Me too.. I'd rather carry around a P4 or something.. I like the compactness and the full size pliers.. But, I like a lot of implements and functions!!

Where's hawkchucker at? He really dug the Mini.

Well, I don't have one, so I can't help too much... But I can tell you I want one. :D It's got to be one of the most unique and fun MTs out there, if not the most functional. :P

 IMO if you're planning to use it as a stand alone tool,you'll be disappointed;but if you'll be using it with another tool or a SAK you're going to be very satisfied.

I doubt I will be using it a whole lot especially @ work ;) But it will be carried just for the pure fact that it is so small :cheers: All I have SAKwise is a Super Tinker so that will have to do for now ::) I am gonna add more to my list :D SAK's that is :climber: :tool: :sak: :D

My NIB Mini best $40 I spent. As a user I think it has many failings , I found the bottle opener last night to be some what tricky to use . But like some of my other retired LM's I really enjoy handling it & looking at it. It shows us the path/progression LM has taken to reach its current tools , just like spoony, so eloquently put in his photo essay of the Mini. For such a small tool it expands so well & it feels so tiny but unbreakable , in way that a Micra/squirt never could. It would be really interesting to see LM revisit the Mini , it would be a much better tool if they built it now , but LM has  little reason too because of the success of the Micra & Squirt.

Look what they did with the Wave a vast improvement and the Pulse (although retired was a replacement for PSTII) wasn't it :think: Plus the ST which is now the Core. I would love to see a new version of the  :ahhh !!!MINI!!!  :ahhh  :D

I've actually seen one in Black , though I got the stainless variety.

I must say I'm a big fan of the tool.  It might not be the most useful multi but, as other have said, it is an interesting concept and an example of innovation (even if it wasn't that successful).  It feels very solid when opened up and the pliers work well.  Its more of a collectors piece really, but I imagine would pair up very nicely with a larger SAK and provide some useful portable pliers.

Anyone modded one?  I've no need for the blade and would prefer either a little pry tool thingy or perhaps a diamond file.

Neil
Title: Re: !!!MINI!!! Who has one?
Post by: Poncho65 on October 26, 2008, 03:47:43 AM
I don't recall anyone modding one  :think: well noone talked about it anyway

Problem with this little gem is that all the tools need to be really stubby to go in  ::)

One might cut a diamond file down and put it in or may a prybar tool but I can't be for sure sorry  :(

If anyone tries please do tell :D

I just noticed that the plier heads on my Mini Tools are a bit different. In the pics, the middle one (no date codes), are more squared than the tools either side (dated 0799 and 0400).

Also, "Leatherman" and "USA" are rotated 180 degrees on the older tool. It's a bit reminiscent of the PST plier head changes maybe?

Need to check the 2 I have :)
Title: Re: !!!MINI!!! Who has one?
Post by: Poncho65 on October 27, 2008, 03:24:12 AM
Well I checked my 2 and the first one is SS and has Leatherman and USA on the plier head like the 2 newer ones you have and it's datecodes are 0800 the 2nd 1 is BO and has Leatherman and Tool on it the Leatherman is same place as the other but Tool replaces USA :( :D the datecodes on it are 0104 so there are 3 variations right there

Also my knife blade on the BO just has Leatherman stamped on it whereas the older one SS has Leatherman USA

What's on your knife blades?
Title: Re: !!!MINI!!! Who has one?
Post by: DaveK on October 27, 2008, 11:10:51 PM
All three have "Leatherman USA" on the blade tangs.

The lack of "USA" on the blades is pretty consistent with any of the tools that say "TOOL" on the plier heads from what I've seen, all across the LM range.

After losing my Mini it took far too long to find another so I've taken the precaution of buying a backup, just in case.

It looks a bit grubby but I'm pretty sure it'll scrub up fine.

Nope, first there is the workshop* cleanup project to complete :(  Dull but necessary.

* Workshop is a glorified title for the lean-to at the back of the house. On the bumf that came with the house its actually listed as a conservatory  ::)  Still I thank my lucky stars that I don't have a wife who wants to put a sofa and potted plants in it  :D

I have a corner of our garage, where I've managed to accumulate a pillar drill, belt sander and saw table (pictured before).

It's several inches thick in sawdust at the moment, I really do need to get in there and clean it up.

I got a NIB Mini today. Which makes 3 for me.  I now have 3 different types of Mini boxes. Thought I would post a pic.    I would like anybody who has a different version to do the same.  Just curious as to how many different ones there are.

Title: Re: !!!MINI!!! Who has one?
Post by: DaveK on April 17, 2009, 01:19:44 AM
I have boxes like the bottom two, but not the new one Dennis.

The only Mini I have pre-date codes, came in a bit of a state and unboxed.

Of course, what I really want to see is a Mini with Japan stamped on the blade tang. They must be out there somewhere  :drool:

The third one is the only one with the LM and USA reversed.  Its the oldest one of the four. Also the only one with no hard wire notch. Also early enough for no date code..

The split ring comes attatched to a small card thats in the box when new.  You just attatch it to the Mini if you want to 8)

My BO  :ahhh :ahhh :ahhh !!!MINI!!! :ahhh :ahhh :ahhh didn't come with any ring :( and the SS one was uised so nothing there either :D

I thought that the one that had LM and USA reversed might have been the oldest :salute: thanks for confirming :D
Title: Re: !!!MINI!!! Who has one?
Post by: DaveK on April 18, 2009, 11:08:35 AM
I have one with the split ring - I left it taped to the card as I figured we probably won't see that much anymore.

Dennis - I have a pre date code mini, and it looks identical to yours, I.e. the makings on the pliers are backwards. You'll notice other differences in the pliers too - but yer need to look close!

I just have 2 that I bought used for $5.00 each at a pawn shop.  Date codes 0800 and 0102.The 0800 has the mame JAY inscribed.  One has a sheath but no ring.Both are perfect. I have no use for them other than historical value. The handles are more comfortable than a PST but there aren't enough tools on them. I have to have a Philips and a real file.

Many many months ago I lost my Mini :( As my most carried LM this was extra bad :( :(

It took me nearly three months to find a replacement so when I had a chance to grab another as a backup I did.

The wanderer has now returned, my long lost mini had somehow made it into the spare first aid bits bag in the car, why I have no idea but now I have three :)

Yeah, they are pretty odd looking.  They make for an excellent EDC companion to a SAK.  I showed my EDC one to my Dad and now he wants one as well :D
Been carrying mine the last few days.. Why..? Because I can...  :D :D

If it is only for use with a Mini (& PST, PST II, Sideclip & other narrow handled MTs) then the STA fits best, but if you may want to use the adapter with other MTs with wider handles then the UTA will be more versatile.

Thank you Barry.
The Mini Tool really is a nice compact tool and it is comfortable when using the pliers because the smooth sides of the fold out section on the handles are next to your hand.

Dang smurfing smurfers Poncho! :rant:
All this MINI chatter and pics from you geared me up to buy one! Won it on Ebay last night for $40. Supposedly it is unused, but we shall see.

I was trying to cool it for a while on MTs over $20. Now I have a $40 MINI on the way. I don't even care for MTs with so few tools, but the plier system...that unique folding plier system. :drool: :drool: :drool:

So all in all. Thank you Poncho. That will complete my simple style LM family. JPST, PST, PST2, FLAIR, and MINI Tool on the way. :cheers:

It is neat for what it is. This is my second, the first one I had was minty with the original sheath. I ended up flipping that one because I didn't want to carry it since it was so nice.

This one will get carried and I have a Schrade Toughchip sheath on the way.

If anyone needs a sheath for their Mini tool this guy has these for $3 shipped

I hope so too. I’ve put it on my keychain but it feels a little bit bulky there. I like the idea of having decent sized pliers without carrying something on my belt though. I’ll probably get over the bulky feeling, it feels like its there to stay :cheers:

Went into Cork city today for regular shopping.
Turned out not to be that regular after all.
Got myself a brand spanking new Leatherman Mini Tool  :ahhh

He actually had 2 so there is one left for you guys if you'll be in Cork city and time soon  :pok:

That brownish residue you can see on the fully opened tool inside the handle was some old oil.
Cleaned up nicely.

Man, I love that thing  :tu:

I was always sceptical about the Mini until yesterday when I handled it in that little shop.
It folds smaller than I thought, and all is solid when deployed.
After a careful little sharpening I even like the blade  :tu:

Does the old tool adapter fit?  :think:

... gotta try that out  :D

Although my new flawless unused complete in box and all Mini Tool may be some collectors dream, I'm just enjoying it too much to not use it  :angel:

Aaaaand while I changed my mindset from collector to user it didn't take me long until I decided to modify the flat screw driver to a #2 Philips  :D

It now fits perfectly into all #2 Phillips I have around here with no play or wobble and has a very good bite.
It also works well enough for those smaller ones on power sockets (see pic) and is still wide enough at the tip for med to small flat head.
It's too big for normal #1 Phillips though, but that's ok.

Steve did replace the blade with a new designed 2d Phillips. Really great mod Steve  :tu:
But I do like the small blade very much (just needed a tiny little careful sharpening) so I went this way instead.

Btw, although it's a user now I will keep the box and papers etc.

Glad you are going to use it :tu: Just be careful not to over torque the file/Phillips  :ahhh to much pressure might cause the file to break (I know it was designed as a flat driver but I still try not to over use the driver) :cheers:

Ah I see. I thought it was a bespoke mini one.
Speaking of, I have one on order from a company who makes really high quality sheaths. It's going to be in a similar shape to that one but bespoke for the mini, I gave him the exact dimensions. Should have it in a month at which point he will no doubt advertise them by name.

New to the mini myself, absolutely love it. Obviously it has it limitations but they're all outweighed by the fact that it's small enough that you can pocket it anywhere anytime. Try that with a surge!
I will shape the end of the file to take Philips like the 2D one on the micra, I'm guessing that's been done before here.

Yes, Steve has done the 2D mod on the file but just be careful and not apply a lot of force to the driver or it may snap :ahhh :salute:

Just sharpening the blade on the mini and I notice the edge is very coarse and toothy no matter what I do, weird. It has never been sharpened before since factory and formed a burr like any of my Leathermans using 420hc but despite removing the burr and using finer grits the edge is visibly toothy. A Steel issue above my paygrade?

Forgot to post my MINI!! on Monday.  I wanted to return this combo breaker bar / 1/4 driver from O'Reilly's so I could get the standard 1/4 ratchet with driver in the end of the handle. Needed to cut the zip tie and the only thing in my pockets was my Mini, which did a perfect job of course.
