Good job! I agree about the straight driver being fatter near the base annoying. It could be ground down to make the sides parallel for better access to deeper screws. Someday I'd still like to fit Vic scissors in one too.
Great review!! You get to the point and you don't get hung up and muck about. You almost made me want to get one.live from Nate's mobile

Given that I wouldn't have been able to do the review without your help Steve I am glad you like it.

You're very welcome Gareth You got me thinking about the replaceable cutters that while they're into stealing from Gerber, hence their OHT, they could borrow the triangular cutters and not have that gripping problem like the Rebar does. I love the Rebar but they really should have made some smaller cutters for it rather than being lazy and making "all purpose" ones to fit both the 4 inch and larger tool sizes.
Good review. I kinda want to pick up a Rebar but I wish LM went to outside opening tools like on the Swisstool. It is so much more convenient.

I know I've banged on about this for a while, and it's something I disagree with Al on, but IME the cutters don't infringe on the ability to hold a bolt head. By the time they are an issue my hands aren't big enough to hold the handles. Obviously round things become and issue more quickly.I like having the big cutters, but then I cut a lot of things. What's more of an issue to me is the big ledge on the back of them that makes getting through big things quite tough.Incidentally, has anyone heard from Al recently?

You should still get a Rebar.
