Product Information
Full details
The Leatherman Rebar in Heathered Cranberry is designed for professionals and DIY enthusiasts who require a heavy-duty, compact multi-tool that pays homage to the classic PST design. Featuring 17 essential tools housed within a durable, Cerakote-protected frame, it provides exceptional utility for on-site repairs and home projects; however, it lacks the one-handed opening mechanisms found in some of Leatherman’s more modern, tactical-focused models.

FAQs
Does the Rebar have a pocket clip?
No, the classic design of the Rebar relies on its compact size for pocket carry or use with a sheath.
Can I replace the knife blade?
The knife blade is integrated into the handle assembly and is not designed to be user-replaceable, though it can be sharpened.
Is the tool dishwasher safe?
No, never put your multi-tool in the dishwasher as high heat and detergents can damage the coating and internal components.
What is the warranty period?
The Leatherman Rebar is covered by a 25-year warranty against defects in materials or workmanship.
How do I sharpen the blades?
You can use a standard pull-through sharpener or a sharpening stone at a 20-25 degree angle.
Troubleshooting
Tools are difficult to deploy
Debris may be stuck in the pivot area. Clean with compressed air or warm soapy water and apply a small amount of lubricant.
Locking mechanism feels sticky
Clean the locking spring area with a brush to remove lint or pocket residue, then lightly oil.
Wire cutters aren't cutting clean
Check if the replaceable wire cutter blades are dull or chipped. If they are, purchase the compatible replacement kit to restore performance.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Extremely durable Cerakote finish resists wear and corrosion
- All tools lock for maximum safety during operation
- Replaceable cutters significantly extend the life of the tool
- Compact 4-inch footprint is easy to carry
- Backed by a comprehensive 25-year warranty
Cons
- Requires two hands to open, which may be slower than modern designs
- No external access for blades; tools must be retrieved from inside the handle
- The specialized finish may show scratches differently than raw stainless steel
Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Rebar requires no complex setup; simply unfold the handles to access the internal tools. To maintain the tool, ensure the pivot points remain clean of debris, especially after working in sandy or muddy conditions. A light application of machine oil on the pivot points once every few months will keep the opening action smooth. For the Cerakote finish, use a soft cloth and mild soap to wipe away grime. Avoid using harsh chemical solvents that could potentially degrade the surface coating. The replaceable cutters can be swapped out using a standard Torx wrench if they become chipped or dull after extensive use.
