Leatherman tools have been a staple in my life for nearly 30 years<\/strong>. Their impact has been so widespread that when someone talks about multitools, no matter what brand they\u2019re made by, they are referred to as “Leatherman.” The classic Leatherman Rebar is a toolbox for your pocket that allows you to take on any task at hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My first paycheck at my first job, working in a local camping store at 16, was spent on a Leatherman PST II.\u00a0I used it every day \u2014 even the knife \u2014 for work and play. Back then, I didn\u2019t carry a separate pocket knife. In the nearly 30 years since, I have gone<\/span> through a couple of Waves, a handful of Juices, a Crunch that I welded a pocket clip on, the Signal and Wingman, and the Free P2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The one Leatherman tool I never got to use was the Rebar. That all changed a few weeks ago when the company launched its new series of colorful Rebars. Leatherman was kind enough to send one my way, and I am glad they did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In short<\/strong>: I really enjoyed the overall ruggedness of the Leatherman Rebar. Out of the box, it felt stout and well-built. The assortment of the 17 tools is well-rounded and addresses the needs of almost anyone who needs a multitool, be it personally or professionally. However, I would have swapped out one of the two knife blades for a pair of scissors. That said, I appreciate how Leatherman decided to go with a dedicated plain-edge knife blade and a secondary serrated knife blade.
