Pros & Cons
Pros
Leatherman rebar comes with a great sheath that will snap on your belt or molle straps. This is the first leatherman that i have gotten. It fits perfectly on my belt and until i need it, i virtually forget it’s there. The lanyard ring that is stowed w... Read More
It takes some getting used to and is not a problem for me. It makes the tool more streamlined and comfortable to carry. It’s not too heavy or bulky because of that. Tools are durable and it looks phenomenal.
The quality is impeccable. Purchased for my sons graduation from marine bootcamp. Overall good product though.
Cons
The 'black metal' surface was marred with scuff marks and scratches. The leatherman has a lifetime guarantee and it did not even last for two years. Dozens of tiny machine marks and gouges in the metal for $59.
My gerber tools open outward with the pliers closed. I find it precarious to close the stiff pliers with a knife blade sticking out of it.

Awesome tool to have on hand and you can’t beat the lifetime warranty

I have seen many people breaking these working construction and this is not a heavy duty tool.
After just using for about 3 weeks, the bigger flat screwdriver broke with light use.
Price
Overall the best multi tool under $100.
I bought a clone of the leatherman wave and honestly that thing is a beast and i would highly recommend it to anybody at the pr... Read More
An extra 9-10 bucks for a protection plan you don't need is just giving money away.
Packaging/appearance
Came with a light coat of oil on it.
As has been the case for me with other amazon tools, my rebar came in a scuffed-up box that had obviously been opened previously.
Wished to have it out of the box to use it to open the box!
Competitiveness
The multitool is a fantastic addition to my toolkit, and it lives up to the stellar reputation of the leatherman brand.
I suspect that amazon is often the destination for returned or defective products, even with legitimate brands like leatherman ... Read More
I'd recommend bladehq, the leatherman website, or your local knife shop instead for a more reliable product.
Yes, there are other models (totally different tool sets) with upgraded steels but you should not have to buy an upgraded/expen... Read More

It may open easier with a substantial amount of use but ive opened and closed the thing 100 times and its still really stiff

I cant count how many times ive pinched my hand trying to close this thing up

This is not a 1 handed tool nor would someone who has weaker hands be able to operate it

Also you basically have to open it all the way up to get any other tools out
