PST, PST II Owners Club

[JonesE]

Carrying my Marlboro Country Store PST from 1994 and a OPINEL no. 8 today.

Awesome pics, LC and Jones

LC, I totally forgot about the handles of the PST being used as a variation (even owning one myself ) good correction

[Crunchie64]

As pictured in an earlier post from early February iirc,  my PSTII is an earlier production unit. 02/98.

With the groves diamond file, scissors and Combo blade.

BUT, the handles are only stamped  LEATHERMAN TOOL, no PST II stamp on either side. 

I was told that the early II models were build with remaining  PST handles.

I believe that would be the major variation of the II🙄

Just wanted to share

Ah, I’d forgotten some had PST, not PST II on the handles, thank you.

I guess mine is a classic mid-production example? It’s stamped PST II and has the grooves file.

I didn’t realise the handles were exactly the same apart from markings.  They really are lovely tools to handle, a much neater body shape than the Bond.

They also redesigned or modified the scissors after the first few years. The original scissor handles have a flaw where they slip by each other. It's an easy fix as I show in this thread.

I just noticed something. I specifically remember buying the OG PST in 1993. I remember my then GF grabbing the sheath on my belt when we were walking. Kinda like a handle on a guy, she used to joke. Only now did I check the date on the handles, and it said 0695 and 0795, respectively. So they did me a dirty when I sent my PST for repairs ca 1996. Well, they did replace the plier head, a driver, and the blade, so they just picked up another set of handles and pliers.

My life is a lie

Sounds like LM just replaced the unit via SWAP.

A MAINTENANCE, friend broke his PST pliers and handle, LM reached out and asked what he was doing and what he used it for. The sent him a WAVE.  A few years he broke that.  LM reached out again, they replaced it with a Surge. The last time working with him, the PE blade was broken and scissor were loose. He said he was going to send in right after he retired.  I retired before him so do not know…
