New Rebar Colors Coming
on: January 04, 2025, 10:21:25 PM
Got an Insider Email that says they'll be previewing new Rebar colors at the end of the month. Do y'awl think they'll be the same ones we got for the Bond? I wonder if it'll get any other updates like the new blade on the Bond.

   I had to look twice to see if that was BPRoberts.  Another member is using the same avatar.  I looked at the Bond colors, and didn't see anything that I liked.  The different colored sheath was okay.  Keep us posted on the new blade idea if it happens.  Best wishes.  G

 :iagree:   

REBAR looks pretty good in Stainless!  And awl business in Coyote, and the Black Oxide is like “i was never here”
If I start and end the day above ground, it is a good day!

Hope yours is as good!

Hmmm...I am not big on the multi-color thing. I do like BO and the regular stainless options, though.

I've never loved Coyote or BO, and the simple stainless is definitely the "canonical" color for the Rebar (and any of the other "classic" line tools) in my mind. I don't really love the weird half/half colors on the Bonds, but I'd consider it in the two tone blue "Nightshade" from the Skeletool CX.

I would rather Leatherman make a newer tool than another colour variant...and this is coming from a guy who will attempt to buy colour variations for his collection.  :facepalm:

Maybe we'll get the package opener in there, instead of the thick washer and the lanyard ring. Or the Bond pocket clip! :ahhh

I am suspecting the color options is a marketing gambit.

To attract the younger early twenties buyers who are not attracted to THIER father’s tools.

And, to the collectors. 😉

LM has done it before, I have a WAVE in ORANGE, a Cabela’s exclusive.  Unfortunately the finish is brittle and chips.    LM thinks they have a new durable finish and is expanding options.

I will say, the SIGNAL and SKELETOOLS colors do enhance those two tools IMHO!😉.  I was tempted to add a Signal last year for a challenge, but my color chosen was no longer listed🥲
If I start and end the day above ground, it is a good day!

Hope yours is as good!

  I am a little surprised that friend Gordon will have anything to do with the colored handles.  Remembering how he tried two of them and broke both when he just opened a tool in each case.  Might not be a correlation, but it makes you wonder.  Best wishes.  G

I liked the Bond color of orange hue, yet bought for the new blade style actually.

I must admit I was extremely disappointed when the handle broke on each at the same point on both BONDs.

Finally bought the SS to get the 2nd gen blade, arrive last night (SATURDAY). And has not broken yet.

My thought is the color finish is a heated process and weakens the handle tool detent!
If I start and end the day above ground, it is a good day!

Hope yours is as good!

I'd love to see the Rebar get the Bond clip mount points (or just gimme an old school PST style lanyard). Internal lanyard rings have have awlways struck me as a massive waste of a slot, and not really that great way to attach the tool anyway.
