Everybody should have a multitool in their arsenal. There have been numerous times my trusty tool has got me out of trouble whilst camping, motorcycling and even in the office. You may not need it for years but, when you need it to get you out of a muddle, it will have paid for itself! There are several decent brands available, however the Leatherman is a tried and tested manufacturer and they have led the way since the company was founded by Tim Leatherman back in 1983.
With knife crime at an all-time high in the UK, carrying anything with a long blade is frowned upon. Baring this in mind, Leatherman have made the knifeless Rebar multitool, which is perfect for places or jobs where you need a handy set of tools yet aren’t allowed a knife blade.
The Rebar is made from high strength stainless steel which won’t corrode, rust or stain. The quality of Leatherman products is amazing, and this is reflected by their 25-year guarantee.
The Rebar has:
- Needle Nose Pliers
- Regular Pliers Premium
- Replaceable Wire Cutters
- Premium Replaceable Hard-Wire Cutters
- Electrical Crimper
- Wire Stripper

- Spring-Action Scissors
- Awl w/Thread Loop
- Ruler (8 in / 19cm)
- Can Opener
- Bottle Opener
- Wood/Metal File
- Phillips Screwdriver
- Large Screwdriver

Any Leatherman makes a fantastic gift, but the Rebar is simply perfect for the UK market. It comes in a nice box with instructions and a black leather carry case. The tool itself looks and feels quality, with a design that has been honed over years of development to be the very best there is available. RRP £94.95
