Leatherman Rebar Review

In a product category almost completely dominated by one manufacturer, Leatherman products are largely competing against their siblings. In this way, for absolute function, the Leatherman Charge TTI is better overall, the Leatherman Wingman is a better value, and the Leatherman Squirt PS4 is far smaller. Our awards reflect this. The only non-Leatherman award winner in our review is the SOG PowerAssist Multi-tool S66. In many ways, the Rebar is comparable to the SOG. In a category of practical, working tools, they are both purpose built work horses, as compared to the competition. They have each emphasized the pliers in their design, including the other tools almost incidentally. The Rebar stands out for its user-replaceable wire cutters, while the SOG is unique for the mechanical advantage linkage in the pliers. Comparing these two directly, the SOG is marginally more functional and burlier, while the Rebar is quite a bit smaller. If you like the no holds barred design of the SOG, but want something smaller, check out the Rebar.
