Rebar
A 190 g, 17-tool box-joint design with no outside-accessible features, so every tool starts by unfolding the pliers. All implements except the plier head lock, and the wire cutters are the same replaceable premium inserts used on the Wave Plus. Leatherman lists no pocket clip for it and sells the nylon sheath separately.
