The Rebar is one of the most popular tools from leatherman, and after carrying a wave for several years, i bought one too!
But to see what makes it so popular, i am challenging myself (and you!) to wear it for 30 days, and try to use every tool of it as much as possible to get the jobs done.
This challenge will be run using standard challenge rules, enriched for goodness: (almost shameless copy form the september storm)
1. Carry a Rebar for 30-days. It doesn’t have to be the same Rebar everyday, but it has to be a real Leatherman Rebar.
Modded Rebars welcome. Cheap copies, not so much.
2. Try to use every tool in the Rebar’s ample tool set at least once. Let’s test the Rebar and it’s bits a bit.
3. Post a fresh photo of your Rebar every day. Action photos appreciated, awlways.
4. Post up insights, memories, and Rebar stories as you are able.
How are those wire cutters holding up? How often does that knife need resharpening? Will that saw really cut through a rock ?
5. A final summary at the end of the challenge is always appreciated. How does the Rebar stack up against your beloved Spirit or Surge or Wave or……nail clippers? Give the MTo community an honest and frank assessment. Did the Rebar live up to it’s popular reputation?
The challenge starts 01 October 2018, local time, and will wrap up 30 October 2018.
Because the challenge is expected to involve a large number of MTo members, to make it easier on the mods to award the new badges en masse, all participants must start 01 october and finish 30 october. (That’s why we’re announcing the challenge well in advance.)
With so many Rebar fans here, and a lovely early Fall, (or summer for those who are upside down) start time, I think we can get a big turn out for this challenge. This could be one of the most epic challenges ever.
So get your Rebars out, get ‘em cleaned up, get ‘em oiled up, get ‘em sharpened up!
Lets get Re-Barred!

I truly hope after the september storm wave challenge, many of you will accompany me in my challenge, i am very curious how the rebar will hold up against my beloved wave, that i have been carrying for many years now.
As for myself it will become a big challenge to keep up and keep taking posting pictures during the last week of october, but i am tryting to keep the reason therefore a bit of a secret for a surpirse Hopefully it will work out
As an early starter, ill post my current rebar set-up that i will be carrying during october.

I carry my modded rebar everyday already as it is :whistle: :rofl:
For me it is a shame that it will be in october as I will be on a business trip for 10 days in october, where I likely won't have internet access for the most part.
-
@MMR , No problem with that, you can always take the picture and post m later, as soon as you will have internet again. as long as you keep m daily numbered that won't be such a problem i suppose. There was a guy in the september storm too who went on a hike for a few days, and posted when he could again.
I also had 2 very very busy days last month i took a pic o those days but had no more time to make a posting that day, but did that as soon as possible the next day.
-
Hmm im wondering can i do Spirit and Rebar challenge at same time?

Should be interesting since you will be going head to head with he spirit challenge :popcorn:

Don’t have a Rebar, but I’ll definitely be watching
:popcorn:
Excited to see peoples opinions about the Rebar after 30 days with the Wave
:tu:

I could try do both challnge simultaneously, id love to carry 2 tools at same time and test both on same job and see perform better

I do recall reading that one challenge at a time will be awarded for the period, yet you can participate in both.
I already have a 30 day REBAR badge, learning during that time the REBAR is best suited to my needs.
Followed a previous Spirit challenge, and really fell for SteveC's black tool and pictures shared by all, yet could not justified buying one when I enjoyed the Rebar and ST300 and WAVE for my carry needs.
The REBAR challenge is worth doing if you have a REBAR and have not tested it in your world's activities.
I did and lead me to have these 3, plus a Heritage model still in package. The SS was the challenge EDC.

I would have loved to do this challenge but I'd already signed up for the Spirit challenge..... :-[

Having done the Spirit challenge I give the nod to the Rebar as being a better all around tool.
Having also done Swisstool, Surge, Spirit, Rebar and now Wave Challenges almost back to back I find it interesting we are on such dirrerent sides of the spectrum Steve. I found the the Rebar (and the Wave for that matter) a good, capable tool, but am very excited to be going back to the Spirit. The OG Wave stared me on my multi tool journey and for that it will always hold a special place, For me though the Swisstool family have captivated my my heart as MTs go. I continue to try other tools in order to better understand the preferances of others and broaden my horizons (the Surge comes in very close to my ST's). For me the upcoming Spirit Challenge will be almost like getting to spend a month at Disney World for free. Don't get me wrong there are two things about the Swisstool family that Vic' realy should look into. First a bit driver system and secondly one hand opening of the knife blades. The Surge and Wave slaughter Vic on both of those, and it was the OHO that kept me coming back to the Wave even after I broke the first two. It was the third broken Wave that made me move on. I realy was affraid I wouldn't like the Vic's offering for the very reason of no OHO but well I've been carring one form or another now for over 20 years. For me it wasn't that bad learning to adjust to the nail nicks. To be honest the "ALL outside opening tools" is the main thing that keeps me coming back. The quality of the Leathermans is not a problem for me especialy with the newer generations of the Wave (they beefed up the material around the Liner locks on the handles. That's were all three of my OG's broke). I just find accessing the inside tools "fiddley" for lack of a better term to describe opening the pliars when I need scissors or a screw driver etc...
Well I guess I should probably stop rambling now. Please forgive me I went to the Doctor today for a throat/chest infection and am a little high on meds right now. realy wish I could sleep, but maybe that too is over-rated. :dunno:
-
Well Antti, i am very interested in how the spirit holds up to a rebar, especially for the price difference, a rebar is definately a significant bit cheaper over here.(the spirit is almost 25% more expensive than a rebar here afaik)
but it is good to be not alone in my journey, so i made a little list already.
if you want to add yourselves, please copy the list and add yourselves to it :)

Lan Wolf,
Please don't take my rambling the wrong way. You are about to undertake a very worthy journey with an equally worthy companion. The Rebar is a very capable tool and dose offer some options that no SwissTool comes close to. Something I would have never admitted to if I had not done the challenge myself.
Good Journey My friends... :hatsoff:
I'll be watching. :popcorn:
:salute: :salute:

Not a bad challenge. I have always been a Wave man and seldom carried the Rebar . This is mainly because I got my first Wave in '98 so by the time the Rebar came out the Wave and tools were second nature to my hands.
I hopefully will get my first forum badge for the Wave challenge and I thought it would look lonely so adding a second straight away should be good .
Bring on October !! Octoberfest time or should that be Rebar-fest time ?
:multi:
:cheers:

@Douglas,
i had not yet seen your post before i posted, i was little slow typing due other acivities requiring my attention too.
As for the one hand opening tools, i can agree that i like that very much on the wave too, and my OHT even has OHT pliers
But ... it makes tools a bit bigger, and in some occasions oho tools are not allowed to be carried or it is jsut better not to.
I really like the smaller format of the Rebar, and i want to see if i can get by with it in stead of my Wave.
But i also stopped carrieing a seperate knife when i got my wave, beacuse it coud deploy a knife as easy as.
I travel to germany serveral times a year, and in some ocasions i was thankful i did not forget to leave the wave at home.
(when i went to visit the Reichstag in Berlin a few years back, i was held by 4 security guards, beacuse the alarm went off,
i forgot to take a package of tobaco out of my jeans backpocket! If i had carried a wave that time, i might have been arrested too)
@Pauldmmwc
Well for sure, i hope it wil be a Fest carrying and using the Rebar!
but wouldnt carry a rebar to an octoberfest...
Iĺl count you in !

I find it truely a sad state of afairs that so many good upstanding poeple must suffer for the irresonsibility of a few. The Challenge so many on this forum face is completly forign to me. Or laws here do differ from state to state and even city to city. For the most part most people look stangely at man that dose not at least carry a slip joint pocket knife. Locking blade OHO folders may be even more common. Multi tools are every where and often a great way to start up conversation with a stranger, soon to be friend. I hope the Rebar suits your needs well. I pray also that some day a knife will once again be seen and used universally as a tool. Not a weapon used by a few that ruin lifes simple pleasure for the rest of us.

That Black and Tan Rebar should be regarded as pornographic material.....if there even is any such thing as eyes having an orgasm (eyegasm?) ..mine just had one after seeing that Black and Tan Rebar!

Im also waiting to see how Rebar vs Spirit RT goes against each others. Reason im doing Spirot and Rebar challenge simultaneously is that i wanna carry multiple tool what i have learned on Wave challenge. One tool is enough for someone but i really need diffrent tools on diffrent jobs

Without intending to hijack this thread...Forgive my ignorance, LanWolf, but I am puzzled as to why one would be held at Reichstag for having a package of tobacco in one's pocket? Was the packaging itself of a semi-metallic nature and therefore set off the alarm? Are there smell sensors for anything that can burn? Or are they checking for tobacco now as well?
Like Douglas, I was about to lament the knife restrictions you encounter, but then was hit by the tobacco remark and thought, what could be less innocuous as that.
I admit we are fortunate here. Yes we often are restricted, for example, there is a no weapons including knives rule when going to the Statue of Liberty, schools, and places like that. However, a tradesman can leave the job site to go to lunch without having to remove his toolbelt and knives. I can carry a Leatherman Rebar almost anywhere I want, with the above exceptions in mind.
A Buck 110 in a leather sheath would certainly be questioned at work (I work in a High School), but I quietly keep a Swiss army knife in my pocket and have never been questioned with a Leatherman PSTII or Rebar in a sheath on my belt. I just don't push it, and I make sure there are no one-hand open blades on my person. But out on the street, swiss army and Leatherman are a full GO here.
Good luck with the Rebar challenge. I got mine just over a year ago and I haven't stopped carrying it yet. Perfect size to tool ratio and it does not frighten anyone with one hand open blades.
It would take something very special indeed to ween me off of the Leatherman Rebar!
-
@ThundahBeagle
I really have no clue what set off the security gate alarm, but i suppose there can be 2 options:
- the package contained something that is metallic (most likely, altough is was not a package of cigarettes with its metallic foil, but regular tobacco for rolling your own )
- there is a check on density of things like in a luggage X-ray, and of course tobaco has a different density(also moistureness) than anything on a human body.
(after i handed the tobaco to a guard and went through the gate again it did not sound again, and i was given back the tobaco)

I am so SORRY :whistle: :rofl:
It is a Coyote Brown, cerakote finish that is now listed on LM's web site. But I found mine at a Cabela's a year ago at a reasonable discount, one I could not walk away from here and still be a MTO member. Also found a Style in similar finish.
In the future I made need to include a Warning when including a picture. Be careful as I recall Poncho also has one. :multi: :salute: :woohoo: :woohoo:

I'd like to join, but there are two reasons I won't be. 1. I recently did a Rebar challenge. 2. I really need to get my Surge back on my belt after the Rebar and Wave(currently) challenges. :ahhh
I will be watching to see how it goes though and hope anyone who joins in has a good experience. :popcorn:
-
Yes.... unfortunately I'm going to have to follow this one from the sidelines since I signed up for the Spirit Challenge. My Rebar goes with me almost everywhere, including at work. I actually prefer the Philips screwdriver and pliers on the Rebar to the Vic's.

Day 1:
Today i used the rebar to dismantle an old security cam, to salvage some usefull parts.
The awl was used to pry away the feet, and the screwdriver extension was used to remove the screws. None of the existing screwdrivers could do the job.

HI Team
I will give this challenge a go as well.
I am really a Wave man having had an EDC Wave since 1998 .
The Rebar I have is new as it was one from the collection and has never been used.
Lets see how this month goes then. Maybe I can become a convert.
First pic is boring, new and unused.

How hard is the scissors mod? I have an old pair laying around somewhere. I don’t have the disassembly tool though. When is the next order of those?

I bought the knifeless Rebar, so I’m not sure as far the mod goes. I’m sure someone on here as done it.
Good luck :cheers:

Easy-peasy, really, and makes the Rebar an almost perfect standalone MT! :multi:
Also, good luck to everyone taking part in the challenge!

DAY 3
This morning I gave the Rebars PE a quick strop. I try to do this several times a week, depending on usage.

Also used the large flat head for several small jobs.

Day 5/30
Rebar was today used outside, it did get dirty and muddy allover and it took time to wash all away.
SE blade, PE blade, phillips and file was used today.
Noticed that some tools are annoying to open when gloves on, file was easiest to open with wet gloves.

Day 5:
I received some rg316 to make some balun.
The plier was used to squish the tie-wrap, and the cutters cut the rg316 it like butter.
Cutters seem better than the wave’s origial cutters.

DAY 6
Today we had our kennel clubs annual dog show. As I was setting up my 10 by 10 canopy tent, one of the top support arms broke. The Rebar helped remove the broken arm, so I could temporarily rig it up to work for today.
Used the pliers, phillips, and small flat head to get it done. It was one of those days I was thrilled to have a MT on me. Rebar worked perfect.

Hell gang
Am back after 2 long days on the road with no PCs or tablets which is quiet pleasant really.
Here are my day 7 and 8 pics by way of a catch up if that is permitted in the rules.
PIc day 7 was easy as - opening a package with new ipod battery. Last one does not work so good after a 45 minute session for the Ipod in the washing machine. Ipod works grand if you keep the power plugged in.
Pic day 8 - easier to cut out the old boot laces than un-threading.

Used Rebar today to repair my car, i changed my cars radiators hose today on the road. It was raining and started to become dark, i drived towards home u til i see that my heat is running suddenly extremly high. I instanly knew that radiator hose was gone, luckily i boughted yesterday new hose and fluids to it , i just wished that it would lasted bit longer. I opened hose clamps with large flathead and cutted rest of hose with blade. Installed new hose and hose clamps, putted new fluids and pumped air out system and continued my journey to home.
Sadly my phones camera suck at dark so no action pics of it

Hello Gang
I have fallen by the wayside with this challenge. My Rebar has indeed been my EDC and well used but I have not been taking pics so sadly I have fallen off the bus. I have been at conference and had other travel plans get in the way
I will have to try the next challenge.
The Rebar is a great tool but after having had a Wave as my EDC for 20 years I find the Rebar not as comfortable and the outside tools are definitely much better. I also know where the tools are on the Wave without having to look really.
I will carry on with the REbar for the month and keep an eye on this thread.
Thanks.
:cheers:

Due to a minor dog mess on the carpet in my 14yr old daughters closet, the Rebar handled all tasks to replace it.
Used the Phillips to pull the threshold, and the serrated blade to cut the new piece to size. No issues.

Yes it is. I too, like to use both the PE and SE on my Rebar's with the handle unfolded, but I find it is better balanced with the plier head folded into the extended handle, away from the blade.
I reviewed the past few days, you folks are doing great.
:oops:I trimmed my thumb and finger nails a tad short, having trouble deploying the file and saw blades on my BO Rebar :facepalm:
I do find the AWL is useful for many tasks and after adding a bit more of an edge to the can opener, it does handle blister packs much better. :tu:
Carry on :tu:

Rebar helped me to replace fuses on my car.
After this challenge im not sure do i keep this tool on my edc, dont get me wrong but i think Rebar is not good to use when gloves on. Only pliers and blades are easy to use when gloves are on, all other tools just cant be reached easily especially saw side.
Im gonna replace my Rebar with its big brother ST300

DAY 28 AND 29
I have no action shots for these 2 days. I’ve been out hunting and camping. I did use the Rebar for multiple jobs through out the 2 days.
I used the PE blade for all my food opening, the pliers for grabbing the pot of boiling water off the fire for my coffee, and then serrated blade cut a strap off my pack that was dangling and driving me crazy. The Saw came in handy for clearing some small stuff where we made camp.
I usually carry a Mora and a silky for all camp tasks, but the Rebar did just fine this go around.

Technically october has one more day, So maybe watch for tormorrows post...
Halloween...
My thoughts on the rebar :
This month i had a lot going on with the wedding, had a lot less technical things to fix, this might color my opinion on the rebar a little.
I find it a good companion, capable of its tasks. I doubt the file is as good as the waves, and i certainly appriciate the awl.
Blade wise, i do like the PE blade more on the rebar than the SE blade. The SE blade Just does not cut as well as the SE blade on my wave. PE was better after i sharpened it myself. I have no experience in sharpening the SE blades.
What was truly missed, were scissors, on the wave they were used freqently. I tried to accomplish those things with the PE blade but that was tricky sometimes. Many times my little victorinox sd had to step in there.
I might add scissors to the rebar, but i also do not want to lose the lanyard hole.
I Will keep the rebar, but as i intended, in the car or work bag when carrying my Skeletool or in case oho blades are prohibited.
It is just not the tool to replace my trusty wave on my side.

My toughts on Rebar is that this is good but its lacking scissors and tools are bit akward to open with gloves. Its good tool if dont wanna carry heavy tool.

Did people apply and not get their badges or did they not bother to apply ?

I never saw the apply for badges but sometimes when several people are in a challenge they just get them awarded :think: that may be what the ones in this challenge thought perhaps :dunno:
-
I did apply, and even with the comment that there were more people involved in the Challenge.
I was awarded the badge, but had not seen if others had gotten their badges.

I think in the future it would be better if people would apply individually with a link to their 30th day post . That way it's easier for us to confirm and no one gets left out.....win win :tu:
