I am loving all the Rebar pictures.  The Rebar is my favorite multitool, I just used it in the yard this weekend installing a rubber landscaping border.  The awl, pliers, serrated blade, and saw all came in handy.  I wish I could have joined the the challenge but maybe next time.   :multi:

You know you can do a challenge at any time.  Doesn't have to be during a group challenge.  Start whenever you want and just go for 30 days. :cheers:

Thanks, guys  :hatsoff:

Poncho, does your pocket clip move from side to side easily?  If not, what did you do to keep it in place?

It does move some but the tab has been flattened out on mine and maybe I put a kink in it to give it some tension :think: been a long time since I put it on and I have likely forgotten :ahhh :D

Day 23

Fished a stuck battery out of my beloved olight. Tried changing it to no avail. Not sure what's up with it, and debating an upgrade over fixing it.

Probably should've got more of the Rebar in frame...

Day 23
The Rebar and a traveler full of coffee.  I spent much of today driving.  Trying now to decide if everyone else that I encountered on south Florida's Ronald Regan Turnpike is just an idiot, or if they were maliciously trying to kill me. :think:  Also trying to decide, now that I'm home, if I should add a little Irish to what's left of the coffee and call it a day.  One decision is easier than the other.

One of the things that makes the Rebar a jewel...

Day 24

I was doing a fit test this afternoon for one of our guys on the Hazmat team and he could not get the mask to seal no matter what we did. Discovered that the nipple on the end of the adapter was loose so it wouldn't pull a vacuum. A quick tightening with the Rebar got us back in business immediately.

Day 24

My third and final companion carry for the month, a Case Russlock. I think these are both underrated and kind of niche. On the one hand, it's a great knife, and it's hard to get OHO in a trad folder. On the other hand, how many people want a small, OHO trad folder? It takes a little practice, but the little razor lever is actually a great action, I think I like how it feels better than most flippers. Compared to the other knives I carried this month, I actually used this one several times. OHO vs "double" open on the Rebar is a big difference.

I used the plain edge blade to trim a cigar.

Day 25

So got stuck today at work.

One of the dozers was going to pull me out with my tow cable. Turns out someone had attached the cable with a bungee cord that was way too tight to remove.

Supertool to the rescue.

Day 24

Although I love my Leathermans and carry them everywhere, I also try to preserve them when possible. For cutting open boxes and anything that can damage them, I try to use some type of utility knife. Recently I picked up a Gerber Armbar and although I was severely disappointed in it's build quality vs price, it's a nice tool to have for general stuff like I mentioned above. But today I used the Leatherman to break down boxes today since it's the Rebar Challenge!

Day 26

The kitchen ceiling fan was wobbly. It was somehow missing a screw. I took the loose blade off so I could take the other screw to the HW store to match, then tightened up the others. 711 ratchet called into service detached to get into some tight spaces for the ones that were still mounted.
