Have they announced when the Slag comes out?

Whats that?

Noun: Stony waste matter separated from metals during the smelting or refining of ore.

Common in welding rebar, most certainly a joke :-)

I love you for getting my lame joke:)

I thought it was clever. Although for a name it would scare me, as I would shorten the definition above to unrefined waste....lol

I thought Slag was Grimlock's second in command....

I can do you one better than that- in about a week we'll be offering all the detailed photos and info we can get, straight from the folks at Leatherman!

AWESOME!!!

Grab one of them for me and run like a bat out of hell Def..

Dang, I look forward getting some info on it..

Grant Lamontagne · **Reply #218 on:** January 10, 2012, 08:04:53 PM

Yup- we are looking forward to it as well. SHOT is always the high point of our year, kind of like the knife, gun and tool Superbowl!

If there's any way to wrest one from Leatherman, we'll have it!

Oh man, I am really ready for this one. Any concrete release info or is it still just a ballpark april/may release date?

turnsouth · **Reply #220 on:** January 10, 2012, 08:36:13 PM

I'm looking forward to the ad campaign when Wingman joins up with his crew and they become the

REBAR TEAM!

Grant Lamontagne · **Reply #221 on:** January 10, 2012, 08:37:23 PM

I would imagine that if they have any updated info they will wait until SHOT to announce it. Juli may let something go on the Facebook page, but no formal announcements as far as I know.

DON'T give them any ideas TS...

Really looking forward to this one.

5hif7y · **Reply #224 on:** January 10, 2012, 10:19:46 PM

i am looking forward to this one. i like the idea of the supertool style pliers on a wave sized tool, but i hope the internal tools done clump like the supertool 300. that has its moments where it just slows you down.

That's going to be a judgement call I think. Some folks like it, others don't. $:-\$

I'm just hoping that the pliers are more comfortable to use than the ST300, too fat and the legs don't sit near enough to each other when deployed IMO. Here's what I mean:

Original Supertool and Blast in pic. Original Supertool's legs are nice and near each other and so sit well in the palm of the hand, Blast's (and ST300's) sit much further apart and so I find less comfy to use. $:-\$

5hif7y · **Reply #226 on:** January 10, 2012, 10:40:58 PM

i see what you mean. some may like it and others dont. it has the marmite effect.

i see what you mean but the picture but i like the blast pliers so anything like that would be great for me. im going to hold off on the rebar till i see what others think.

chris777 · **Reply #227 on:** January 11, 2012, 07:51:47 AM

the width of the plier handles has unfortunately been growing across the board with leatherman. ALL of theit full size tools, now feel like they were made for someone much larger. I am hoping the rebar will be better than the ST300 which feels enormous. I have been seriouslly pondering grinding some metal out of mine just to cut back on it as I am having more and more problems with my hands the older I get. I really wish leatherman would research the ergonomics of this issue further.

Grant Lamontagne · **Reply #228 on:** January 11, 2012, 01:58:27 PM

My father also has issues with his hands as he gets older. It seems that after a lifetime of hard work you are rewarded with even simple tasks getting harder. I got him a SOG PowerAssist last year and he loves the Compound Leverage because it allows him to grip and cut things he wouldn`t be able to otherwise.

Dear Tim Leatherman:

I would be happy to test-carry the Rebar for you before it is released. Let me know.

thanks -

I'm also quite excited by this tool. With the demise of the Knifeless Fuse, I would like to see a couple of versions of this tool.

1. The original.
2. A version with scissors.
3. A knifeless version.

I like this idea as well. In fact I'm sure we've had this kind of discussion before, but regarding the Fuse and it having more options.

I dont know if anyone has noticed this or not but i just bought a charge tti and it came with a user guide. The guide already shows the rebar. Can't wait to get one.

That is exciting!!!!!! I can hardly wait!! The pics are awesome, this tool looks like it will have the quality of the oldies. I hope it is a solid replacement for the blast, I've been waiting for one for 3 years.

turnsouth · **Reply #238 on:** January 12, 2012, 03:28:42 PM

I looks like they may have moved up the release to coincide with the SHOT show.

Mercury · **Reply #239 on:** January 12, 2012, 04:01:48 PM

I certainly hope so.
