughts: I still like my ST for heavy duty on-call presence in a lot of situations, even more than those possible with a stock complement of implements. It is a bit heavy for pocket carry though and as I need a few extra bits anyway to make especially my modded one carry-worthy, a good sheath is indispensable.

The contractor's engraving gives my Super Tool the obvious name of "Davy" and brought the price down to a reasonable $25 US. Davy rides in the pocket more easily and feels great in hand. The pliers are a little loose, but everything seems near mint. This may now be my favorite Leatherman. :tu:

I may change my mind later, but right now I kinda like the looser pivot. The pliers fall open easily. It's not like they are spring loaded, but they just fall open.
Is there a reason to make them tighter? :think:

No, only if they are overly loose with play between the cutters.

Nice! Wish I could lay my greedy hands on a universal tool adapter - hard to find these days...
Yours should be on it's way later today. Seen you've been looking for one since 2011?? :ahhh
Post by: Dutch_Tooler on January 16, 2020, 12:47:55 PM
On and off, yeah. I have had the one for the legacy LM tools for ages now, but the universal variant is, how shall I put it, more ehhh.... universal :think: :D as in: it'll fit on more MTs.
They are almost impossible to find in Europe, and when you do find one in an auction (assuming it's actually the Universal one, not a mislabeled 'normal'/legacy-tools-only one) , they're grabbed up at exorbitant prices.
Ebay has stopped permitting European customers to bid on US based multitool related auctions a while ago.

Would probably carry a Leatherman Crunch with bits if I had a need, as the area where the adjuster screw is has a recess for full 1/4 inch bits.
