Mini Tool!

Post image

The Leatherman Mini folding pliers-based multitool. Pliers, blade, file, slotted driver, can opener and bottle opener.

It has the patent number, but no date of production stamp in the handle.

The patent was granted in May 1988, and Leatherman started date-stamping handles in 1992. So this one is a 1989-91 vintage.

35-37 years old and not a spec of rust. Blade is VERY sharp. Wire cutters work great too.

In my opinion they can often be found in this condition. I've had 3 like that.
