LEATHERMAN, Rebar Multitool with Premium Replaceable Wire Cutters and Saw, Coyote Tan

The consensus

What reviewers found

Synthesized across the trust-weighted source mix below.

Across the reviewers we read, the Leatherman Rebar is the rugged, no-frills full-locking tool that owners trust for the long haul. A high-trust r/multitools thread highlights its compact, low-snag closed profile and strong locking system, while r/Leatherman users call it 'the tankiest' of comparable tools, citing a noticeable lack of flex in the arms under pressure. Multiple long-term owners describe it as 'lightweight and extremely durable,' and Walmart verified-purchase reviews echo a durable metal build and easy carry.

What reviewers liked

  • Described as the 'tankiest' / most rigid of comparable Leathermans
  • 17 all-locking tools with replaceable wire cutters
  • Compact, lightweight, low-snag closed profile
  • Strong verified-purchase track record

Where it falls short

  • Hard-wire cutting is a repeatedly cited weak spot
  • Fewer convenience tools than Wave+/Charge
  • No one-hand-opening outside blade like the Wave family
  • Basic feature set may feel sparse to power users

Across the reviewers we read, the Leatherman Rebar is the rugged, no-frills full-locking tool that owners trust for the long haul. A high-trust r/multitools thread highlights its compact, low-snag closed profile and strong locking system, while r/Leatherman users call it 'the tankiest' of comparable tools, citing a noticeable lack of flex in the arms under pressure. Multiple long-term owners describe it as 'lightweight and extremely durable,' and Walmart verified-purchase reviews echo a durable metal build and easy carry.

The most specific and repeated criticism, surfaced directly in r/Leatherman, concerns the wire cutters: 'the little gap at the bottom of the wire cutters makes them suck at cutting hard wire.' That's an important caveat for electricians and anyone cutting harder material. Beyond that, the 17 all-locking tools and replaceable cutter blades (154CM steel per a retailer listing) draw broad approval.

For a buyer who wants a simpler, tougher Leatherman without the premium price of the Charge, the consensus lands the Rebar as a dependable durability pick—just with a known weakness on hard-wire cutting.
