I see in Xelkos's post http://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,30927.0.html (http://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,30927.0.html) that the Rebar features "Removable handle inserts". I have never seen anybody mentioning them after they bought the tool, neither can I see anything on any photograph posted.
What is "Removable handle inserts" and can you post a picture?

Hammer, what on your thoughts on the REBAR?I really like the Rebar. The pliers are a wee bit larger than the pliers on the Wave yet not as large as the pliers on the Surge. The Rebar has a fantastic fit and feel. The pliers meet touching at the tip with a steadily increasing gap towards the back. All of the tools deploy from the inside, which some people do not like. For me, it's not a problem.
When I got mine, every joint was extremely tight, so I took some Rem Oil and spent about an hour working all of the joints, and now they are all what I consider ideal. Also, there are not unneccessary tools on the Rebar (IMHO). One thing the Rebar has that really make it a winner is the fact that it has replaceable wire cutters.
The more I look at it, and the more I play with it, the quicker it is becoming one of my favorites (Next to the Charge Tti which will always be my favorite).

I'm joining this club asap, but my local MEC doesn't have them in yet.
I was going to check next weekend too! Good thing I don't have to yet :)
I have a couple of BO Rebars coming from Tattoosteve, should be here pretty soon!.

My plan is to put one BO head on a BO wave.

Initial thoughts... Since I was in high school I've carried a PST and then a Supertool. The only downside of the Supertool is I wanted all of those tools in the PST format. Which this is- yes! I didn't quite let out a girlish SQUEE at the register- I made it to the truck and did so with sound dampening around me.
So, initial impressions- it's bit stiff. I'll be grabbing a zip tie, my castor oil bottle and spending some time working it while watching TV tonight. I got it with the nylon sheath, which is ok, but I'm waiting for Mr Au to unpack and catch up on orders. :)
It is going to be really, really weird tommorrow. This will be the first day in about 18 years I won't have my ST with me other than flying or being in the court house. I'm going to have to find things to fix.

I like the easy-open cut out for the knife blade; is there one on the other side? If so, what tool does it give access to? :think:
Just the two blades. I think that is my one grumble, because it does make the saw and file harder to get to. But wow, what an agressive file- its going to mellow out after some metal work, but it's practially a rasp at this point for wood.

Oh!! Forgot about the serrated blade. Makes sense.
But wow, what an agressive file- its going to mellow out after some metal work, but it's practially a rasp at this point for wood.
I'm spoiled by the Wave/Charge diamond file, so I'm glad to hear the Rebar file is sharp and aggressive. I assume one side is single-cut, the other is double-cut?
Thanks!

Love o' My Life: "Whatcha doin', hon?"
Moi: "Askin' some questions on the forum about that Leatherman I ordered."
LoML: "Oh! That reminds me, you got a package today. Did I forget to tell you earlier?"
Me: :ahhh :mail:
OK, so, enough stupid questions, I actually have the dang thing here in my hands. :tu:
I ordered the "military kit," black oxide with the Molle-compatible sheath.
This is my first BO LM, and man-o-man is it stiff. Been dousing the joints with lube and working the heck out of it, and it's beginning to smooth up. Got a lot of the BO coating on my hands at first. It came bone dry; wiping it down with some oil have both smoothed the surface, and stopped it getting all over my hands.
So far, I feel it's definitely a keeper. Same implements as my FrankenCharge Ti, except an awl instead of scissors. (FrankenCharge: replaced the two bit holders with the long square-shank Phillips drive and long medium flat drivers from a busted Fuse.) I'm so impressed with it, in fact, that I'm replacing the FrankenCharge with the Rebar in my EDC bag. I already carry the Leatherman Kick/Fuse/Blast bit adapter and bit kit, which also fits the Phillips drive of the Rebar, and it's an ounce and a half lighter than the FrankenCharge.
The only downside is I lose the OHO blades. But I've always got an EDC folding knife ob=n me, so the MT blades are just backups, and the Rebar fills that bill nicely. The FrankenCharge will go back to being my EDC MT when I don't feel like carrying a separate knife.
Post by: Gryffin on May 24, 2012, 06:29:39 AM
The Molle attachment can easily be adapted to civvie-style belt carry, in which config it rides real low. But the flap uses a velcro closure, which isn't my cup 'o tea.
I guess I'm just a cranky ol' cuss, but until I pop for a Skinth, my EDC multi du jour is gonna end up in my old Leatherman Original Wave Leather Sheath. No noisy velcro, just a simple, quiet snap, and it holds each of the MTs in my EDC rotation. If it ain't broke...

Yeah, it's thicker than the PST, but not all that much. Noticeably thinner than a Wave or Charge. Build-wise, it reminds me of the Pulse, including the rolled handle edges for comfort, but with the more modern lock.
For comparison, it's about 2/3 oz. heavier than the Pulse, and 1½ oz. lighter than the Wave,

Also should be receiving a Case Ridgeback Caper, the first fixed blade since the MT Bug bit me March/April. Also waiting on a Spydie Yojimbo 2 and a Benchmade 950 CF Rift.
Back to the Rebar. Will the driver kit that slips over the Phillips work with the Rebar Wingman, Juice and ST300? If not all which one's will it work with? I am referring to this kit:

Its one nice tool,and my first BO one. I was quite surprised that its dimensions is almost identical to my old PST2 except for the widt. Perfect MT size!
if only it had a snug little leather sheath like my PST2. The Molle sheath that came with it was a bit big for such a small tool. The Rebar fits nicely in it, but its exterior is a bit to big.
Is the Rebar leather sheath any better?

I've been carrying my Rebar in lieu of my Spirit X (mainly because I traded it to Steve) and my only complaint is I miss my Spirit's bottle opener/pry bar; I wouldn't trust using the Rebar's screwdrivers as a light pry bar - the tools are too small to trust in that fashion.

I'm now officially in the club; I'd originally picked up a Rebar to do my own Wave mod, but it turns out I like the Rebar way too much, and the Wave very little. :think:

I mainly want this tool for the replaceable wirecutters.(ST300, too big for me) I wouldnt baby it as much or be afraid of damage. Just wondering what everyone experience is with them.
Do they work as well as the wire cutters on a wave? Better? easy to change? How much are replacements?

I've just joined the site and have just finished commenting on the Spirit owners club and Charge owners club forums, so I figured I may as well join this one as well to round out my three favorite multitools and be a member of each owners' club :D
I do enjoy the Rebar quite a bit with it's sleekness and light weight, while still managing to pack in quite a wallop of tools. One thing it has that my other faves do not is the ruler on the outside, which has come in handy more than one may think for quick measurements of smaller items. The only think it's missing is scissors, but I've found that the wire cutters can do most scissor jobs that I find, with the exception of cutting paper or trimming any stray whiskers or nosehairs :) I also pair it with my Victorinox Compact SAK, so scissors aren't an issue anyway.
The only other thing it was missing was a mini eyeglass screwdriver, however I remedied that by filing down the small flathead. I hadn't been finding any real use for it, so I figured I may as well see if I could file it down to that size, and I was able to do so. Yes, the Compact SAK does have this as well, but now if I happen to only be equipped with my Rebar, I will have an eyeglass screwdriver available (I don't wear glasses, but my wife does, and I do wear sunglasses, so it could come in handy).

Visited a local sporting goods shop (that used to have a serious mark-up on items) and found this Rebar staring up at me - and at $48. Grabbed it. The gal let me look it over and I swapped it for the one on display cause the rivets looked they were stamped better.

Found a CRKT Eat N' Tool so grabbed one of them just cause it was there. Just under $5.
Was actually looking for a walking stick, which I did find at another store. Strange how I find things I want when going shopping for others. :shrug:
Post by: gustophersmob on December 29, 2012, 05:36:59 AM
First impressions are so so, but keep in mind this is coming from someone who is a die-hard Vic fan.
I typically have not gotten along well with Leatherman tools primarily because all of the tools are nail-breakers to open. I have experienced this on Waves, Blasts, Kicks, Fuses, Charges, etc. I was kind of expecting this on the Rebar, but was somewhat surprised. The clumping is still there, but out of the box, I can get all tools open with minimal effort.
I really appreciate some of the subtle design choices that make it apparent that LM is applying what they've learned the last several decades making multis. For instance, I like the rounded edges when using the pliers, the replaceable cutters, the oversize nail nicks for the blades, the little bump on the back of the 2 blades tang that helps them close. I like the slim size compared with the blast as well as the slightly shorter size when compared with the spirit.
When I compare it to my multi standard, the Spirit, it does better than any LM I've yet tried. It still, however, doesn't feel as though it is playing in the same league. The clumping, the sharp edges near the pliers where the edges aren't rolled, the very thin blade stock, the lack of scissors. I was also disappointed that the file used on the Wave wasn't used on the Rebar. ONe thing I think the spirit could use is a better file. Unfortunately, the rebar's file is IMO equal to, or a little inferior to the spirit.
I personally think, for my multi uses, this LM is the closest they've yet come. I'm just debating on keeping it, wondering if it'll see any use over the spirit.
None of this is meant to bash, just an admittedly biased comparison.

I love my Rebar, but I agree with these two points. I pair it with a SAK that has scissors, so that's covered. I do wish it had the diamond coated file like the Charge and Wave does, and I feel the same about the Spirit as well (I also own one of these and love it too).
Post by: Outback in Idaho on December 29, 2012, 10:48:14 AM
The non-diamond dusted file just about made me not purchase the Rebar. Not sure why Leatherman wanted to bypass a diamond-dust coated file, as the Rebar could have cornered the market with that one implement.
The pliers handle rivets looked a bit cheesier. The one I looked at ended getting swapped for the demo cause of one rivet looking half-stamped. Don't want to be sending a new tool back in for repair due to poor riveting.
Am happier with the redesigned awl with threadloop. The hole is a tad thinner, yet is elongated, so should be better for sewing & field stitching. With many carrying items with survival parachute cord it looks like field threading shouldn't be a problem. ~ I bought a walking stick and put paracord on the handle and mid-section for possible survival needs.
Now if Leatherman would only get such an awl over to a Charge series in the next decade... :twak:

The non-diamond dusted file just about made me not purchase the Rebar. Not sure why Leatherman wanted to bypass a diamond-dust coated file, as the Rebar could have cornered the market with that one implement.
Now if Leatherman would only get such an awl over to a Charge series in the next decade... :twak:
Yeah I don't understand why the company would choose not to use the diamond dusted file as it's very useful.
I actually filed down the large fixed flathead on my Charge TTi to a makeshift awl. It's not the best, but it's better than having the flathead when I have one on the bit driver already.

It is very much a smaller ST300, but it's not redundant if you don't own a ST300. It's got that slim, classic look to it and is pocketable. If you do have the ST300 (like you do) then it's a more portable version ;) It is definitely one of my faves though, and it's been my most carried Leatherman the past few months :tu:

Don't tell anybody, but some days I feel merely mortal and choose to carry a Juice CS4 or even .... you're not recording this are you? .... just a SAK in my pocket. But when I'm feeling the need for something heavier duty, the Rebar really is my current favorite.
Post by: Monrogue on February 11, 2013, 09:00:16 PM
Yup. The ST300 is great. I'll still don it on the days when I'm feeling the itch to get my hardcore multi-tool totin' on. But the Rebar does all of the same stuff and is a more practical daily carry AND still makes me feel like I'm a multi-tool ninja, what with the beefy construction and black oxide. Lawdy! I get the vapours just thinking how cool it is.

I'm a pocket carrier myself, and actually carry full sized multitools in my back pocket next to my wallet. I don't have any of the heavy duty (4.5") Leathermans though. Yeah, the black oxide definitely adds ninja points :tu:
:rofl: I'm not recording, but I can't speak for all of us here :D If it wasn't for my worry that I may need pliers and locking tools, most days a SAK would be sufficient for my needs. The Juice S2 is an almost perfect balance since it has pliers. I just like having a two or three of my "toys" on me to play with >:D

"Rebar Black Molle Black Leather PegManufacture ID: 831553"
I'm in the minority that prefers the PST type design of internal tools only (carries sleeker and cleaner when closed) and lack of scissors (I keep a Style CS on my keychain). So the Rebar is just perfect for me.
Post by: Monrogue on February 11, 2013, 09:40:23 PM
By the way, I believe "peg" means it's a blister pack version (that hangs on a retail fixture peg). That particular Amazon listing seems to include some retail procurement system boilerplate lingo.

Well include me in the club then buddy :cheers: I love the PST (I recently bought a NIB PST II and love it :tu:) and the internal design for the same reasons, the sleeker, smoother appearance and pocketable package. I like the idea of the tools safely tucked inside and protected by the handles.
Don't get me wrong, I also have a couple Charges, but find myself carrying them less since I fell in love with my Rebar. I also like the design of the Swisstool Spirit and it's another of my faves, but it almost feels and looks too nice to really use too heavily.
I do need scissors though, but that's one of my excuses to carry a SAK to compliment the multitool :D

Am thinking I must be losing it. Finding myself wanting to shelf the Charge TTi in favor of the Rebar, but I like them comfortable titanium scales, S30V steel blade, and the diamond grit file. Everything else is on the Rebar. Know what I should do... >:D :D :angel:
I know what you mean. I was heavily in favor of the Charge setup until I gave the Rebar a shot a few months ago. I do like OHO knife blades, as well as the overall look of the knives and the Charge itself. I also like the diamond file, and reeeaaallllly wish that the Rebar (and Spirit as well) would use that type of file. Diamond side is so useful and nice to have. However, I don't use it enough to make me put the Rebar away :D
It's a tough call, but the lighter weight, sleekness, balance of weight and functions and overall pocketability of the whole package make the Rebar a winner for me :tu: I still love my Charges (AL and TTi) and carry one of them whenever we go out on the weekend or something like that, but during the workweek (I work at a bank), I prefer the Rebar (or Spirit). They are also less threatening in appearance than the Charge to some people.

Post by: Monrogue on February 15, 2013, 06:24:42 PM
Received my BO Rebar yesterday! It is my only LM MT that has all the tools "inside"....and I kind of like it. I still like the easier access to blades on my other MTs, but the Rebar style is fine by me as well. It is about the same size as my BO Wave, and was half the price with same sheath.

Cool, I'm glad you like it so far :cheers: I feel the same way, I like the convenience of OHO blades on my Charge, but I don't usually need that feature. I like the slim, sleek package of the Rebar.
As for the pliers, I can't speak on the strength from hands-on experience as I haven't put either the Rebar or Charge pliers to any serious, heavy use. It is my understanding that they're basically supposed to be the same strength, with the only real advantage of the Rebar's being the replaceable cutters. Enjoy your new toy :tu: :D

Is the Rebar an updated Core? From when I had my Core the Rebar looks a lot like it. It would be perfect if the knife was outside-opening. Yet, a beautiful piece of tooling.
Well, indirectly, maybe... I think the SuperTool 300 was an updated Core, this is the 'little brother' of the ST300. ;)

At first impression, it kinda reminds me of the PST, given its size and tool selection. I'm not so convinced how the chisel ground serrated blade will fair but the plain edge blade seems to be setup pretty well.
I did find that the tools on the side of the Philips were a little difficult to maneuver where it takes some effort to extend the tools. I wonder if some oil will help this difficulty.
Overall, I'm quite pleased and feel I got my money's worth, but only time will tell how it holds up to every day use :salute:

I was at Target tonight and taken completely by surprise by a single remaining REBAR on the shelf just calling my name. It looked better and more compact in person than I'd imagined from the online photos I've seen. So I bought it, and have been fiddling with it ever since.
At first impression, it kinda reminds me of the PST, given its size and tool selection. I'm not so convinced how the chisel ground serrated blade will fair but the plain edge blade seems to be setup pretty well.

I know, when I first had it in my hand, it was more compact like you said. It really is smaller than I expected, but that makes it lighter and sleeker and perfect for pocket carry imo. It is similar to the PST in that sense, but also robust like the ST300. It is one of my top 3 full size MTs (the other 2 being the Charge and Spirit). Enjoy :tu: :cheers:

The only thing that could make it any better would be a nice pair of scissors. I would replace the chisel ground sheeps foot blade with scissors. I don't really see much use for that blade.
Anyone else on the same page?
That would be good. I'm not a SE user so that blade isn't any good to me. What scissors would fit that pivot though? :think:

I used to be on that same page when I first got the Rebar as scissors are a must for me. Then I entered the wonderful world of SAKs and began carrying one along with my MTs to give me a wider range of options and fill in those gaps, like the lack of scissors on the Rebar. So now scissors on a full size MT don't seem to be a must when I have a SAK to cover that need for me :D :tu:

THe only problem I have with that is there are times when I can't carry a SAK & a MT. It's either one or the other, so scissors on the MT are a need rather than a want.
Very good point :salute: The only time I see myself only being able to carry one or the other is during the summer when I'm not working and wearing light shorts. In that case, I would probably end up carrying a SAK due to the light weight. At work and during the rest of the seasons, I am able to carry a MT and at least one SAK (or two :D)

I have a Micra, and think it is awesome (for what it is, no surge replacement ::) ) I wanted a Rebar, but they run $50-60 online, so when I saw one that was $39.99, I was all over it, and then to top it off it comes with a Micra. :ahhh
Now I can put a Micra in my altoids tin survival kit!

Yeah the Micra is a good little tool. I paid $50 for my Rebar, but I got it when they first came out about a year ago. Now I see them on Amazon in the mid $30's range at times. Spending $40 and getting an originally $50 tool plus a bonus $20 tool is a sweet deal. Hope you enjoy the Rebar:))

Why, Jothra? Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?
It took five years of truly monstrous abuse to do that. That Wave has done things no pocket tool should ever have to do. But then, that's the point, isn't it? The Wave shouldn't have to do it, but succeeded anyway. Points for Leatherman!
So while I plan to warranty it anyway, because the worst that could possibly happen is they say no, I decided this was a good chance to try another tool. I wanted something no bigger than the Wave (no Surge. It's a brick with pliers in!) I already have a Skeletool, but I wanted a tool with full pliers that I can butterfly open, and the Skeletool has become a dedicated Bike Bag tool anyway. I also have a Kick (my first Leatherman), but I wanted something with no plastic parts and with snappier, lockable tools.
I considered some flavour of Charge, and was just about ready to grab a Charge AL. But then I saw a Rebar.
It stared into my eyes. I stared into its eyes. I took it home.

Rebar with Kick and Skeletool.
I've loosened the pivots a tiny bit, and now it's perfect. I don't miss those dinky Wave scissors (and have some on my SAK anyway), and with an adapter for the Phillips driver, I can use any screwdriver bit I want. We'll see how the pliers do with actually tying rebar this summer, but I think I've found my new EDC bag tool.

That is some impressive damage you did to your Wave there, Jothra :o What made it break like that?The final straw was bending a piece of metal into an adapter to move a brake on an odd-wheeled Frankenbike. I was clamping pretty hard, and the sound of the tool snapping was spectacular. I've used this tool for five years of commercial construction, including who knows how many steel mats for sidewalks and concrete aprons. Basically, anytime there weren't any easily-accessible pliers around for a job, the Leatherman came out. When you're with a hands-on general contractor, that's really, really often.

I hope the warranty repair goes well.

Oh no Jothra! I think the rebar pliers will work well for your job. And there is always the possibility of a rewave? Of course then warranty would be voided.Thank you!
And by the way I find the little jokes you throw into your posts very amusing :D
Anyway, I think you're right—the Rebar looks very promising. I probably won't bother modding, since all the features I loved in the Wave have made it into a more compact package with beefier pliers (except for the bit driver, though there's an adapter for that).
Post by: enki_ck on July 01, 2013, 02:59:56 PM
Poor little Wave. :cry: Glad it served you well. :salute:

Ok, now that I have received my rebar, I love it. What I did find surprising was just how much awesomeness they squeezed into essentially the same footprint a my kick, which had a super small tool assortment. The rebar is only 1.5 oz heavier than the kick. I will try to get some side by side shots to point this out in picture form later

I know, that's one of the best things about it, that they managed to make it so robust while still being a slim, sleek, lightweight package :tu:

Maybe you should loosen them? I'm not sure what exactly would happen if you loosen them as I've never dabbled in that with mine. Mine opens/closes smoothly and the cutters don't touch in an interfering way. They also cut paper. I love the Rebar pliers, and the Rebar in general :tu:
Thanks I will loosen them just a touch. The one thing I did notice about the Rebar is that the slight buldge out the handles make in the closed position. The ST300 does not do this

Cool, let us know how that works out for you. Oh do you mean that section that sticks out at the bottom of the sloped area? I thought that was odd myself, but it may have something to do with the rolled edges to the handles so that they don't hurt when using the pliers. :think: It may be due to the fact that they were trying to make it slim and that area and along the edges had to stick out to allow room for the rolled edges? Not sure, but I imagine the ST300 must have the rolled edges too, unless that's not the case.

First,
loosened the cutters about 1/100th of a turn each, and they do not touch, but will cut paper. :D
Second
I bought a ST300 at the same time as my Rebar, and it it flat, (no bump) but it does have the rolled edges. The Rebar laying closed on a table can rock side to side, like a messed up table, the ST300, has no movement at all.
Not a big deal, I just thought my Rebar was damaged, until I saw other pix of the Rebar, and noticed the hump on them.
I am much happier with the Rebar than I expected to be. the file may not be diamond (One reason I love my Surge!) but it is super aggressive!
I also noticed that the Rebar pliers open a little wider than the ST300 :rofl:

Yeah, that bump did bug me, and sometimes does when I wish it would lay flat on a surface, but it really makes no difference in the end. I do also wish it had a diamond file (the biggest strike against it for me), but its overall awesomeness makes up for that :tu:

All Leatherman's are made in the USA (Portland, Oregon) Though I believe some parts, or the steel or something, could come from somewhere else, if I'm right.

They are assembled in the US and most parts are made in the US, I think pliers (Mexico) and files (Austria/Switzerland/ not sure exactly ) are made outside of the US. Cause of this ruling by a California court: http://www.leatherman.com/about/release?id=20
if even a screw is made outside of the US, it can't say made in the US. ::)

A year ago I bought myself a Rebar, but it broke down on me after 2 days or so, they gave me a new one in the store but this one also had some problems, so I bought myself a Wave and vowed never to buy a Rebar again (more info here (http://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,38943.0.html)).

First: nice pic :salute:
Second: On the sheath, I carry my Rebar in one of the nylon sheaths (came with a Charge, I believe) and it fits quite nice in there, if all the other pockets are filled up. It's a bit loose if they aren't. I filled my sheath with a PocketWrench II in the 'back pocket', either a Vic Alox Vagabond or a LM Micra in one of the sides, and a Fenix E01 in the other side. Together, that makes for a nice, tight package.

I have two of those Nylon Wave sheaths lying around here, I use one of them every day for my Spirit and my Tank007 led light when I go to work. I tried my Rebar and my MAG-lite Solitaire Led in one of them and they do fit, be it a bit loose (the Rebar), but thanks to the velcro you can make it fit a bit tighter, so I guess my problem is solved, but ... I would really like a leather sheath for my Rebar (I know, I know ... ::)).
I think I'm just going to get me one of those Leather Wave sheaths and see how it holds my Rebar, if it turns out it's to loose (because of the snap closure you can't tighten it like you can with the velcro) then I will have an extra sheath for my Wave or Charge TTi ;).

Love the pics TG. And you're right, the classic LM style makes for some great pics. That sheath looks nice too. So is this Rebar working better than the last couple you tried?
The last one I had (over a year ago) lasted 3 days, so I'm not out of the woods yet ... :dwts:
But I'm hoping for the best, first time I got my hands on a Rebar it was love at first sight, and I have the same feeling now, I just hope this is not a case of "love makes blind" ...

I have re-added my REBAR to the EDC rotation. I've had several situations where I needed either a good pair of wire snips or a full set of pliers. It's just too useful not to carry it. So now, I will pull my pants up every few minutes :facepalm:
Ha, glad to see you came to your senses man ;)

Perhaps you had a couple duds as I've heard that happens with their new tools when the first batch is available. By now hopefully they've taken care of any QC issues. I've had my Rebar for a year now and it has been fine.

Are there any other original LM sheaths, preferably with one or two side pockets, which fit the Rebar? I don´t like the Molle sheath it came with. Right now I carry it in a Wave leather sheath (the one with the two side pockets) but the "lock buttons" always get caught in the rubberbands of the side pockets and will damage them earlier or later. Any ideas? ???
Besides the (semi-)obvious (get a Skinth! :D ): I use the standard Nylon sheath for my Rebar (the one that came with the Wave) and, with both sidepockets and the backpocket filled (PocketWrenchII, FenixE01, Vic Alox Vagabond) it fits quite good. It does catch the lock buttons sometimes, but not often...

Would it be possible to post or send me a pic of your nylon sheath, taken from above into the open sheath? Is there thick nylon (like the rest oft the sheath) between the main pocket and the two smaller, outer pockets or are they these nylon/rubber type bands, too?
Thank you! :tu:

Ah yes, sorry Enki, PSAs ;) I actually have the fun of picking out another item to purchase tonight, but I'm not sure of the price limit yet. I already have a Rebar though, and really don't see much point in getting something I already have. That leaves me limited if I want to get a BO tool though. I don't know of any that I would want that I wouldn't already have the regular version of.

My BO tools all get that treatment and I have no rust or blackened fingers. From there it seems that oil from the hands adds to this BO/oil coating that is just brilliant. I now prefer BO for this reason.

Hi this clip comes form a LM Kick BO.
I have also used the pivot of the Kick as it has the threaded hole where the clip bolts on.
Please keep in mind that in order to use Kick pivot , you need to grind the upper and lower side of the pivot
in order to flatten it and use it on the Rebar ;)

I don't own a Rebar, but I do own an ST300. I love it, but the weight does bother me. Do any of you own both? Is there a considerable difference after wearing them all day?
I own both. The ST300 certainly inspires confidence with its heavy duty build and simple design. I find it clunky in comparison to the Rebar, however.
The Rebar feels less solid than the ST300, but it also feels more precisely designed and made.
In my case, I am carrying the Rebar, as I've come to the conclusion that a heavy duty MT doesn't offer enough extra bang for the added weight. I recommend you get a Rebar for sure, and decide for yourself.

Hi,
I own both also.
The Rebar is compact and light enough that I can easily forget I'm wearing it. It is the de-facto choice if I don't have a reason for wearing on of my other tools (eg I generally wear my Wave + bit kit at work because I use a lot of screwdrivers).
The ST300 on the other hand I never forget I'm wearing. It isn't uncomfortable, but it's weight and bulk really let you know its there. Generally, I wear the ST300 if I'm spending a day out in the yard, helping my friend clear some land etc.
If you love the ST300 but would like something that you can wear and not know its there, the Rebar is the perfect choice.

Very nice pic by the way, but now you've made me curious ... what's that "book" underneath your Rebar ?
Post by: Smashie on December 16, 2013, 09:59:36 PM
This was given to my Uncle RM Percival Stanley Smith to prepare for the impending invasion of Japan. He had spent a large amount of time in Burma prior to that. I was lucky enough to be given quite a few of his personal items after he passed away.
My family has a long history of serving in the Royal Navy and the Royal Marines (myself included).
I thought it would make an interesting backdrop.
It also has the notes he took in the briefings penciled into the margins.

Very interesting. My grandfather fought in the Pacific, and would have been involved in the invasion had it come to it as well.

Some quick thoughts. Half an ounce lighter than the Sidekick/Wingman, and only an ounce heavier than a PST II. All locking tools. Super-agressive, but non-diamond file. Plain Edge blade! Wohoo! Nice fat flathead as a basic pry tool is something I always like. Good awl. Stout and long-shanked phillips. lanyard ring which can be tucked away as needed. Saw, can opener with wire stripper. Reasonably comfortable in-hand both open and closed.
If the goal is function and utility, not aesthetics and convenience (as in one-hand-open), then this might be the pinnacle of design. I prefer it greatly over the ST300 due to its smaller size/lighter weight. It is amazingly compact for its features.
Excellent tool! :tu:

Just got a (for the most part) Rebar today. It's had the replaceable wire cutter plier head swapped with one from a (I think) Blast. Same head that was on the whole Fuse/Blast/Kick line and same one on the Wave. Other than that, it's stock.

After a closer look it seems that all the tools on the plain edge blade side has play. is there anything i could fix myself
The only thing I can think of would be to tighten the screws at the end of the handle, but that may be easier said than done due to the screw design and the area around the screw :think:

The tool can handle it, so no safety violation there, just discomfort.
It is a design flaw, I shall know its limitation in future usage.
There is always room for improvement.
Post by: sawman on March 18, 2014, 11:10:38 PM
I must disagree, it takes 100 lbs of force to get the job done, so be it.On a more serious note, I would be concerned of the pliers actually breaking given too much force. If you're using your LM this heavily, I hope you're wearing safety glasses! :salute:

I'm not 100% certain if NASA is calculating crush grip strength specifically in this data (there are different measures of grip strength, but with a MT, only crush grip applies), but I can imagine that if they are, then NASA knows what they are talking about.
However, between that and a quick check of some physical therapy and grip strength building sites, I can determine this:
I have a very strong grip myself. I would not squeeze my Rebar on anything at 100 psi unless my life depended on it. So even if I am only 50th percentile, that's not far under my max. A Rebar is not designed for this.
Go get a set of pliers.

It's not PSI, just total grip strength.
Also, Tim Leatherman used to stand on a plier handle of his tools. I'm guessing he's something like 150lbs. So, they are made to take at LEAST that much and I'm guessing WAY more, probably in the 300lb range.

I'm a fairly large strong man, I can put a lot of force on a pair of pliers. I would not squeeze a medium duty MT like the Rebar with all of my available grip strength. I see no circumstance beyond life or death that would compell me to do so. If I was forced to do so under LOD extremes, I would operate under the assumption that the tool might break in the process.
Tim Leatherman has a warehouse full of them if one breaks under his slight body weight.
You do what you like with your tools, but I urge you to stop expecting pocket-sized folding stainless steel multis to perform like specialized tools. I can assure you from experience that they do not. That is no slight, I love mine, but I have realistic expectations of them.
Perhaps you have a weak grip strength though. In that case, squeeze as hard as you like.
Nonetheless, I would remind everyone that the OP has a non-bleeding boo boo. Not a broken Rebar.

You know, it's a little tempting actually >:D I've made the handles flex, which I imagine any of us can do, but I've never just squeezed it with the intent to crush...

LM will send you a replacement, I will send you one too.
Post by: captain spaulding on March 21, 2014, 01:24:20 AM
Why? If you broke it, I send you a brand new one.agree.
If someone can break his rebar by squeezing with two bare hands, I will buy him another one.
If I had a beater Rebar I would take that challenge. :think:
I just see it as why break a brand new one to wait and get another brand new one that might not have the same fit and finish that the one I have now does. Also if I cant break it I lose the bet and possibly weaken it to be broken later on.
Ill remember this and if i come across a less perfect Rebar than mine I might take you up on the bet. :tu:

squeeze rebar really really hard, the saw starts cutting into my skin.
I thought that might happen so I sanded down both sides of the saw.
Also did one side of the file which felt like it would give a nice tearing cut.
The file metal was quite soft, it smoothed off a lot easier than the saw did.
agree.

I didn't but it's kinda the same thing if you think about it. Self-inflicted by miss-use... ::)I think I broke my toe.. I swung that hammer with 100 lbs of force and smash! :rant:It was from only squeezing, I put maybe 100 lbs of force on it.
Wow. Well that sucks. :(
A tip: Don't put 100 lbs of force on it. :whistle:
Ouch... Why the heck did you have your foot next to whatever you were hammering?
I've put my full weight behind my Wave's Rebar plier on a number of occasions, but I might just be lucky.That's good to hear :tu: Mine have held up pretty well too. :D

You could grind the pliers down a bit and make it a blunt nose or just send it in to LM to get it fixed/replaced.
My personal choice would be a blunt nose. :D

Bought a Rebar for parts. After the surgery, I rebuilt her with Wave pliers and scissors.

Crunch's file can be used as large flathead driver, I wonder if Rebar's can do the same.
Large flathaed driver is the one tool they remove when LM downsize ST300 to Rebar.

I just took the newer style Rebar back out and took a closer look and it appears to have washers on both sides of the Pliers head, but on the other side it appears to only have one washer. It could be possible that it is missing one by accident or I just can not see it. :think:
Post by: Gareth on April 09, 2014, 11:23:52 AM
Of course that could just as easily be just a bit of manufacturing variation, anyone else want to check?
Post by: zoidberg on April 09, 2014, 11:38:17 AM
Just realised I have both an old and new style file as well. One other difference I can see is that the old style file sits at exactly the same hight as the rolled edge, on the new style it sits just a touch lower than the edge. This means you don't get the teeth of the file digging into your hand quite so readily.
Of course that could just as easily be just a bit of manufacturing variation, anyone else want to check?
From those pics it looks like the angle the file teeth are cut at is different as well.

This thing feels great, really dense and robust. A lot nicer than my other LMs (Kick and Skeletool).

Post by: Mr Biriyani on May 27, 2014, 08:09:41 PM
Just realised I have both an old and new style file as well. One other difference I can see is that the old style file sits at exactly the same hight as the rolled edge, on the new style it sits just a touch lower than the edge. This means you don't get the teeth of the file digging into your hand quite so readily.Does all this meen that as a semi collecter I have to get the new version as well. :o :D
Of course that could just as easily be just a bit of manufacturing variation, anyone else want to check?

Thought I could fit a Victorinox 91mm scissors which I had available.
Step 1, free up a long tool position. Decided the serrated knife would be most easily covered. In fact reduced in length and ground down at the tip very slightly it fits beside the (thin) woodsaw.
Step 2, decide which short tool to sacrifice. Decided I didn't really need a can opener and thought I could open bottles with another carry or the remaining tools. Actually I retained the bottle opener cut down similar to the very useful Dime package opener profile. So still need to sacrifice a short tool. Decided on the awl which I have never used as an awl only to get knots out and I think the small driver will suffice.
The scissors was drilled out from 2.5mm in 0.5mm stages to 4.8mm, what us limeys call 3/16th I think. The scissors handle needed slight profiling to clear the locking bar pivot pocket. Apart form that no other adjustments required. It's not even tight in the bay though I had selected that bay as being very slightly wider than the others.

PST (lost) > Wave > Rebar
When I brought home the Wave, it felt ginormous. I picked up a Skeletool for something lighter but it's more a pocket knive with a couple of extras rather than a multitool in my opinion. The Rebar hits the sweet spot in function and size, for me at least. :)

To me, it's perfect for the pocket. Probably because my Leatherman progression went:

It's all due to the locks. I think I'm going to grind the sharp corners off the Rebar's ones and see if that improves it. They do actually stick out quite a way.

Not lately. I mean I always have my alox classic on my keys, but besides that I have not carried a SAK in quite some time.

I've been carrying my BO Fuse a little bit but have swapped back to the Rebar to find I don't like the way it feels as much as the Fuse (despite them being the same size).It's all due to the locks. I think I'm going to grind the sharp corners off the Rebar's ones and see if that improves it. They do actually stick out quite a way.
I didn't deem it necessary to change or re-contour any part but I did use a hard Arkansas stone to "knock off the sharp edges". I'm not sure this picture will show this or not,but take a look.

Is it normal for BO rebar without any date stamp inside? My other LM has date stamps inside.The Rebars don't have date stamps for some reason. Not sure if that's the case for all of them, but both of mine don't have one.

Welcome to the forum Steve, now lets see them Rebar pics.
Is it normal for BO rebar without any date stamp inside? My other LM has date stamps inside.The Rebars don't have date stamps for some reason. Not sure if that's the case for all of them, but both of mine don't have one.

Been thinking about why we have no date stamps and came to this conclusion. Say Leatherman puts the date stamps in its tools to track the 5 years warranty thing. Well I think they figure the Rebar is so hoss they don't need a date because they wont be needing to fix them.
Makes sense to me.
Picture thread so here is Little Boy chillin in the sun.

I carry my rebar in my watch pocket of my jeans. If it weren't for the lock tabs it would probably fit in the smaller sheaths. I have tried and it fits pretty good in the smaller sheaths til you get to the lock tabs then it will not go.

You can stretch the smaller leather sheaths so the Rebar will fit.

Post by: raistlin65 on April 16, 2015, 09:13:05 PM
I have a Pocket Plier that I like, but SOG needs to update that with a locking mechanism before it would be comparable to the Rebar, IMO. I have a BO and stainless PowerLock, but they are too big for pocket carry for me.
Tried the Sidekick, and there's something different about the weight distribution of it and how it sits in my pocket (I don't think it's the slight difference in weight), which bugs me a little for pocket carry. And of course the tools are better on the Rebar. I can see why everyone loves it :)
Of course the bad thing is that I liked the Rebar so much, that I had to know what the ST 300 is like in comparison to the PowerLock. Ordered a like new one off Ebay this week. I'll come back and post a family picture.

I carry mine for work and play! I love the saw...its perfect for up in the tree work clearing for a blind to trimming work. I got mine as a warranty replacement for my Blast and love it! It's still tight (or maybe I'm just used to how loose my PST has become?) but it completely replaced the SAK Huntsman I've carried since 1983. It has everything the H-man had and then some.

It's official, I'm leaving this club :oops: :D
Just to set the record straight, the Rebar is my kinda Leatherman, that's why I bought it, but it turned out to too heavy for pocket carry, and pouch carry is not an option, I got a Skeletool and now I'm happy.
Problem is I paid for the Rebar, and it ended up consigned to a USK that (to be honest) lives in a drawer and sticks its finger in my eye every time I open the drawer.
Long story short, I was helping my cousin over the weekend, he borrowed the Skeletool at some stage, and I asked him where his Leatherman is......
Mortgage, 1 kid and another on the way means no budget for toys....so he's getting an early birthday gift. :D 8)
I don't view the Rebar as collectible, but a BO Rebar or a (old stock reasonably priced) Crunch might take its place :facepalm: :rofl:

Here are some pics of the Sheath that comes with the Rebar next to a PST sheath I stretched out to fit . The new sheath is a bit loose and not as good quality as the old ones. So an old one will work but you have to stretch it out to fit.

Replace the lanyard loop and can opener with scissors and it is perfect. (Pics coming soon)Enjoy the Rebar. I'm getting back into carrying mine more lately. It's much easier to carry than the larger multies. Love your avatar by the way :)

I wonder what percentage of people use the lanyard loop on their Rebars? I just did an image search on Google for "leatherman rebar lanyard" and could not find a single example of a lanyard attached. Does anyone use it? It's not like one is going to hang a Rebar around their neck with the loop. It hardly seem useful to me to extend the length since one can simply leave the handles extended (as I depicted here (http://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,59006.0.html)).

Nor have I. ??? Lanyard loops seem better for more outdoor tools. After a day or so thinking it over, I realized the loop is less valuable than the opener. and I must say I think I like the rebar MORE than the wave (especially once scissors get added) It has almost the same tool loadout in a very slim profile. Plus no mini bit driver :ahhh that thing drives me crazy.I like the rebar II and and reblaster, but I just don't like can openers on my multis only because I would never use it. replacing the can opener with scissors would work great for me.

I picked up a rebar last week and it's my new EDC and I'm quite happy with it. It's replacing a swiss tool spirit x that was lost or stolen from my workplace. I'm happy to be carrying a LM again, I feel like I've been missing out. A few years back a had a Wave that I gave away to a friend in need. It's good to be back!Welcome to MTO.

I've owned a Micra for about 15 years (love it), but this is my first real Leatherman. I've always been an SAK guy. I got it for $37 shipped off Ebay, new with sheath. (No box or packaging, but I trust the seller and the thing looks new. No scratches, dents, shearing on drivers, the knife edges looks untouched, etc.)
Some preliminary thoughts:
1. Boy is this thing stiff. I guess I was expecting the buttery smoothness of an SAK, which wasn't a fair expectation. Everything is super tight, but some oil has helped. I'm sure it will loosen up with time. The pivot almost feels, gritty, for lack of a better word. Is this from the finish on the tools and lack of spacers compared to an SAK? Are the pivot screws just too tight? I don't want to mess with them...
2. It is a real beauty. I love the clean PST-like aesthetic with all the tools on the inside. I don't care about one-handed open or outside access, I always have an SAK nearby. I like the clean look.
3. I am shocked out how light this thing feels, and how compact it is. Despite knowing the exact dimensions, I somehow expected something heavier and bigger. It is beautiful and feels great in the hands.
4. More flex in the plier handles than I expected from moderate force.
5. I've seen a lot of people bemoan the lack of scissors. I always have a Vic classic on me, so I don't mind that much, I prefer the awl.
6. Love the 3d phillips.
7. The Rebar's drivers actually have decently slim and long shanks on them, which many multi-tool drivers don't. I love this.
8. This a wicked file and puts everything I've had on an SAK to shame.
Overall I like it a lot. I've always been an SAK afficionado, but can definitely feel the beginnings of a Leatherman love affair that I am not sure I can afford!

One thing I noticed....the tang on the knives has a little tab that engages the lock mechanism when you open them. It makes it so the knives have a satisfying "snap" back into the handles when you close them. The file and saw don't have these tabs and are held in the handle with friction. Do you guys have any idea why the difference? (I like the snap personally.)
Googling, I found this pic. You see the difference in the tangs, the knife has that tab on the back. I wish the saw did!

The tab acts like a detent to keep the blades in the handle. Maybe they thought the saw was light enough to not need it. Welcome to the club mate.

I don't like the lanyard loop either. I don't use them on any of my multitools.I didn't like it at first either, Monrogue.
Here's what changed my mind: A pocket hanger!
Try making one out of a pice of paracord or other small diameter nylon rope.
Hang it from your belt so that it hangs vertically in the back of your pocket; instead of falling awkwardly into a sideways lump in the bottom of your pocket.
This moves not only the shape of it vertical and to the back of the pocket, but it also moves the weight of it to your belt, rather than the pocket liner!
It's shown with a 4-layer SAK, but I assure you that it works equally well with a Rebar.

Anyway, I think I'll be using the leather pouch at the moment as the landyard loop is in the same section of the knife. I'm bound to close it when I'll use the knife so it's an extra action if I'll hang the Rebar off an "S-carabiner".
I guess I was correct in saying that the Rebar's smooth exterior makes it less hot on the eyes than say, my Sidekick which gives the vibe of knife first before pliers, versus Rebar of pliers first before knife. People here aren't too comfortable here if they see you with a folding knife or something resembling it.
Oh, I like it that it resembles my Micra :P Must be the same family tree :multi:
I'm after the removable bit driver just to add more flexibility to the tool :)

Off to EDC and run some tests on it!

I then bought a decapitated BO one with a pair of BO Fuse (or something) CC pliers to fit instead, and set about building a knifeless version.There's only one way out of this club :twak: :twak: :twak:

I've been thinking about adding the can opener back in the rebar for some time, so I gave it a go with wave and spirit pliers. But instead of removing the lanyard loop as originally planned, I took out the small flat driver. I don't need two flat drivers. And the product as follows (http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/08/22/bda5e03221ad5886e2a88cca336409f1.jpg)

Looks AMAZING. Do you think it is possible to ditch the lanyard loop and keep the medium flat driver?
Post by: Demel on August 30, 2015, 05:55:56 AM
Thanks. :salute: Yes I think so, but it would still need some slight work because the small driver is thicker than the loop. I kept it in, because I really only needed the large flat driver and I wanted the rebar to be as versatile as possible.I've been thinking about adding the can opener back in the rebar for some time, so I gave it a go with wave and spirit pliers.

Yes , you have to reduce the thickness a bit. I choose the can opener to grind down to size.

Didn't notice you marked the serrated blade as well. It does help it getting the right blade on the first round.
That was the first thing I did to my Rebar right after I got it. :tu:
I wouldn't have ground down the can opener, but instead would have omitted it. Nice job though.
I did at first omit it but I put it back in with plans to turn it into a combo can/package opener.

Post by: SteveC on August 31, 2015, 09:26:09 PM
SteveC, that really looks amazing. Are you worried about the weakened tip of the can opener breaking? How much did you have to grind down the can opener. Between the lanyard ring and the washer on the phillips side, seems like a decent amount of space can be gained by rearranging.
I'll have to track down a pair of Wave scissors. (Anyone know where I might find those?) You have, IMO, the perfect multi tool there.
I'm not too worried because I don't really have any plans to open cans with it. Although I think it would hold up to the task. You basically have to match the thickness of the lanyard ring thickness, It's not a lot.
After the initial mod I ground down the lanyard ring to fit it in where the spacer was on the scissors side. I kept it in for a while but for some reason it was messing with the lock up of the saw so I took it back out.
Here's a link to my thread when I did the mods

There is a little space in the sheath.

I'm liking this tool. It was ultimately impossible to get EVERYTHING I wanted in one package, but if this had a pocket clip and spring loaded pliers :drool:
Carries easy and is same size or a little smaller than my benchmade 300sn. Even fits in my 5th pocket of a few pants I wear which is fantastic, so I can have more stuff in my fronts! Really happy so far. The quality has seemed to differ from my previous tools however, it was only $50 so I can give some leeway. Btw, is the rebar still made in Portland OR? Or do these cheaper tools get the foreign treatment?
Thanks! Will post pics soon.

I like the Rebar due to its small size and weight. When I don´t need the strong pliers of the ST300, the Rebar is a great tool to carry.

I put the scissors in place of the can opener. I ditched the lanyard ring and ground down the thickness of the can opener so it would fit in it's place. If I did it over again I would probably just ditch the can opener.
I thought that might have been the case :cheers: Just wanted to hear it :tu: Now why didn't LM just go ahead and put scissors in there if there was plenty of room ??? :facepalm:

If it were the old posts I would've said so, the others were fine and got badges.
The watch one only had links to your image hosting and didn't get a badge.
It's not that big a deal, just try again.

Welcome to the forum.

Well I've been collecting for 25 years, just never signed up for forum, what I have listed is just a portion of my collection. Forum has a 300 word limit, so I haven't inlcuded any of my SAKs or bucks, etc... Have approximately 250 tools. The MP 650 is a retired Gerber with interchangeable plier heads and the MP 700 is also called the Gerber Urban Legend. With current trends I see fewer makers of multi-tools and believe only handful of companies will exist in the near future. Just have to enjoy them while we can I guess.

Here is a pic of the MP 650 and MP 700, cool tools in their day.
I have always liked the idea of the changeable plier heads but I guess it just never caught on :-\ Would be very handy in certain situations but I guess a bit tedious to carry or keep up with the different heads :D

Anyone know the point of leatherman squaring off the edges of the plier heads, like on the Rebar? I seem to prefer the much more rounded look and feel.
Probably has to do with money (cheaper to make them like this now) :facepalm:
I do like the more rounded plier heads of the oldschool LM as well :cheers:

It's to strengthen the area that hold the replaceable cutters.They could have rounded the front half and left the angle behind the cutters
Post by: Poncho65 on August 09, 2016, 09:55:44 PM
It's to strengthen the area that hold the replaceable cutters.
They are a bit blocky now though vs. the older rounded style though :-\ They still look nice but I think taking those edges down a bit would make them have more appeal :D
I know I have a MT problem when I care about how the tool looks :facepalm: :whistle: :D

I am sure every bit of material you remove to make it rounded would also probably weaken it as well :ahhh :ahhh :ahhh

I carried my new Rebar everyday this past week, used multiple times every day and found it to be a great alternative to my previous month 30 day challenge.
I great design for me, the Phillips, pliers and serrated blade are the 3 most used tools so far.

I do believe that the Rebar beats the 300 in everything but the 300 being a bit more beefy and heavy duty but other than that the Rebar is a better fit for me :cheers:

I have yet to own a black oxide leatherman. But I'm sure I'll cross that off my list one day, maybe when it's time to replace the rebar I have now... :cry:
I think for sure that Stainless doesn't show wear and tear nearly as much right? I've used the hell out of some of my leathermans and allot of the time they look like they've only slightly been used. It'd be interesting to see for instance a year or wear on both, as a comparison.

I think the wear on a BO tool gives it character. Mine for the most part still look new, but from the pics I've seen on the site the wear on black oxide really looks good. I have purchased quite a few used BO Leathermans off eBay and surprisingly they still looked new. I think it holds up good or else I bought unused tools.

Compared in a retail shop with the ST300 and found it more fit my small hand. I am very surprised how compact, light, but mighty it is.
It's as small as a wingman, lighter than the wave, but gets all the useful tools in. Strong pliers and removable cutters. Waoo. And cheap.
I think I have to oil it well when home as the handles to deploy the pliers are super stiff at the moment. Many people say the inner tools are stiff but mine is fine. They are loose enough to be engaged without cracking my finger nails and stiff enough to keep them from falling out when using the pliers. Nice little bad boy.

Thanks for looking at my crazy post and that's it for the family boys. I wish I would get more members later if my wife don't yell at me. Visiting MTO everyday will eventually make me broke I believe~~~ :rofl:
Well, after playing with it for a few hours. I have a few questions:
1. The handles are super stiff. Is that normal? As long as it is operable, I don't think I will loosen the screws but it's really stiff to deploy and disengage the pliers. The pivot of the pliers is not stiff though, comfortable to operate.
2. The handles wiggle a bit when you squeeze it with force when the handle are closed. It's normal right? No wiggle when pliers stretched.
3 The PE blade seems not as sharp as I expected, is it normal? I know I can sharpen it on my own but I expected sharper when it is new. When the Surge was new, the PE blade was awfully sharp. I mean, it was really terribly sharp that I don't want to even touch the edge. When the Wingman was new, it wasn't that sharp but still super sharp they cut my fingers a few times. The Rebar now is... OK sharp... not dull at all but not that kind of scary sharp as the surge. How about yours when new? (no sign of used though)
4. Date code. No date code... is it normal for Rebar? I am buying through a small retail shop but it is very reputable. I don't think they sell knock off items but there is no date code. :-\
Thanks again for reading my post~~~ :whistle: :whistle:
Post by: kaput on September 18, 2016, 06:40:25 PM
To answer a few of your questions; yes my rebar was stiff to open, in fact I would just open and close it open and close it over and over and that seemed to definitely help. Most all of my other leathermans are all easier to open in fact. But, with that said I haven't felt the need to tinker and loosen it. It has gotten to a point I am comfortable with and just took using it allot.
Regarding the blade, I feel the same. The blade is not factory sharp like others, or like maybe Leatherman once made? I even have a freestyle I used a ton from about 5 years ago maybe more, that was a partially serrated blade but way sharper from the get go!
I still love the rebar. The size and form factor are why I liked Leatherman to begin with (Supertool style). And the tools are near perfect for me to feel confident being prepared for while carrying. It could have some small upgrades however :pok: :D

I will be edcing the Rebar recently. I am finding every chance to use it these two days and I have never imagine it can be so mighty at this size. Great tool. It fills my gap between my Wingman and Surge perfectly and even more. It's more compact than the Wingman but it does more than the Wingman except the package opener and scissors. In my normal days I won't have hard jobs that has to be done by surge. I think the rebar can just handle my everything daily. Only when real hard jobs are expected, I'll take the Surge. The Wingman will be in my weekend bag It is still a great and capable tool.
If you don't you the can opener a great deal it can be sharpened to become a package opener as well :tu: Scissors can also be added to the Rebar and make it an even better tool :cheers: Those can be bought from loki-mobile down in the trade forums in the same thread as the maintenance wrenches :cheers:

Yay! :whistle: I found the PE blade actually have a pretty good edge. That day when I just got it new, I said the PE edge wasn't sharp as I expected. I am those kind of lazy jerk who don't like sharpening. Just now, I tried to hon the PE blade against the back of a bowl (you know, flip over the bowl, excuse my poor English) for like 2 mins each side and the PE blade is now razor sharp. :like:
That is great that it sharpened right up for you :cheers: Unless second hand mine have always came razor sharp new out of the box though :think:

Not so long ago, I EDC'd a Rebar and was more than happy with it but it fell out of rotation. I know I'd like it better with scissors BUT don't care to give up my BLADEs (cough/bladeless rebar/cough) to have them!
Just buy or round up some Wave scissors and after a little resorting of the tools I lost nothing and still put scissors in :tu: My thread about it is over in the mod squad :cheers:

Nice pics Ponch :like: how's the pocket clip working out ?
Thank you Sir :hatsoff:
I am really loving the clip, it makes weekend carrying without a sheath so much easier now that I can just clip it in my pocket :cheers: Pocket carry was always Ok but being able to clip it makes a big difference :tu: I still have yet to loctite it but as long as it isn't giving me.any problems I am gonna leave it as is :cheers:

That is possibly my only other gripe about this wonderful tool ----- no clip! Are you reading this Leatherman??
Probably not but I am. :whistle: :whistle:

I noticed a weird situation to the pliers. When I open up the pliers, they are super loose and easy to use. The pliers can be opened by gravity but after some work like wire cutting or some harder screw or even I squeese the handle hard for nothing, the pliers would become noticeably stiffer. It can still be opened with one hand easily but not by gravity. I checked the cutting blade under this situation and see them a bit scratching each others. I have to disengage the pliers and reopen it or twist the pliers a slightly bit to get rid of the situation. Does that happen to yours? By the way, I found the cutting blade on the pliers align perfectly. They cut hair!!! That's amazing precision. Is that the reason to cause stiffer plier after hard squeezes?

After playing with and getting every chance to use the Rebar for more than a week, the handles are a lot loosen up and easier to use. I have been oiling it a lot and keep open and close, open and close several hundred times everyday when I was watching TV. The handles are a lot looser and no longer stiff now and won't crack my figers when disengaging the pliers.

:think: I don't seem to have that problem but mine won't cut hair either :o Occasionally I have to tighten the cutters up as that seems to loosen from time to time but mine is a few years old as well ;) Hope you figure out what's causing that though :tu:

I think I can live with it. Not really a big deal.
It's cool to have a rebar with scissors!! But I really don't know what to give up for the scissors. I am always hoping LM would provide "create your own". That would be super cool.

If you look at my mod the only thing I lost for the scissors was the lanyard ring and a couple spacing washers ;) I did a little reorder of the tools and viola a Rebar with everything it comes with factory plus scissors, a diamond file and a clip :cheers: Owe and I sharpened the can opener and made it a package opener as well :dd:

Gotta love the rebar, but I'm with Poncho on the scissors. I can't believe LM has come out with a knifeless version but can't seem to come out with a version that has both scissors and a blade. Hell, I'd almost be willing to give up the serrated blade....almost.
I think it would be in LM's best interest to have a version that ditched the SE blade and added scissors and still kept the PE blade :cheers: They would have to rearrange a few things because of the lock tab hump but I still think it would be worth it :dd:

I guess I'm a little more biased to the original model, if I had to pick one. And although I have the scissors modded into my rebar too, I could totally get by without them it seems. Scissors are good for cutting threads and clipping coupons :D but I seem to be able to manage with only NEEDING scissors infrequently. And I do use the serrated edged blade enough to not want to go without it.Gotta love the rebar, but I'm with Poncho on the scissors.

And for me another factor may just be the quality of the wave scissors. They're just ok. Definitely not great by most standards. In fact the scissors on my wingman are vastly better and bigger. most of the time I'm able to use a knife for the same thing I could use the scissors for, so it's close to a wash for me.
With all that said, I won't remove the scissors from my rebar. They are much nicer to have in lieu of the spacers and lanyard hole. :tu:
Also I won't tell leatherman my feelings on the matter, because I like you guys! :D
Post by: Demel on September 29, 2016, 12:04:52 AM
That's an interesting take. I actually prefer the Wave style scissors over the wingman. On thing the wave scissors accomplished (because of the smaller size) you can have a full plain edge and serrated blade, saw, file, and scissors. Instead of substituting the scissors for one long tool, you get all four plus scissors. Again not saying your wrong, because your uses are different and experience is never normative. The wave scissors aren't perfect. I would rate them third. 1) Gerber Flik 2) 91mm Vics 3) Wave. The best scissors I've used on a multi so far has been the Flik scissors. Really strong and they don't have the leaf spring like the vics. It's still a close race with all three. Leatherman needs to do what Poncho did....and Kampfer....and Breezy.....they should just hire MTO members for their R & D departmentI guess I'm a little more biased to the original model, if I had to pick one.

Or just bring back the sideclip and make us all happy again...
Post by: Poncho65 on October 12, 2016, 05:15:22 PM
I really dig that pocketclip mod! That's another thing I wish LM included on more models. They only made the Kick with the optional clip pivot, and I think it would have been a smart choice to include that hollow threaded pivot on at least the Rebar, but maybe the wave as well. I've never been a fan of the Wave's clip.
Or just bring back the sideclip and make us all happy again...
Seems as though it would be good for sales if all LM had a optional clip option :think: Since they already came up with a viable option with the Kick seems as though that would be a standard option on all future models :shrug:

It does seem rather silly that they don't use the hollow rivet on the Rebar. It would be an easy and cheap thing to implement and make a great tool better. Add scissors while you are at it Leatherman :poke:
But then what would you do in your free time? :rofl:

I like your belt clip Poncho! I actually pack mine everyday at work on my belt in its leather pouch. I lost track of the number of times I've put it to use.
Thanks Barry :hatsoff: I only use the clip either of the nights or on weekend carry and sheath carry for work as well :tu: The clip has made non sheath carry way more comfortable though :cheers:

Got another Rebar and this one is from Demel and has the Wave/Blast plier head and scissors in it already :cheers: I carried it today and now I am on the fence about which plier head I :like: better now ??? I do find it handy that you can change the cutters on the other plier head but I think that I get better cutting results from this type plier head :shrug: Oh well I shall carry both either way :DThat was was the same trouble I had. The replaceable cutters seem like the best thing since sliced bread, but many times using them I actually wished I had the wave plier head. It really comes down to preference. :shrug:

Yeah I remember thinking that the replaceable cutters were neat but after using the other plier head again I wished that less had the replaceable cutter now :facepalm: :D
I guess I would like the cutters better if they had an Allen wrench to keep them tight when they loosen though :think:

Very nice one Poncho. What was the source of the file? Does it have diamond on one side, metal file on the other and saw at the edge? I'd like to have all those three features in my Rebie, including saw that really cuts metal.
Yes it is a diamond file from a Wave and my good friend SteveC made this lovely file fit into the Rebar :cheers: He took a Dremel and cut the tang into the shape of the stock file and then I ended up with it :D I really never cut metal with the file I just usually use it for taking burrs off things and sharpening stuff from time to time and the diamond file excels at this :like:

I consider Surge file for that place because it is easy available as a spare part. Will it fit? of course with reasonable portion of grinding ;)
:think: Not sure if there is enough there to grind into the proper shape :shrug: Be great if it would work though as those are more readily available than any other LM file :tu:

The Rebar is destined for my "Emergency Bag" which I take with me on my boat. It will not replace my Surge which is my EDC.
It is a dandy tool for an emergency bag for sure :tu: After modding mine with scissors, a diamond file and a clip it has become my favorite tool and now that I have another with scissors and the older style plier head there us not many days that the Rebar isn't perfect for me as I usually carry one or the other unless I am just going in favor of variety :D

Well....looks like I'm joining the club. Just sent PayPal to a gent for a like new, never used SS Rebar with leather sheath...Got my new to me Rebar in the mail today. Heck, it looks brand new! I never realized how small the Rebar is! I'm not sure yet as today will be first time EDCing it, but I'm thinking I might have just found my new favorite Leatherman!!

It's possible I suppose that he doesn't want someone buying a bunch of them and then reselling them for more .

I found myself carry the rebar a lot less after getting the skeletool, but when I really need to work on something, I am still going back to rebar. The weight and effectiveness of skeley is irresistable for EDC standby tool but when it comes to real jobs, I still rely on the rebar.
That is the way I see it as well :salute: I love the lightness of the Skeley and weekend carry (usually Sundays) but if I want to work I will reach for my Rebar or something even heftier :D :like:

I have been extremely impressed by the black Oxide quality. I unknowingly thought that it would always wear off on my hands (which it did first couple days, but not bad, and has since stopped). And I thought it would look like hell very shortly after edc'ing. The tips have worn off some black, but the handles and plier head are still really nice.
Yes it is indeed still very nice :dd: :drool: :like: :like:

I grinded away the small notch that makes the two blades lock. That gives me an easier justification of EDCing the Rebar legally (in my country).

The blade does feathersticks quite nicely. This is just a small test.

How do you guys find the "bladeless" Rebar? I have a standard Rebar and so far so good - I just grab a pair of scissors when I need them. I'm thinking of getting a bladeless (mostly for my kid's arts and crafts etc needs) and eventually pairing it with a dedicated knife in the event that a blade would be needed.
I know as far as Leathermans are concerned, it's supposed to be pliers first, then other tools, otherwise just go settle for a SAK then get a pair of dedicated pliers/vice grips.
Does the bladeless Rebar feel awkward? useless/waste of money? or a great starter tool for a 10-year old son?
Post by: LoopCutter on June 22, 2017, 03:48:50 AM
A Walmart Ozark MT $4.00 maybe a good option, a tad smaller, either remove the blade or tell him to leave alone.
It also has a very good sheath included.
A LM Wingman is another option, about same size as LM Rebar. It is fitted with scissors.

I had put scotch tape over them temporarily. But maybe a more permanent solution would help. I will mention the holster is snug to begin with so it would have to be thin stock. I'll give that a shot probably. Thanks :salute:

The Rebar is the most photogenic tool of the "new generation of tools" in my opinion, classic Leatherman beauty ...
Along with the Supertool series and the Swisstools, the Rebar completes my top three of prettiest tools.

The leather sheath...half as thick gauge leather as the PST sheath and the rivets don't seem to have washers to prevent rip- through. But still seems like a good quality sheath. Good. Not excellent like the PST.
Rebar has no date codes. I don't know why for the life of me. The blasted sheath has a Made in Mexico sticker inside with a date code of January 2017. The sheath does. The tool does not. Enigmatic.
Rebar is a quality tool. I've been debating buying it for years, and have bought for gifts.
Stiff plyer head, which I read will loosen over time.
Nice rolled edges! Not as completely rolled as my '07 Surge,but not bad
Super Tool 300's little brother for sure
Blades are sharp right out of the box
Love it's old-school design, size, weight, and inside opening tools.
The Blast is actually much better at giving up one tool at a time...or should I oil Rebar up a bit to solve that?
Even still I love it and love that there is an old school design still available and without zytel
Now my pants will stay up, as I will leave the Surge in my bag or my truck.
That's all for now. Am I off base or on point?

I will be carrying the rebar daily, paired with either the SAK Camper 2 or my old Super Tinker for the scissors. Then again, I do have my Micra...

The sheath I used for ages was the stock pleather sheath and it is still in decent shape :tu: They don't put date codes on them because some of the early ones had them and they showed through the handles (stamped to hard apparently for that guage of steel) ::) :D I also love the rolled edges :like: The Blast was designed not to clump using washers but the Rebar like the ST300 is designed to clump :whistle: Thus making the tools easier to get out of the handle :facepalm: Some see it as a plus and others a minus (to each his own on this point I guess ;) ) It will definitely loosen up over time, oil will help but I use the loki wrenches to adjust mine exactly how I want them :cheers. Seems pretty spot on with what you are saying as well :salute:

I will admit, the date codes on my Blast are very faint, but not sure I'm buying that stamping issue reason for no dates on the Rebar...after all, they found a way to stamp "B02" into it at the lock release without it shining through.
The file seems to be more aggressive than the one on the old model Surge, and cut square at the end as opposed to being cut at an angle.
I really like this one. Little ST300, but scissors instead of that lanyard ring would have really made this even more exceptional. Are there date codes in the ST300?

Very nice addition, Steve. I do like the Rebar very much for what it is, but between my PST II, my Surge, and my Blast, I am used to having scissors and -except in the PST II - also a saw...I may consider following your lead on that
Post by: ThundahBeagle on September 21, 2017, 01:05:15 PM
Earlier posts in anticipation of its release and reviews of the tool, as well as those after the 2012 release date, even User Guides, do specifically identify them as 154cm, but not the two I have just purchased (1 blister pack,1 boxed) Just "premium." Hopefully not as in "premium leather sheath..."
And other tools are still being identified as featuring 154cm wire cutters, but not the Rebar.
Are we now receiving a less quality tool than was originally being offered?
Post by: SteveC on September 21, 2017, 02:14:04 PM
I personally hate the "Premium Pleather sheaths. I have acquired old school Leatherman sheaths for all my tools.
Post by: ThundahBeagle on September 21, 2017, 08:55:23 PM
What I would like to know from the group is, is it bad form to sign the email and then sign below that with my MTO handle mentioning that affiliation? It seems pretentious. Then again, are they wanting to know when individual communications are with MTO members?
I have held off sending the inquiry into the Rebar wire cutters until I hear some feedback from the group.
Thanks

Post by: ThundahBeagle on September 26, 2017, 03:10:34 AM
According to Shellee, she is unaware of any change to the replaceable wire cutters in any of the tools and she does not know why the change in nomenclature.
She said that even though the new Rebars only list them as "premium" wire cutters, the replacement packs are still being touted as 154CM, so she believes the new tools are 154 CM as well.
I was glad to hear from her, and glad for what she said, but I do harbor a tiny seedling in my mind that if these were 154CM, wouldn't they continue to state that fact. Is it possible a change has been made for better or worse, or that the use of 154 is being challenged as such?
Any thoughts?
Post by: ThundahBeagle on September 26, 2017, 03:12:22 AM
If they only care to answer you because you're active on MTO, they aren't worth it. They need to treat ALL clients the same.
This counts for ALL manufacturers!
Agreed on all counts, Mech. And I was happy to receive a response so quickly. I'm three hours ahead of Oregon, so, I'm more that happy with the speed of response

I have a mixed back of MUTs that I'm pretty happy with. I keep Gerber Stratas in the GHBs and each car has a LM Sidekick in the glove box. I carry another Strata on occasion, though I might be carrying either a LM Juice S2 or KF4 when I belt-carry a MUT out in the wilds. In my sailbag I've been carrying an old Gerber Mr. Pinchy which has saved the day and/or a race more than a few times.
I retired my two PSTs over a decade ago, though a friend borrowed one and messed up the pliers. After taking it apart and checking it out, I decided to send it to LM for warranty work...hence the new Rebar.
Here's one for Leatherman warranties and customer service, and great turnaround! :hatsoff:

Congrats on the new Rebar, how are you liking after having for a bit ?
Thanks for asking, Steve. :cheers:
It's feels better in the hand than a PST, but I still don't like that you have to open the pliers to get to any tool. This is where the Gerber Strata, LM Wave, and the LM Juice MUTs are better IMHO. I'll play with it some more, but my feeling is that this will sit on the bench more than be carried.
Post by: kaput on October 17, 2017, 03:45:20 AM
Glad to hear she said they are still 154 :cheers: but it still doesn't sound right since they aren't putting it on the package :think: We need to watch this and see if anyone starts noticing any difference with the way these cut over the previous ones :think:I mainly more often than not cut soft braided wires and cables so I won't notice a huge difference, if there was one. 154cm is great tho. I really like that steel, definitley hope it stays.

I still don't get it why I bought a Rebar (will arrive in 1-2 months) even though I already have a Wingman and a Charge TTi (medium MTs). My mind said a Surge or a Juice S2 was a logical choice, but I kept gravitating back to a Rebar. Even now I keep looking at various Rebar pics.Wouldn't necessarily be an argument where you live but in countries which allow locking blades but not OHO the Rebar might have an appeal...

Technically its illegal to carry any sharp objective in our country if its not related to livelihoods or in pursuit of legal activities. But its an old law not really being enforced. So legally speaking its prohibited to carry 99% of LMs. This is why the Knifeless Rebar has extra appeal for me also, just in case our laws are strictly enforced :whistle:

Tonight while prepping for work week, and was planning to substitute the Coyote for the Stainless. But by accident discovered the tools are not identical. My stainless and BO both
Have the smaller flat blade and the Coyote has a wider blade, yet smaller than the wide blade on all 3.
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171022/29f08f4b7d80d164acc885ebef0988d7.jpg)
Was curious if other owners with their Rebars have the smaller taper flat blade? If this common with the Color versions released as limited additions, or just unique to the Coyote or just mine?

Not sure about the LM one you have, but I thought the coyote one from Cabelas had a weird feel to it. Still love it tho.

Yep a little bit. The coyote not bad feel, but hands down the jungle feels amazing! I agreeWouldn't be surprised if they sold out, during holidays they re released them? I also liked the look of the grey one too. The coating on these feel better than the rest I've felt.Love that rebar kaput!!! Super nice! :like:I've been on the search!Thanks Glockfan. Yeah has good style but isn't obnoxious in the slightest. Are they no longer available?
Haven't seen them on the site in awhile. Should of grabbed when I first saw them.

A related question to the massed forum knowledge base: of course I did the reverse operation on a BO Rebar, i.e. put the modded Rebar VX tool complement in the BO handles.
While doing that I discovered a printed text on one handle, see pic below. Apart from the fact that it happens to be perfectly apt, does anyone know the origins of that text i.e. is it a special issue of some kind?

Explained the issue, had the receipt yet, which reduced any questions.
We inspected the replacement, it was good, I signed for the exchange. They then provided me the entire package including sheath, returned the original sheath, and then provided a $20 rebate for my troubles.
Better than ever expected.

I'm new here and most of you probably know where to get a good horizontal sheath, but I had a hard time finding one that wasn't $40 or $50. I thought if there were people like me looking for one, this would help. It works great and I don't even know it's there.

I like my Rebars, I own 3. A Stainless, a BO, and a Coyote Tan. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171022/2d38c48e18e7c75ef80c9801096f0dbf.jpg)
Tonight while prepping for work week, and was planning to substitute the Coyote for the Stainless. But by accident discovered the tools are not identical. My stainless and BO both
Have the smaller flat blade and the Coyote has a wider blade, yet smaller than the wide blade on all 3.
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171022/29f08f4b7d80d164acc885ebef0988d7.jpg)
Was curious if other owners with their Rebars have the smaller taper flat blade? If this common with the Color versions released as limited additions, or just unique to the Coyote or just mine?

I had my receipt, confirmed they had a unit on the rack, explained my issue.
The clerk confirmed with a manager, who approved the exchange. We confirmed the new unit was correct. They then gave me the complete package, returned my original sheath, a copy of receipt with a bonus $20 rebate slip for immediate use.

I'm happy for you an0nemus. I know you will enjoy it. I love mine. The only thing i wish it had was pocket clip. THAT would make it perfect.
extremely enjoying it and been touting about it's excellent features within our local FB group! I've thought about a pocket clip but since I prefer pocket caddies these days, I'm okay with it having none as an option.
the only upgrade I want is the bitkit and extension. Im glad LM has these for rebar owners :like:

Folks, what is the exact size of our Rebar's Phillips screwdriver? Will a drive 1/4 " 6.35MM square fit?
From vague memory it's around 5 - 5.3mm but can't confirm that until tomorrow sorry.

I've got my LM tools at home but as far as I can remember from the Phillips tool swap between my Wave and the Rebar this should be close to 5 mm, as zoid says. The 1/4"-square hole is unlikely to be able to hold on to that.Ah, so this won't fit, DT?

I missed this thread when the question was still open, but yeah, I came up with the same solution to the problem, the adapter from my Ganzo G201 fits the Rebar. There's a little wiggle, but as it's evident from the tape on the Ganzo, it was the same with the tool it came with. Anyway, good enough and way cheaper and more universal than the LM adapter.

nice set up, I carry the same kit, but separate of the Rebar. I also use the kit with the ST300 and have an extender with the WAVE and Surge. One bit kit shared by multiple tools. :whistle:
Also, try reversing the rebar in the pouch, with hinge down. It should sit lower, and may allow the one bit sheath to right on the back side better, so the Rebar is not sandwiched between the two sheaths.

I'm guessing that you may have addressed this before, but did you slap on that shine with a buffing wheel? Looks great.

I wouldn't try forcing a Patina on BO. You might remove the oxide coating.I mean, just the bits, not the Rebar. Still not advisable, SteveC?
Post by: an0nemus on June 09, 2018, 03:05:24 PM
^ agree with Steve. Just wipe down and allow time, handling and your rough hands to create a one of a kind patina that you will truly appreciate. :multi:Thanks for the useful tips! True, I may just let time apply the patina.

I also recently aquired a used ST300. Its my first 4.5" LM and I admit Im still debating whether to bring it as my LM inside my bag or the Rebar. The ST300 feels infinitely more capable!

Do you have sheath for ST300? Also, are you aware of Super Tool Saturday, (still Saturday here), unsure if Sunday yet in your part of the world.
What I like about the duo, is that regardless which one is with me, I have the same tool set, no need to carry both. My Rebar gets duty out and about, the ST300 more around the home front and large projects.
Congrats on the ST300 :tu:

Credit where it belongs, the swap was inspired by Poncho65 (https://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,74755.msg1589319.html#msg1589319) who did it before me. Then having a SS and BO rebar in front of me (the SS modded) I simply had no choice but to give in. Intensely gratifying little mod, that is :tu:

After that, i thought, it might be handy to have a good but cheaper tool than a wave to hang arround in the car or work bag.
After reading here, i decided on the Rebar.
It looks stronger than the a wingman i once had, altough the price was almost the same.
It came with a small leather sheath, but the skeletool Cx came with a big nylon one, perfect suited for the rebar and bit kit! (Skeletool is worn skeleted, clipped in the pocket).
Did some paracord in yellow to it, functional, but looks good too
Now only need to find a aa or preferred aaa sized yellow flashlight ....

It is very personal if a tool works for anyone, to me a skeletool has its purposes, many days i do not need more than pliers, good knife, wire cutters and screwdriver, and i want it to be in my shorts pocket, not on a belt.
Rebar is to heavy for my shorts front pocket, and serves other tasks,for example, on ham radio field days, when can openers, files and saws come in handy.
But i really like the big file on the rebar allready, even beter than the one on my wave. But also that has it purpose with its diamond coated side. Works great as my manly manicure ;)
Post by: Glockfan on July 27, 2018, 10:00:23 PM
Well, i spent a lot on some leathermans last 2 weeks, got a skeletool CX because my wave, bit kit, aaa light and what else was in my skinth, were to heavy for my shorts, then realized i wanted a crunch too for grabbing stubborn nuts and broken screws.
After that, i thought, it might be handy to have a good but cheaper tool than a wave to hang arround in the car or work bag.

Skeletool is a bare minimum i agree, but calling it pointless is a bit too harsh i think.
It is very personal if a tool works for anyone, to me a skeletool has its purposes, many days i do not need more than pliers, good knife, wire cutters and screwdriver, and i want it to be in my shorts pocket, not on a belt.

Worry not, it will break in. For me it took a weekend of fidgeting with it, since then it's smooth and loose in a good way, opening-closing is completely effortless. Just keep at it.

My Rebar pliers were far stiffer than that when I got it!! I had to get the grinding paste on them!
Absolutely fine now......
Post by: LanWolf on August 19, 2018, 12:05:09 PM
It will take a week or so to break in. Mine is now buttersmooth for the feeling, but sillt stay put where i leave it.
Even my surge which was a real pita to open the yaws the first few days now is completely loose and can even be moved arround with a feather. (Maybe too loose? )
But my wave never became that loose even after 5 years of hard duty.....still stays put in the position i put it in.

The stiffness on the video seems/is perfectly normal, and it will break in.
Also, one tip I forgot to mention yesterday: IF the pliers stick when completely closed, you may want to have a look at the cutters' alignment, the tiniest adjustment can mean a huge difference, just loosen the screws, move the cutter blades a hair and see if it's better.

When I got my Rebar the pliers were way too tight and I didn't like it very much! But now I've loosened them off I love it, it's one of my favourite tools.
I do like my pliers fairly loose though, I find it makes my job easier!

Anyway; I am surprised how must looser and smother they are now, after just a couple of hours working with it. It’s a whole different tool now

Yeah I love it! ....the light and compact design plus the simplicity of it, is awesome to say the least.
This is the reason I bought it too, after having spend a week back home in Denmark with my old LM Kick.....simplicity is just better, no doubts about it
I feel the same when it comes to cars / machines, or even computers / electronics, and also the same reason I stay away from most German cars or most modern cars for that matter, too much crap to go wrong and a nightmare to fix every time

Well today gonna be in town, so decided on the rebar for today, with the Vic classic as company for te scissors and less hostile look when i have to cut something. It gets more accepted when i first try with the classic, and then bring out the bigger tool.
Altough i never had any comment when using a mt or big ugly knife like the hawkbill, in some occasions i am carefull not to scare people on first sight. Mostly i hear “oh that is handy, thank you” when i helped out someone :D

Which “leatherman” sheath fits the Rebar, that has an internal pocket for a bit kit and elastic side with a “pocket”/Mount for a bit extender?
To my understanding the one for the Wave should fit, but there are two models (which look exactly the same?)
1)
https://www.multi-tool-store.co.uk/accessories-c34/leatherman-leather-belt-sheath-for-wave-sidekick-wingman-p856
Says it is compatible with both the wave, sidekick and wingman
2)
https://www.multi-tool-store.co.uk/accessories-c34/leather-belt-sheath-for-leatherman-wave-p1370
Says it only fits the wave? ....and it is almost half the price?
Any help or input would be appreciated.
For me it has to be a leather sheath, I don’t like the nylon ones at all.

Been using the Wave+ in the 30 day challenge and they have improved quite a bit in that time.
The Rebar annoyed me so much I decided to "fix" them immediately!

Yeah! The Rebar was really bad.... Locked up really tight, used grinding paste to free them off, they're fine now.
Wave+ are slightly better through lots of use.
Hmm...interesting
It’s mainly just because my pliers in my charge and Kick were never like this

I've only experienced this with these two tools!!
Maybe it is just a weird “break-in” thing with the Rebar and Wave+ then
Do you remember how long it took for this to pass?

Been using the Wave+ in the 30 day challenge and they have improved quite a bit in that time.
The Rebar annoyed me so much I decided to "fix" them immediately!
Yeah I have to be honest, mine are pretty bad too. I didn’t think too much of it in the beginning as mine was pretty stiff in general when I got them, but it’s almost every time I use them; they stiffen up like this and it’s getting on my nerves.
I have tried oiling them with different types of oil (didn’t make any difference at all) and I have tried to continuously open and close them, which did more than trying to oil them.
I don’t have any grinding paste laying around, but I tried with some toothpaste and it actually made a little difference. I might try this a little more, but if it comes to it I’ll see if I can find some grinding paste, and go to town on it.
Thanks for your help anyway :cheers:

I never thought of the Rebar as a heavy duty tool, and I use it like a pocket knife. It is excellent as a light all-purpose in the pocket tool. I tend to use the silver model, as I love the black oxide in the pure state. But I will scuff it up in use soon enough.
It works in the pocket for me precisely because it is a nice, neat rectangle, with no jutting bits. Stays grit-free on hikes, like my SuperTool 300. I can forgive the extra second or so to open up the knife. I usually have a 45cm Gurkha kukri clenched between my teeth on a town walkabout anyway.

Very nice Frankenmehrfachwerkzeug!

Scissors are out of a Wave, as are the bit drivers, file and pocket clip. For complete history see Rebar VX status (https://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,74592.msg1796462.html#msg1796462). Original: pliers, main blades (PE, SE), saw, large screwdriver, awl and can opener - the rest is "imported" :D

Some factory fit and finish issues I had to fix. More details in a post to follow, but you’ll spot the brass bushes in the locking tabs. Had fun fitting those tonight!
Tools now lock rock solid, so a worthwhile mod. I bet nobody can guess where I got 3mm bushes? RC car servo mounts...
First Leatherman stripdown and mod for me. I used aluminum coated copper cable terminators for pivot tools. Work well (quick and no damage).
Enough for tonight, so kicking back to enjoy the Rebar. It’s not perfect, but the club members know, with a bit of work, a great tool!
Cheers, Max

Also nice mod on the pins of the lock tabs, Max :like:
Thanks Poncho65.
I realized reading all the Rebar threads that the tool “wobble” was a common problem reported by users, so I took a closer look at the geometry of the locking system under a magnifier.
I could see that the culprit was play in the lock tab pin holes. It was easy to see that the pin could move forward and back in the hole, enough to allow the tool to rotate slightly on the pivot when locked open.
What’s nice about my ‘fix’ is that there’s no modification to the Rebar. The brass bushing is pressed into the hole from the inside (so it does not fall out), filed down almost completely so the lever can be re-installed without binding on the bushing. Then I simple ground down the remaining part of the tube to be flush with the handle.
All the tools now lock completely solidly, and still deploy smoothly with no issues. Just the casting of the lock recess of the Phillips is a little wide, so there’s still a tiny bit of play, but nothing like it was.
I suspect that LM leave some tolerance to allow for tolerance variations as there are 3 pieces of metal that must align perfectly to lock a tool.
The brass bushings I used are known as ferrules, used inside a rubber grommet to mount RC servos. Pic below.
So the challenge is to see if other Rebar owners are up to the challenge of this fix?
Kind regards, Max

The first one I got (right after release) failed on me after two days of nothing else but taking pics of it.
The second one I got (replacement of the first one) was missaligned by half the thickness of a handle ... so back to the store with that one.
I got so tired of it that, instead of replacing the second one with yet another Rebar I got myself a Wave.
But one year later I once again stood face to face with a Rebar at the local outdoor store and decided to give it another go. And as they say, third time's a charm and this one was perfect in every way :D. Some time later I got myself a BO Rebar and it was also perfect, and since then the Rebar has become one of my favorite multitools out there.
And then one of the members here starts a topic "Should I get a Rebar", showing pics of the Coyote version and immediately I was like :drool:.
So guess what ::).

I am fighting a battle in my head on buying one of these or not. I asked my 8 year old and he said no when I told him it has the same tool set as the one I have. Then I reminded him he has multiple of the same nerf guns in different colors. He says it might be kinda cool to get it.
Does that make it ok to order? Logic is a bitch.

tx man, I've seen you've done some mods that I plan on doing (like the pocket clip).
I might pick your brain in a while, once I get my hands on some spare parts.
I will help anyway I can :salute: I am not an expert by any means though and although I have done several mods MTO was my guide as well :tu:

Needless to say I'm pretty jazzed to get at it :ahhh

My family Christmas will be on New Year’s Eve.
I not excited for what I get, BUT, more so to see the faces of my grandkids seeing what I and Mrs LC wrapped for them. I’ve hand picked four knives for four of the group. So give your wife the surprise face she deserves!

Yesterday i have undone some bolts with pliers and now it is even harder to open than it was out of the box.
Bolst were not SO tight to cause any kind of damage or bend. There is no visible problem whatsoever, but the pliers are now close to unusable, being able to open using only both hands.
What could have happened?

Can't hardly wait until the rebar I won gets here but I have some concerns. How do you carry it?I carry mine in its leather sheath on the belt. The good thing is that there are some nice holsters being made that you can find even here on this forum. :cheers:

Guys, i know the info i need is somewhere here, but where?! :D so, can somebody tell me what tools you use for those screws/nuts that hold the rebar tools together? Loki is not available now. Thank you!
Screw pliers, vampliers, engineer pliers...

Thank you! Still trying to find something at home. I tried with the wenger needlenose pliers but those are not really made for that. And I have no reason/access/real need to the real tool area until... well, who knows?! I want to remove some of the tools to make it lighter. Because, you know, i won't have reasons to carry it anyway now :facepalm:
I've used blunt nosed pliers and vise grips before. As a last resort, dremel or hacksaw in a large flat driver slot.

Some say the Squirt type pliers work, but even with Loki's keys it can be hard. Mine had a ton of Loctite on the screws ::)

Much appreciated guys! I have to wait, though. The file is not locking so i've to send it back and get another one. I hope they check first and send after.
Uh... I wonder how that can happen :think:

I thought that the use of a spacer was a wasted proposition, ever since I got my Knifeless. So, after pondering to get a knife blade (combo or serrated; which would've defeated the "knifeless" purpose/would've been an expensive proposition) and knowing it already had an awl and scissors, I looked at my comatose Rev and decided to pull it's plug and make it a donor; out comes the package opener! Now i'll think forever about it every time I carry the Rebar. :multi:
Opinions still welcomed. :hatsoff:

Why is that washer there? Put another tool in its place.
Why stop there? Put the lanyard ring on the outside of the tool, like on the PST, and put another implement in its spot too. That's two more implements without losing anything. Don't they want to boost the feature count? :pok:

I've been wanting to do a Rebar Challenge for a long time. I love carrying mine. Mrs R used mine to take a burnt out bulb from a lamp she has. It was hard to get at, but those pliers fit right in.I’d be up for the challenge Barry. Only had the Rebar a few months and already one of my all time favourite PBMT’s :cheers:

Welcome aboard!!Ahoy, matey! Okay, I’m stopping there. At least in the absence of my Rebar, I can customize the SOG PowerLock I picked up. I’m strongly considering changing the loadout of tools to more closely match that of my Rebar, or with some personal touches. I do love that SOG sells alternative and replacement parts for some of their multitools.

That coyote etching looks stunning; is the blade getting its own too?; pictures when it arrives, please! :tu: :like:I wanted to get line art of the Three Sisters Generating station by Lake Powell, where my father worked at one time, but I couldn’t find anything like I wanted. I may have that done later on, or see if anyone on the forum could do it.

Yes and a pair of scissors and an outside opening blade and a bit driver slot it would be the number 1 tool. But, I guess that what the Wabar or Rave mashup is for haha!!!

Oh and I did add the diamond file to that one as well :D
Post by: mrcgofga on April 01, 2021, 04:39:04 AM
I use the bit adapter on the square shank Phillips and that takes care of the bit driver part, plus I have added scissors and a clip to one of mine :D No 1 handed blades as I don't really need them but they are nice sometimes :tu:

Had no clue they offered that option from Leatherman. I will have to look to see if I can get one. I have the other 21 piece bits for the Surge and Wave. That is definitely an addition I would like to have for my Rebar. And you said you added scissors to your Rebar? Is there a specific scissor type needed to fit the Rebar or will any of them work?

Well what do you know? Leatherman had it on their site available for $24. After shipping and taxes came out to right under $33. This is a game changer thanks for letting me know about this P65 I had no clue. Thanks again!!!

The scissors are the ones in the Wave/Charge/Blast etc :cheers:
In the scissor mod all that is really lost (after a bit of reordering) is the lanyard ring and maybe a washer :cheers: Everything still fits and you get scissors :woohoo:
Several people have done this mod and it makes the Rebar way more versatile :tu: I will get some pics this evening of some of my Rebar mods and regulars :cheers: if I remember anyways :woohoo: :facepalm: :D

This one is my most heavily modded one :tu: It is color swapped with BO handle and plier head, it has Wave/Charge scissors, a Wave/Charge diamond file grinded down at the pivot end to match the lock tabs of the Rebar vs the liner locks of the tool it came out of, the can opnener sharpened at the tip to also be a package opener and the tools have been reordered just a bit to be able to keep everything in whilst also gaining scissor :salute: only losing the lanyard ring ;) and lastly I swapped out the pivot to a LM Kick pivot so it would accept the Kick clip and screw :tu: the Kick clip has a tab that is normally turned down and another member actually cut a slot in the handle to accomodate this and made it more sturdy but I just flattened it out a bit and had to get the tension just right to keep it in place and also be able to get the tools out without to much problem :cheers:
(https://i.imgur.com/6DB1GPah.jpg)
The next one is just the reversed color swap partner of the above :tu: otherwise it is factory, at least I think it is :think: :D
(https://i.imgur.com/9g8h4Zgh.jpg)
The 2 together can give you a bit of a comparison as to where I swapped what to fit the scissor in :cheers: others have accomplished the same but some have done so with different order :tu:
Also of note, you have to put the scissors beside a long tool and they cannot be on the outside because they won't work because of the way the lock tabs are made :salute: otherwise it is a straight drop in mod and adds a lot of versatility to the Rebar :like:

And you got a pocket clip. Which pocket clip did you use? That, to me, along with the scissors, is the best mod upgrade to the Rebar. That would turn mine into an everyday, backpack, camping, hiking, flying.....okay "Total Use" MT. I have a couple of Waves with broken parts lying around. Good mashup. Good mods there P65. I may be hitting you up to get some pointers although you've explained it pretty well here in the posts.
Post by: Poncho65 on April 02, 2021, 08:28:13 PM
You have to take the pivot pin out of a LM Kick for it to work like it is suppose to though :salute: the Kick pivot is tapped especially for that clip :tu:
I will try to answer any questions that you have if I can but there are several molders on here with much more knowledge than me :tu:

I've had it since 2015 and put 30,000 miles on it and it's still going strong (it gets looked after :tu: )
Also, it's the largest bike I can get through my garden gate, to work on (the walkway means it has to go in at an angle ::) )
What do you have then... :think:

Just gave my Rebar a well deserved pocket clip from Nite Ize. Had to cut the corner to be more comfortable and also not to put much pressure on the clip while squeezing the plier. Will see how long that 3M VHB tape will hold.Keep us posted as to how the clip works M, from what I’ve heard they stick on pretty well to SAKs and hard to remove so hopefully a good solution

The rebar has become my “if I could only edc one MT“ MT :think:
The wave is easier to deploy but a bit heavier and using the saw particularly, less comfortable to use. The Spirit has the nicest action but again heavier and on my XC, just the butter blade so I need to carry another blade.
The only thing the Rebar is missing is scissors and over the last few months on knife only challenges I’ve not really missed them as much as I thought I would
And in BO well what’s not to like :D

:tu: :hatsoff:I’m glad to hear you are so satisfied with the Rebar. I’m liking it too. I also usually like to have scissors on my multitools, but I usually go for a SAK when I want scissors, so I was willing to give the Rebar a try. It’s about perfect, except for the scissors. I am looking forward to having a serrated blade.

Thanks Ponch :hatsoff:. I managed to get the clip a little bit further to the right in the pic than on the Bond (LM could have done the same TBH) so that the Rebar sits deeper in the pocket.
Acute observers will note this is my mixed SS/BO Rebar :D

That's so pretty! :dd:
If I could have a Free clip on my Rebar I'd be so happy.

Joking aside, it is not a very involved conversion. Once the stuff was available it took me all of 13 minutes.
Post by: ReamerPunch on June 08, 2021, 09:05:51 PM
Well, all it takes is a stationary drill of some kind, a centre drill bit (I used a 1.5 mm), an HSS drill bit @ 1.8 mm, a tap set (said UNC 2-56) and handle and the kit.
"all it takes" :rofl:

Nice EDC kit :tu: :like: :like:Thank you. I like it. The only problem I’m having with it as an edc is competition from the Bond/Vic Compact, and the soon to arrive original PST…but there are definitely worse things in life than a little good natured competition between ones various edc options :-)

Added a Vic Rambler to the Rebar kit for the nice little SAK scissors. Along with a pocket notebook, it makes for a decent little grab and go edc.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210608/6e37304fb0747f70484f23ab2a62b6aa.jpg)Very nice! Good idea. May steal it.

(https://i.imgur.com/B1vtj7vh.jpg)Nice choice for colors. I know I love the coyote and black, as I wear/use it when I’m not sporting my customized Charge. I even recently used my Charge’s saw to cut some roots out of the way, so I could help my Mom plant a new Eucalyptus tree, after losing two Palo Verde trees to weather.

The middle one is a dual color Rebar so it is stainless handles and BO tools and plier head ;)
I made this one and have the opposite twin of it as well (that one is in the picture above it with a Kick clip modded on it ) :cheers:
In the first picture it looks brown compared to the 2 Rebars that bracket it. And in pics 4 & 5 it looks brown compared to the Rebar in pic 3. I understand that your camera settings may be affecting the way the MT appears in the pictures. But it doesn't look like the frame has the same surface texture that the 2 with clearly SS frames have.

The combination of the black tools and tan handles looks great. And having a grippy surface is good. I don't know about you (I suspect that it may be true for you too since you are a mason) but after working 36+ years in construction my hands are a little dry and slick and don't work quite as well as they used to. Non-slippery handles can be helpful.
I am not a big fan of all BO MTs, but the two tone MTs you have put together really are appealing to me :tu:

I’m like a giddy school kid thinking about adding scissors to the Rebar.
I’m just concerned that a pair of wrenches for the Rebar is gonna cost USD40 while the spare scissors from a junker is only USD20, all from a local seller up north.
Not sure if I have anything else that’ll work on the binders of the Rebar.

Post by: Zephon on October 15, 2021, 04:03:55 AM
Given:
- my only tools are the wrenches and SAK tweezers. No drills, dremels or anything of the sort.
- no spare washers
Puzzles:
- in the configuration in my previous post, the plier head touches the nail nick of the scissors. It closes but if you clam down firm enough, you’ll feel the scissors / plier head shift from being on top of one another to beside each other.
- philips and awl need to be in the center as they contour out of the way for the plier head.
- can opener (very important for me) has nail nick on right side only. It doesn’t have top side fingernail access like the awl or flatheads.
- when folded, the scissors have a thumb stud to its left.
Solution:
With plier head on top, sequence on one arm from left to right is:
Plain edge blade
Can opener
Small flat head
Awl
Large flat head
File
Then:
Serrated blade
Philips
Spacer
Scissors
Wood saw
Tool clumping on the awl-flatheads-can opener? Yes, thank you very much. Actually helps with tool deployment. The scissors cut and does not get disconnected from the spring.
Basically, I think it’s a success and worth the money and effort.

I have to admit that I’m exhilarated such that it feels I have a totally new LM.
I’m thinking of saving up a bit more and getting a large bit holder from a Wave so that the Rebar can use the ratchet driver and bit kit. I’m picturing it as something along the lines of an ST300M.

Plans suddenly took a bad turn when the seller mistakenly sent me eyeglass screwdriver holder instead of the bit holder. Yeah, he was telling me to keep it and he’ll just send the correct part but in good faith plus having no current use for it, I opted to send it back for refund and start the process of purchase all over again.
Item return pickup is scheduled tomorrow so the entire process may take the whole week.

I can pair my Rebar with a bit kit and ratchet bit and my Rebar now has added flexibility. The bit in the picture is the philips #1-2 and flat 3/16 that I bought separately.
Now…for recessed screws…. Maybe I should get the 2.5inch long bit as well…..
Post by: Poncho65 on October 22, 2021, 01:39:30 PM
I haven't found that the LM Phillips Adapter added any wobble though :think: (I do prefer the bit driver mostly over the dedicated Phillips though) I keep the adapter with me even when I have a bit driver because it is very handy when you happen to carry a square shank Phillips LM :cheers: that specific bit card never leaves my sheath though :D

I was told it would be tight but that’s a relatively vague term like where or how. Do LM EOD plier heads have a literal little something different beyond the cap crimpers? Or is that the main reason why EOD wire cutters won’t properly fit a plier head without cap crimpers?
Post by: Poncho65 on October 28, 2021, 12:32:56 PM
I don't believe it has as much to do with the cap crimper as it does the size of the plier head maybe :dunno:
Sorry I couldn't be more help as I haven't really paid close attention to the replaceable cutters :facepalm:

To think I was *this* close to removing the smaller flat driver%u2026.only for it to become the MVP of today%u2019s task. It was a bit of %u201Cprecision%u201D work as the small flat was used to poke a clip thru its hole to remove the whole male port assembly.
The PH1-2 bit also bit very well into the very small screw that held 2 halves of a plastic housing together.
The medium screwdriver can be made even more versatile by slimming it down :tu:

Niteize stick on clip
Post by: Juan el Boricua on November 18, 2021, 02:03:08 AM
The least expensive, easiest, but what looks like a sturdy and effective way, is the NiteIze clip.
OT- Here, I'm getting ready "the team" for the December Rebar Challenge. :viking:
Post by: Zephon on November 18, 2021, 02:55:58 AM
Yeah, seems that I’m heading that direction with the Nite Ize clip. Weirdly enough, of all the Nite Ize products in the hardware in the malls, the HipClip is the one not available. I ended up ordering one (costs x2) online.

Hopefully the Nite Ize Clip does well for you, Zephon :salute: I have one on a BO Rebar that I bought (the clip was already on it) and it is holding well :cheers: I also added a Kick clip and Kick pivot to another one though and it has also worked out well :cheers:

Why is it always on the ‘tool side’?
Why not on the plier side?
Ergonomics?
Post by: Juan el Boricua on December 15, 2021, 12:02:35 PM
I'd guess that (at least, for me) it interferes with the holding as it gets in the way of the thumb and, having that much gap between tool and clip; its an invitation for it to get snagged at everything, the squared floating end would feel uncomfortable, and if it were to ride on the flat, it would end up protruding too much from the pocket which is unsightly and easier for it to fall off. But remember, this is just my opinion. :tu:
If you don't mind me asking, where did you got the black clip? :drool:

Anyway, I attached the clip this morning after breakfast. I removed the magnets I glued on for the long MUT flat/philips bit. I attached it on the saw side of the tool, where the LM branding is at. I also made the ‘locks’ the point of reference so the rectangular edge of the clip run continuous with the edge of the lock. That way the clip isn’t supposed to interfere with any round corners.
I’m also not too crazy of the Nite Ize brand so I took a 150 grit sandpaper to remove the logo on the clip, then finished it off with a 2,000 grit to match the texture of the Rebar.
The clip is bigger than expected and I think would even hold up a Super Tool 300 (as if you can clip carry that one).
Post by: Dutch_Tooler on December 16, 2021, 10:00:45 AM
I just might steal the idea for the Free clip I put on my SS handles/BO implements hybrid Rebar.

I read through a few Rebar scissors mod threads, but have not found the info I am looking for. I am thinking of adding a scissors to a standard Rebar. I don't like the serrated blade, which will most likely be the left out victim. My question is regarding thickness of the serrated blade and the scissors: are they the same or similar? If I ditch the serrated blade will there be enough space to drop a scissors in. Inner tools may have to be moved around, I understand this. For now I just want to make sure there will be enough space if the serrated blade goes.
Cheers, Pete
Post by: zoidberg on December 23, 2021, 08:13:42 AM
There should be enough washers or a lanyard ring in there you could remove to make space.
It doesn't have to be a perfect match, the pivot will give you some room too.
Post by: pietervn on December 23, 2021, 10:05:55 AM
Hey Pete, I think the s blade is approx 1.78mm and the wave scissors 2.48mm.
There should be enough washers or a lanyard ring in there you could remove to make space.
It doesn't have to be a perfect match, the pivot will give you some room too.
Thanks Zoid
I was not sure about the lanyard ring, thanks for that. I'll look for a tool in the new year, already have the scissors.

What are you going to place in the slot for the serrated blade? I’m curious if you really need to notch the lower part of the implement that would go where any of the blades are.

Time for me to join this club, if I may. I bought this Rebar last year intending to make it a survival kit component. Since I've worked out a deal on a Leatherman that may better fill that role, the Rebar will get carried with some regularity.

Just marked up where I wanted the clip to be.
Centre punched where the two holes for the screws needed to be.
Used a pillar drill to first drill through with a 1.5mm cobalt drill bit, then drilled through with a 1.8mm.
The tapped both holes with a 2-56 thread tap (Leatherman screw thread size).
I darkened the pocket clip by heating it with a blow torch, then quenching it in some some engine/diff oil several times.
Bit of loctite/threadlock on the screw threads and voila :climber:

No date codes on the Rebar
Post by: LoopCutter on January 24, 2023, 02:35:48 PM
No date codes on the Rebar
Another reason the Rebar is special!
Without date codes in the handle, it likely has a lifetime warranty🤪
By your sheath, yours is part of the Heritage Series, Introduced around 2018 (year). Going by copywrite date on the back of a package in lower right edge. [ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]

Thanks for your answer but my Rebar is came with a molle sheath. This is a medium heritage sheath left from my Charge hacked with velcro inside to make the Rebar fit perfectly.

Of all of them the Coyote Tan one looks the best :drool: but all Rebars still look really great to me as well :salute: :like::iagree: The Coyote Tan was a Cabela’s exclusive back several years. And was a good seller. The Rebar pulls it off the best of any LM tools,
Personally, the SS model looks good every day regardless th he setting.
IIRC, LM never offered the combo look, what I called the Tuxedo look.
The mod community does a great job producing their own two tone as well as adding tools to make the Rebar THEIR TOOL.

My Rebar was at full stretch here, so around six inches on the ground. It’s deeper in places.
More than enough for the UK to grind (or slide) to a halt.

Post by: LoopCutter on March 10, 2023, 05:11:40 PM
Crazy how that happens isn’t it?
It’s like they reproduce somehow.
My FIRST, a SS to supplement my ST300 to provide a smaller/lighter tool.
My SECOND, a Coyote Brown found at Cabela’s in Wyoming,MI because it was on sale, had gift card, and it was to darn pretty to pass up.
My THIRD, a BO, came as courtesy, of a member near Dayton, Ohio, who found BO models discontinued at a Cabela’s near him. He returned and bought remaining stock and provided to MTo members at a bargain. I know that besides me Poncho got one too.
My FOURTH, is a Heritage Rebar, still is in the package, another Cabela’s purchase with gift card obtained via motel points from work travel!😜 so no cost out of my pocket🙄

Great pic Poncho!IMHO, it is UNDER-APPRECIATED as it has been in the shadows of the WAVE 2nd gen, and many novice insist on One Hand knife tool access, with bit exchange and scissors.
Rebar is an underrated tool.
~
When in fact, tool function is more related to having the correct tool at the correct time.
Screw driving set, blades vs scissors, small form, compact function awl belongs to the REBAR, just as the PST did in the beginning 😄

I'm a huge Rebar fan too, as MT's are EDC's for me, it strikes a great balance between weight and usability. I prefer it my ST300 for that reason

Do the pivot and lock line up with the Rebar’s?

I would say you might have to modify it a bit to make it work but I could be wrong :salute:

Where are you guys getting BO Rebars? I think I need one.

Just buy a BO and SS model and do the color swap :pok: then take a Kick apart for the pivot and use a Kicl clip :whistle: :D

That's actually on my "someday" list already :facepalm:
then take a Kick apart for the pivot and use a Kicl clip :whistle: :D
That's the reason I have so many Kicks with clips - I would buy one to scavenge the clip, but I liked it too much to disassemble... so I would buy another to scavenge the clip. Well damn if I didn't like that one too. Now I have 6 Kicks with clips :ahhh

You don't have to leave them disassembled ;) the Rebar pivot goes right into the Kick and you have a Kick just without the clip hole :cheers:

No, I actually bought it from someone like that and they took the time to paint them in individually :D I had modded my stainless and black oxide Rebars at the time and wanted another black oxide one. This one looked nice and I got it for a good price :tu:
Thanks LC :hatsoff:

Has anyone found a substitute for the LM knurled bolt/screws on the plier end of the Rebar? Knifekits.com has torx head substitutes for tool end bolts.
I haven't really looked :think: you wanting to change it for aesthetic reason or other? :think: :cheers:

I'm swapping out knurled pivots for torx, so Rebar is easier to modify and common tools can be used to do the mods. Plus, it is irksome that LM used pivots that are VERY difficult to replace.
I'm in the process of creating custom brass bushings to use with shorter 3/16" diameter pivots for the plier end.

One can make a solid argument that the Rebar is the best EDC MT ever. It lacks the outside-opening tools of the Spirit, but is a little smaller and lighter on the belt or in the pocket.

The Two ST300 I have are perfect. The tools deploy smoothly and just a little KPL, improves the action more so.
A new Rebar requires a lot of fidget time. 😉
