| The Leatherman
Super Tool is an expanded version of the original
Leatherman PST
(Personal Survival Tool) that comes in a larger size, with two
additional tools. This model was introduced in 1994,
and retired in 2004.

The Super Tool was replaced by the Super
Tool 200, which in turn was replaced by the Core.
However the original Super Tool is still available in used
condition,
and it's still a great tool, and a very popular collectible.
The price of the Super Tool has been increasing in recent years,
but it's still reasonable enough that you can actually buy one
to
use.
The Leatherman Super Tool
is built entirely from stainless steel-- it contains a large set
of pliers (combination needle-nose, regular pliers and wire cutters),
plus ten supplementary tools (5 folded into each arm of the pliers).
Some people prefer the original
Super Tool to the newer Super
Tool 200 and Core,
since it's significantly lighter, and simpler in
its design. |
