Leatherman Rebar Pros
Size
At practically four inches, even without the belt pouch you can place this inside your pocket and carry it with you anywhere. What is impressive about the size is that even though it is small, compact and lightweight the material seems to withstand heavy duty work. Which is another thing that impressed us about the size is that although it is small, it won’t give you an inadequate grip and feel of a small tool. It actually is a super small tool but does not quite qualify as a mini multi-tool.
Physical Strength
We believe this is one of the strongest compact multitools available out in the market. At first glance, you will notice that the tool looks strong and sturdy. However, it is worth noting that most small tools will only give you that sturdy physical impression but once you use them, the screwdriver’s tip may easily chip rendering it useless, or the serrated knife doesn’t really work properly. Also, on many smaller multi-tools, the knives dull easily, meaning you’ll spend more time sharpening your blades. Using a small tool like this demands more force because of the size, but the Rebar is an exception to the rule providing a sturdy construction.
Design
The tool is designed to conveniently bring out the multi-tools with ease. You can easily access the toolset and can readily identify which is which. You won’t chip a fingernail when bringing out the tools. So, ladies, this might be a nice every day carry multi-tool for you. 
Lightweight
The weight is definitely comfortable in the pocket. Although it looks a bit bulgy when you are wearing denim pants and you place this inside the pocket, it still doesn’t feel that heavy. It only weighs 8.5 ounces which I think is a good weight for a small tool set.
Nylon belt pouch
This accessory comes with the purchase which I think is a great companion for the multi-tool. I like the sleek look of the pouch which lets you easily get the Rebar when you are working. It fits perfectly in the pouch and looks great when attached to your belt.
Performance of the small tools
This is actually a monster tool! The reliability is quite amazing. The wire cutters are sharp and the pliers can turn knots and bolts which have been rusting for quite some time. We especially like the serrated knife which lets me slice through items with ease. I think it is one of my favorite tool in this set.
Cons
No Scissors – Some users may prefer to have a pair of scissors in their multi-tool, and if so, the Rebar isn’t for you. Having no scissors should not necessarily be viewed as a design flaw but merely as a design choice. The Leatherman Rebar is smaller and more lightweight than most other Leatherman models out there, so some features have been eliminated to achieve those measures. Leatherman certainly offers several products in their multi-tool lineup that come equipped with scissors, such as the Surge.
No Spring-Action Pliers – Like having no scissors, having pliers that are not spring-action is purely a design choice, but a choice that you have to make when searching for the right multi-tool for you. If it is a high priority to have spring-action pliers, then you may want to consider one of these Leatherman multi-tools; Wingman, Sidekick, OHT or the Squirt PS4.
Who Should Buy the Rebar?
It is a recommended multitool for both men and women who are looking for a smaller tool to keep in their toolbox, in the car, their kitchen drawers or backpacks. This is a better replacement for the Swiss Army Knife that we have all been familiar with. Everyone should have this in almost any part of the house for small tinkering here and there.
This is recommended for the housewife who needs a set of tools in her kitchen but does not really need or want a large set of tools. This can be a great companion for work and it is best to keep a multi-tool like this in your car.
Why Buy The Leatherman Rebar
With its functionality and performance, this is actually a great buy for its price. The cutters are excellent, the pliers are sturdy and easy to grip during turns. The small multi-tools are quite amazing. This is definitely a great buy.
There are other multi-tool sets available on the market. This one is definitely to be considered as a super tool because of the reliability of the small tools without having the fear that the screwdriver might bend anytime. The stainless steel material is quite reliable in making the product strong to withhold friction.
