About this deal
The knifeless version takes the excellence of the original tool and exchanges the knife for a pair of scissors so you can have all the functionality of the Rebar and still carry it any area where a knife blade is not permitted. Leatherman fans will immediately recognise the distinct boxy body of the Knifeless Rebar found in the Super Tool 300 and Rebar. I'd prefer a Leatherman tool for EDC (not on me, but in the bag I always have on my bike, which also contains puncture repair kit, tyres levers etc.
Anyway, after finding out all of this I had to track down a multi-tool that I would be allowed to carry. BTW does the Rebar fit the "universal" Leatherman nylon sheath (the one with the hole in the bottom so you can carry deployed pliers, and with side pockets) well, or is it too loose in that, as it's smaller than the Wave etc.It's really just about somebody telling you that you can't have something, or that you can't do something.
BTW if it makes any difference the Multitool will probably always be carried in a bag (usually on my bicycle) rather than in my pocket or attached to my belt, except when using it. Does anyone believe any of the multi-tool manufacturers offer a knifeless multi-tool because there is consumer demand, or are the multi-tool manufacturers meeting governmental requirements? Anyway, whether you can have the tool is still often left up to individual discretion regardless of whether it meets rules and regulations.Like the Supertool 300, but a little smaller, the Rebar Knifeless has removable wire cutting blades that can be sharpened on the tools own file or even replaced. I had a Gerber MP600 knifeless that I left somewhere in my previous abode, but I love this UK 'street-legal' Rebar and it has a much more precisely engineered finish and refined action than the Gerber and because of the deliberate omission of a blade I can take it anywhere with me.
