You might want to look here for all versions of the PST. There were actually 3 versions made in Japan. Leatherman PST chronology project
My two new Leathermans- engraved with my initials from my GF and the skeletool CX is engraved with my username (birthday present to myself)
I may have missed it, but I noticed a number of tools painted another color. VERY, very cool! are the tools taken apart then painted? and with a particular type of paint? found at local Lowe's/Home Depot?

It is a coating process called Certakote, often used to finish firearms. Check out these threads: http://edcforums.com/threads/pics-of-some-lights-i-have-done.88265/ http://edcforums.com/threads/cerakote.102273/
OK, is it me or does the styling and shape of this thing scream Transformers, mid 1980s? It instantly made me think Destructicon. Lol... And, I hadn't noticed before, but the design cast into the handles is of what tool is in that space, pretty neat. Anyone got a pic of one of these next to a Wave, or Surge? It looks awfully big and boxy but its hard to tell how bad it is on its own... G.
The OHT is significantly more blocky when both are closed, but the difference becomes smaller when the pliers are deployed (since a lot of the plier is hidden in the OHT). I absolutely love the spring action pliers and the sliding deployment of the OHT, can't stop playing with it!
