The Leatherman Rebar is the modern reinterpretation of Tim Leatherman's original 1983 PST design and the anchor of Leatherman's Heritage line. When the PST launched, it established the pliers-based multi-tool category as a distinct tool type. The Rebar updates that same box-body, sloped-neck architecture with locking tools, replaceable wire cutters, and modern Cerakote finishes while preserving the proportions that made the original work. DLT carries the Rebar across all current colorways.
The Rebar runs 17 integrated tools in a 4-inch closed frame weighing 6.7 ounces. The tool set includes needlenose and regular pliers, replaceable wire and hard-wire cutters, electrical crimper, wire stripper, two 420HC blades, saw, wood and metal file, awl with thread loop, can and bottle opener, inch and centimeter rulers, and small, medium, and large screwdrivers. Every feature except the plier head locks when deployed. The Rebar was the first 4-inch Leatherman to carry replaceable wire cutters, a feature previously reserved for the larger Super Tool platform.
The Rebar runs two 420HC stainless steel blades: a 2.9-inch plain edge drop point and a fully serrated secondary blade for rope and fibrous materials. 420HC sharpens easily and performs reliably across the range of cutting work this tool sees. The replaceable wire cutters are 154CM, which gives the cutters a harder edge and longer service life against wire, nails, and mixed-material tasks. When they eventually wear, the cutters swap rather than forcing you into a new tool.
DLT stocks the Rebar in hand-finished Cerakote in Mossy Slate, Heathered Cranberry, Burnt Sienna, and Coyote Tan, along with the black and stainless steel finishes. Cerakote adds ceramic-grade wear, corrosion, and abrasion resistance without changing the tool's footprint. The Rebar is a solid pick for tradesmen, DIY users, hunters, and anyone who wants the feature set of a Wave Plus in a lighter, more compact footprint without scissors. Pair it with a nylon, leather, or Molle sheath from the Leatherman Sheaths & Accessories category.
