No spanners.

We called it the "missing link" on Saturday. It must have been one of the last tools with those pliers to leave Oregon!

Cracking piece for a collection, and it's nice that Tony has cherished it all these years, as opposed it sticking it in a 240v socket :D
I used to come here a lot.

I think Mike is fondling Ben's toolbox  :o :P :D :D.


I reckon Leatherman had no qualms about mixing & matching new with old parts when assembling PST's :think:. :think: :think:

As you can see, it's unused as Tony received it as a gift from his parents in the late 80s. Consequently, it has no date codes (pre-1992)......

(Image removed from quote.)

It has the "saber blade" and tools that are consistent with a late 80s PST, but has both cm and inches on the ruler - this would suggest a very late 80s model with the metric scale on there.

(Image removed from quote.)

BUT - this PST has the original plier heads, without any TOOL or USA markings, as used on the early PSTs. I haven't seen this plier head on a tool that doesn't also have the drop point blade, old style awl etc. Has anyone else?

The fact that it is still with its original box too made me want to throw it in the back of the Landrover and clear off with it - but Tony's a big bloke :D

Discuss!
:think: Other than condition it looks pretty close to this one which you already own. Just not in your possession yet 8).

It was that seemingly odd combination that drew me to it Dennis - but I am hoping so!

Cool - so that's (possibly) three I know about now :D

An update :)

The PST that Dennis sent me is indeed exactly like the one Tony had, and after a little TLC (well total strip down and rebuild) looks to be in almost as good condition too - thanks Dennis :tu:

Dave's PST List is now updated, with the new arrival listed as #24

My potted history of the PST hasn't progressed much due to work commitments and the nice weather :D

They dont pop up everyday. They are out there but you must be persistent in your hunt to bag one.

That sure is a beauty one Allan! 8)


<sigh> I remember looking at these on eBay about 7-8 years ago, when they were far more commonly available. The photos on eBay were really small and crappy back then, nowhere near the resolution they are these days. So I never knew the crimper holes had a cast ridge around the center like they do, it just looked like a drilled hole through the plier jaws. :P Anyhow, I can remember thinking why the h*ll would anyone want a "crimper" version with a big ol' hole drilled in the jaws? ::)

By the time I realized the crimper version was something special, they were scarce as rocking horse poo! :bnghd: :D

 
In order to be certain of having the right tool for every job.........one must first acquire a lot of tools
