The Minitool was Leatherman’s second multitool, and was produced for 18 years between 1996 and 2004, making it the longest surviving tool in the Leatherman range, after the PST (1983-2004). The Mini featured handle “extensions” which allowed the tool to fold down to 2.5″ when closed, whilst offering full size pliers comparable to the PST’s 4″ handles.
The handle extensions however, left little space for tools, and the Mini has only a small clip point blade, bottle opener, can opener and small file/driver. It was 10 years before Leatherman added their next “keychain” tool, the Micra.
The Minitool was available in Stainless Steel finish in addition to BO (Black Oxide).
