My four- Victorinox Swisstool Spirit X Leatherman Wave Leatherman Wingman (Modified)* Leatherman Style *I modified the Wingman, adding the straight blade (replacing the partially serrated blade) and the serrated knife (replacing the package opener) from the Sidekick. I use the scissors more often than a saw.

I like a multi-tool that allows me to fix the copier at work in the mornings, and maybe tactically knife fight punks in the evenings. The pliers are handy for titty twisters and moderate infliction of pain once said punk is down. Occasionally I may clip their toe nails if they are remorseful.

Thanks for informing us about this useful range of tools. My son has long-carried a full-size multi-tool. I learned a lot more when Zach Fowler wisely included a self-modified multi-tool in his challenge to win 'Alone 3.' As a backpacker prior to the multi-tool era, I understood the value of pliers that could also 'wrench' nuts as needed and serve as pot-lifters. For light camping, these tools can save a lot of weight and volume and bring a lot of functionality along.

I've had the rebar for the last three years. I work in a Lumber yard and I've used each tool except the awl. At least npt for its intended purpose. I've used it to pull out staples saw wood down to size and even the screw drivers. hasn't let me down yet. best multi tool I have. I might pick up the squirter I need a new replacement knife for my keys. that's about the right size as well. thanks for the review.

I have the leatherman wingman which I misplaced for a few months, ordered a Rebar, and like 2 days before the rebar arrived I found the damn wingman, but I dont regret getting the rebar, has lived up the everything I've had to use it for like cutting Cyclone Fence(I was fixing my fence and then my neighbors fence by that time) I probably use it the most when I'm doing yard work, cutting the trimmer line and detangling when it gets jammed up from all the creeper vines that never cease to exist. Its definitely my fav EDC multi-tool. The wingman now resides in a kitchen drawer alongside other "emergency" tools.

In my opinion, the four multi-tools I recommend is one of each categories: keychain-size, pocket-size, full-size, and heavy-duty. The different size categories allow for maximum flexibility and capabilities in use for a wide spectrum of situations, depending on the tool you use. I prefer a multi-tool that embodies a pocket tool chest with the most capabilities, so my four will be the Leatherman Squirt PS4, Juice Xe6, Charge TTi, and Surge.

As my larger tools all have pliers my keyring tool is always the Micro over the Squirt. I find that fold out scissors are always pants though I have never tried Letherman ones. I want full sprung decent scissors on at least one of my tools and the keyring makes sense as I can go to my bag for heavy duty.

For past 5-6 years i've carried between the leatherman squirt p4 and the rev. Usually the rev. Looks like the rev is very similar to the sidekick. 5.9oz vs the 7 oz sidekick, but the sidekick has that extra outer saw and the rev has the inner package opener vs the short serrated blade on the sidekick. That's the only thing i wish the rev had is some serrated blade for rope cutting. But I do love the rev's outer non serrated blade and its low weight. I also have a supertool and a surge that I keep in vehicles.

Most cruise lines (carnival Corp, etc) allow knives up to 4 inches to be brought onboard. And if youre a diver and have a dive knife that's larger you can check it with the purser and they will let you have it when you leave the ship for your diving excursion, just an FYI. I have the Rebar and absolutely love it. I really enjoy watching your videos BTW, keep up the good work!

If you wear glasses and you need a small flathead, you like outdoors camping and bushcraft, you want an awl and a saw and a pair of good scissors and some tweezers thrown in, and you want it all to be lightweight and versatile then I know the perfect combo..... LEATHERMAN REBAR + LEATHERMAN MICRA These 2 multi tools when used together are awesome, they are both good for different tasks and the weight is still kept at a minimal. (SAW - BLADE - SERRATED BLADE - MINI BLADE - FILE - FLATHEADS micro, small, medium, large - 3D PHILLIPS DRIVER - AWL/REAMER - SCISSORS - TWEEZERS - BOTTLE OPENER - CAN OPENER - LANYARD RINGS - PLIERS WITH REPLACEABLE TEETH - RULERS - NAIL FILE AND CLEANER)

Good video as always...have you ever had a look at the the Ganzo G302B? Chinese made multi-tool...screwdriver bit's changeable wire cutters...looks well made, though I don't own one. Only thing people talk badly about it is the exposed spring, but to me...if you lose the spring, the tool still works just as good...just doesn't spring open...which a lot of multi-tools don't have anyway. All the tools lock open...and the bit system works with normal bits without having to buy an adaptor. And the bit kit comes with it for under $45 USD with free shipping from gearbest. Has awl with threading hole, straight blade knife, serrated blade knife, saw, can opener, bottle opener, wire stripper, scissors, small slotted screwdriver, wire cutter, needle nose and regular pliers, lanyard hole, 11 bits and bit adaptor, and a pretty descent semi solid belt pouch that looks better than the gerber and leatherman pouches that come with....and the best part, under $38 USD. check it out here: www.gearbest.com/survival-emergency-gear/pp_67303.html , but if you get one, get it here, as it's about $7.50 cheaper...

top 4 you recommend... mp600 with removable carbide cutters... "you can rotate them if they warp or dull".... never used this one have you... admit it, you maybe cut a piece of copper wire and that's it... those are carbide, they don't "warp" they shatter. and they shatter when cutting anything relatively the same softness as a coat hanger. not that i don't like gerber, i've been carrying a multiplier for 10 years now, but when i sent in mine to get repaired, gerber sent me the newest model (military version since mine was one i got while in the navy) with the replaceable cutters, i felt the same way. hey look awesome carbide cutters! lets test them real quick...... some twisted .040 welding wire doubled up as tig wire........ boom, broken carbides, and then you let gerber know their product failed instantly and they throw out the "sorry that isn't covered in the tool warranty".. so they replace the tool after 10 years of use no problem, but cutters fail after 1 cut and its not their problem? fun.

The Leatherman Rebar is better than the Wave+. The Rebar is cheaper, lighter, and more robust. The scissors on the Wave+ are basically useless for anything but for thread snipping. Moreover, having to buy and carry bits for the Wave+ only adds to the cost and to the weight. The Wave+ and bit kit costs the same as two Rebars! I'd rather have two Rebars than one Wave+.

Wow snap on 3 of those, I own the Squirt PS4 and Gerber MP600 bladeless and I've just ordered the Rebar. I'm in the UK so can't carry a Rebar or most LMs for that matter as EDC, so PS4 lives in my coin pocket, and the MP600 is my urban EDC bag multitool. Having said that, I don't see any advantage of the Sidekick over the Rebar, it isn't smaller and lighter but has a more limited toolset, it only scores over the Rebar in that the blade and saw are accessible from the outside, and it has a pocketclip. I found a Rebar for just £50 (it's a ''second'' with an overwritten engraving but that's no biggy) which is really good for the UK, and even the Sidekick / Wingman are hard to find for that price nowadays. Like you I'm going to use the Rebar for outdoor activities when I don't really have to worry about the ban on carrying a fixed/locking blade, as that's only ''without good reason'', if you're camping or bushcrafting you have good reason to carry a locking blade and/or fixed blade and anyway I also carry a fixed blade of some kind when I'm doing that. Also that will be my Bug-Out-Bag multitool as it's good for outdoors use. I've got a couple of other mid-sized multitools - SOG Microclip and True Utility Multimate - which are UK legal for EDC but I don't rate them too much as apart from the pliers, which are a bit more substantial than those on a Squirt, the remaining tools have a few shortcomings, some are pretty much useless, however I tend to carry these in conjunction with a Swiss Army knife which covers those gaps in utility. Having said that, if I could opt for a 4th multitool it would be either a Leatherman Juice S2 or CS4, or a Swisstool X or Spirit X. The Juice would be more suited to a legal pocket EDC, but they're really hard to come by nowadays, the best price I can find is from a supplier in France and they still come in at around $90/100 respectively. For that money I can get a Swisstool, but that wouldn't be a practical EDC from the point of view of size and legality. So I still haven't decided. Probably I will end up getting both, I was only planning to get one fixed blade, one folder and one multitool but somehow I couldn't leave it at that, whenever I see a bargain in a clearance sale or on Amazon I convince myself that I'm saving money by buying it lol.

I find that spring loaded pliers are too much trouble, in fact spring loaded anything is an issue, knives, scissors, pliers all that. Springs can bend, break, and snap entirely too easily, and my heavy use of the tools I have proves that every time with only one exception, the kershaw leek.

The Squirt PS4 is the only tool in this video that actually looks like it's seen some real use. Even the Gerber still has all its black coating.

that's the problem with squirts -- why apply that shiny coating if the multitool is meant to carried on a keychain, next to sharp and hard keys? mine is almost "plain silver" now, with only a few tiny red spots. my rebar, wave and victorinox spirit look as good as new despite the fact that i use them hard (especially the rebar which will soon become glossier than the spirit).

I'm a carpenter and cyclist. Leatherman surge and Victorinox Swiss Army champ are my favorites. I packed the Leatherman for cycling and the Swiss Army when I'm walking around. But for work both of these are too small

I collect multitools. My 4 favorite are Surge, Wave, wingman & skeletol. I don’t like the idea on nothing outside of the “rebar”

For me it's surge , charge and squirt. Side kick and wingman are to light for me also the wingman falls appart for me and the cheaper tool scissors suck. For me it's beefy tough

edc'd an mp 600 bladeless for a couple of years and Its such a great tool, no rust, smooth action and no blades which is a must in the UK with our daft knife laws. Leatherman is missing a big chunk of the market unless you are willing to edc the rebar edc or juice/squirt models

It's just no locking blades, or blades over 3 inches. I agree it's daft, that means I can't even carry a keyring Opinel, and I wouldn't feel happy with a non-locking one, those blades are like razors. The only Leathermans which we can legally EDC are the Squirt, Style PS & CS, Juice range - and you're looking at nearly 100 quid for a CS4 if you can still find one - and Rebar bladeless. I EDC a Squirt, or a Gerber MP600 if I'm carrying a bag, but always pair them up with a Swiss Army knife.

On some L multitool in particularly the SP-300 when the tool is packed the handels just fall away fro each other by 1/4 of an inch. Do you know why that is?

Interesting video but I have a different perspective concerning the knife on the Rebar. It is awkward to cut food with it and in the woods I always carry a fixed blade knife with me. That's what kept me from adding the Rebar to my Leatherman collection.
