I really like the both of them. The PST was my first ever multitool and definitely has a better build quality. It would be perfect if it had scissors but not the end of the world. I keep it at my desk, use it around the house if I don’t want to grab a dedicated tool, and will sometimes carry it in my pocket instead of my usual go-to, a Victorinox Cadet.
The Gerber stays in my truck. I like how the pliers can be accessed with a flick of the wrist and it has plenty of tools for anything you might encounter.
They both work for me but if I had to choose one, it would be the Leatherman.

The Gerber. Single handed opening has served me well more than a few times.

Gerber. The Leatherman handles make the pliers very painful to use with strong pressure, like cutting hard wire.

I had a Diesel MultiPlier and I have a 1995 Tool.
The Tool is what I like. I actually gave my Diesel away cause I thought it was pretty bad. Like the blade and saw being backwards.. the plastic locks, the janky/shaky pliers.. how the point sticks out even closed. And, I paid like over $100 for it.
The Tool on the other hand is simple and durable. Every tool on it was well thought out and done well. It doesn’t lock but I don’t really need it to. Sometimes I wish the pliers had some type of pushback spring like some of the others but that’s small.
