Rebar is my daily carry. I have a Wave plus for work because I need the bit drivers and a glass breaker. I love the fact that it's modeled after the original PST.

Just got a rebar for my birthday. I was disappointed at first but totally grateful now. Love the minimalistic touch two blades a saw and pliers with wire cutters. Perfect

[LarsRibe]

Rebar is the one for me. I bought another one 2 days after I thought I lost the first one. I managed to break the small flathead at one point - Leatherman replaced it no questions.
I got the bit driver to attach to the (full 3D!) Phillips - highly recommended 👍
Used the Rebar here on the farm and at work every day for 6 years.

I own the Rebar and the Wave. The rebar weighs 2 ounces less, has a better toolset, and is more comfortable in the hand as pliers or with any of the tools out. It's also really easy to reach in and pull the tools out to use. With the wave, while the one handed opening of the knife is very nice, the shape of the tool is more awkward in the hand, and it's really hard to pull out the tools on the inside when you want access. I can see it being harder in cold weather or with gloves on nearly impossible. I do like both tools but I just like the Rebar, it's so slim and classic looking, mine looks new after years of use.

Excellent multitool, I use it literally every day. Since I got it, it has replaced all knives and EDC tools. No more full pockets, Streamlight Microstream + Rebar and I'm covered!

[vladimirvladimirovic]

The Rebar is much better than the Wave Plus. I have both of them, and I hardly ever use the Wave, whereas I keep my Rebar busy all the time.

The rebar is by far my favorite of the leatherman lineup. Being able to replace the wire cutters is awesome.

And it has a lanyard ring that folds out. It's next to the file. I use the lanyard to pull mine out of a kydex Clip&carry belt sheath. The can opener opens bottles too & has a wire stripper. I have the same color as yours, Coyote brown, matching color sheath. It is stiff closing, will get better over time. That serrated blade cuts rope really well.

[SpacecityEDC]

I agree the Rebar is a little tank of a multitool and one of my favorite Leathermans'. Also wanted to agree with you about working through the stiffness with a good cleaning and oiling. When I first got my Rebar I thought it might be defective because it was so stiff but I cleaned it, oiled it and while I was watching a TV show sat there just opening and closing the pliers and tools, oiling and opening, oiling and opening and soon it started to become better and then shortly it was fine and remains fine to this day so you're definitely right about that. I have a pretty good collection of multitools now and the one I carry most is my Charge TTI with Bit's and extender but still love the Rebar, can't go wrong with it. Good video, take care.

[dule]

By far my most used multitool. There are greater chances for me to go to work without pants than without Leatherman Rebar. I pair it with cheap shoddy utility blade or scalpel that i'm not afraid to loose.

[georgeg]

I agree the rebar is a good choice for a bug out bag, mine has a rebar too.

Show you love wildlife, hug a porcupine today !

[francoiscoetzer]

I carry either the Rebar or the Surge, depending on my day. The Rebar is a very complete tool, it is like the teenage brother of its older brother the Surge.

[daginn]

I have several LM's, or that is to say I have a Rebar and a Wave (not the +), and then I have broken one Wave and a PS4. Never used them much, so quite disapointed about their quality. That being said, the wave is never used. I have the rebar in a survival pouch that I can throw in a bag if needed. I much prefer it over the wave for the lower weight, but mostly because of it's awl. But they are still both too heavy to carry around for everyday use or bushcraft in my opinion. SAKS on the other hand, I have always one on me.

[krkrbbr]

Thats not a metal saw 😂 don't ruin your tool

[mistersmith]

I prefer a dedicated driver than a bit holder on a multi-tool. That's something I don't like about my Leatherman Surge.

[NB-mbmq]

02:20 pretty sure that's not a metal saw, but a serrated knife. If you work in the trades, you know there is no way that blade is cutting through metal.

[martinharkin]

I use the supertool 300M I’m suprised hardly anyone uses it. It’s abit bulky but has a great tool set, bit driver, knife and a prybar which no other Leatherman has.

[StevanOutdoor]

It's a serrated blade for cutting ropes and (seat)belts, clothing and even food. That's also why it's a sheepfoot style blade. It's not a metal saw! I fully agree with that bits part where you can drop and loose the bit most of all when working with gloves on.
I have many Leatherman tools and I agree the Rebar is the tool in the jungle for me. For urban use and travel to urban places I prefer the Bond. It's only missing the serrated blade and woodsaw and is non locking. Non locking is probably not going against any knife laws when traveling.

[babyrabies]

The only models i love from leatherman are the rebar and supertool eod. If only leatherman reverse the tool to be opened from the outside, that would be perfection for me.
