I bought this one at a store separately, it didn't come with the Rebar.

Poncho mentioned it, and I went looking for it. Seems like a great 'tool mulitplier'.

The bit adapter is an awesome addition to a MT with a square Phillips :like: Glad you got one  :tu: I have a couple of them and one stays in my molle sheath all the time :tu: :like:

Yes! Leatherman. Can use the Leatherman 2D bits as well as standard Hex bits. I'm really glad Poncho mentioned this option.  :tu:

It’s not my Rebar, but this is the setup I keep in a drawer in the kitchen. Those adapters are great!

Well, it's Rebar's meaner big brother...

Which pouch are you using for the bit set/adaptor zrxoa1? Mine didn't come with a pouch...

I can’t recall what Leatherman it came with, but my ST200 fits in another one I have...

OK, thanks, I like it, need to see if I can source one...

Edit - found something similar but with a nylon belt loop... Oh well, it will do for now :tu:

I also have one just like it with a Nylon belt loop...

Sorry I can’t recall what it came with!



That all fits in. It’s tight, but it works...

Well, Nix, you inspired me. Haha


I took my Rebar apart, removed the serrated blade and added a wire stripper from SOG.

Took some time and experimenting with tool order, but I got it!

Possibly..... If happens again, I'll give the pliers a shot.  :cheers:

Day 18 (continued):

I had a chance to go fishing today. It was cold and really windy, but a chance to go fishing is a chance to go fishing....so I went.



I had one really nice strike, with a big brown rolling up to take a bite, but he was off before I could set the hook. Other than that, it was a quiet day. But, nothing ventured, nothing gained, right?

The Rebar was my primary fishing tool. Actually, aside from a rod & reel, my only fishing tool. The pliers were useful for crimping split-shot and pulling tag ends of cut line off eyelets. I was delighted to find that the wire cutters were able to neatly cut some 6# monofilament. I wasn't sure they would handle that fine task, but they did so with precision. Win: Rebar.



I would have liked to include a shot of the pliers being used to remove a hook from a trophy trout....but....not every fishing trip ends with a glamor shot. Maybe tomorrow......

Still sounds like a good day fishing :dd:

Been far to long since I have been :facepalm: When work slows a bit (hopefully sometime next year) I am going fishing for sure :D
