Performance
The Rebar puts function over flash. Needlenose pliers deploy fast with replaceable wire cutters—a rare feature in a compact multitool. All tools lock from the back of the handles, so nothing folds when you're torquing down.
Pros
- Replaceable wire cutters and hard-wire cutters—sharpen or swap them when they dull
- 17 tools including 420HC blades, saw, file, screwdrivers, and electrical crimper
- All tools lock except pliers—safe to use under load without accidental closure
- Compact 4-inch frame at 6.7 ounces—light enough for daily carry, tough enough for heavy use
- 25-year warranty from Leatherman—made in USA with proven reliability
Cons
- All tools are inside-accessible only—you have to deploy pliers first to reach other tools
- No scissors—notable omission for everyday tasks

Final Thoughts
The Leatherman Rebar is a workhorse multitool that prioritizes utility over convenience. Built for people who use their tools hard—electricians, mechanics, campers who need pliers more than tweezers. No outside blade access, no frills. Just solid construction and replaceable cutters that mean this tool lasts decades, not years.
More Precision. More Function.
Every tool we review moves with purpose. Sharp, minimal, built to last — gear that earns its place in your kit. No trends, no noise. Just precision instruments for those who understand that less is more, and what you carry defines how you move.
