Leatherman PST II Tool

The Leatherman PST II (Personal Survival Tool II) is an improved version of the original Leatherman PST multi-tool. It adds a pair of folding scissors instead of the awl, and also has a diamond-coated file blade that can give a smooth finish to almost any material.

The Leatherman PST II is built from 100% stainless steel-- it contains a large set of pliers (combination needle-nose pliers, regular pliers and wire cutters), plus eight supplementary tools (4 folded into each arm of the pliers).

The tools and markings on the PST II have somewhat since the tool's introduction; we list all the variations we know of below.

You can also order new PST II tools in retired packaging.
