  It is the most economical model of LEATHERMAN, ideal for small momentary tasks. All the tools that the REV has function perfectly. Only the knife opens externally and locks.

  Update 06/24 WITHOUT CASE TO AVOID MISUNDERSTANDING THEY DO NOT PROVIDE A CASE DESPITE BEING STATED. Without any rough use, the pocket clip broke after 8 months of purchasing the product. I have the warranty, of course, but I have to pay the shipping costs to Germany, which amount to 14€. The piece that broke costs 5€, but no one imports it to Greece, otherwise I would have bought it. So, you either have to pay the 14€ to have it fixed "for free" or you are left without a pocket clip, which is very useful. I had a very good opinion about Leatherman and they produce very nice pieces, but next time I will probably go to another company

  I bought it on January 7, 2020 for around €55.
  Leatherman is an American multitool company similar to Swiss Victorinox. The Leatherman Rev is the first multitool I have purchased from Leatherman. The Rev was the most affordable option in the nearest store compared to other models. I bought it to satisfy my curiosity about Leatherman, as a owner of Victorinox products, I saw that the company has loyal fans with its tools and I wanted to see it practically. But also to have it.
  We have first impressions about the Rev:
  -> Sturdy all-metal construction, weighing about 200 grams.
  -> Its blade is very sharp and pointed, and well sharpened, I can say slightly sharper than Victorinox, and it opens with one hand and also locks the blade. The steel of the blade is 420HC (high carbon steel), which means it is harder, sharper, and holds its edge better compared to knives with other steels. It is also easy to sharpen. The 420HC is a positive point.
  -> The fairly large pliers are one of its strong advantages as they have wire cutters and strippers.
  -> It has a sharpened hook for easy unboxing without using the knife.
  -> It has a small file for wood and iron, from the touch I understood that it is of very good quality, and on the back it has a 1.5-inch ruler with a head that can be a small straight screwdriver.
  -> It has a bottle opener, can opener, and cutter all in one.
  -> It has a large flat blade, probably a screwdriver.
  -> And a flathead screwdriver that I don't want to use with great force to avoid breaking it (as I have seen on YouTube tests).
  -> I believe that due to its pliers and quality, it can accompany the Swiss Victorinox multitools that I have.
  -> It has a 25-year warranty and the company's motto is that if it breaks for any reason, we will fix it.
  -> Although Greek legislation is strict and peculiar with everything, of course, with this sharp blade that locks, there would be an issue with it being carried. It is better to have it on you when you are somewhere where it could be used as a tool, for example as a tool in a toolbox with other tools, on a countryside trip, and to say that it is a multitool to justify why you have it on you during a police check.

  The negatives are that it does not have the spring in the pliers that even €10 multitools have, the wire cutters of the pliers do not cut 3x1mm2 cables and 0.75mm2 bipolar cables that a €20 Chinese multitool I have cuts, but they get stuck and jam. It does not have a case either, it could have numbering on the small ruler, the belt clip was annoying because one part of the multitool is thick and has the clip, and the other part is thin until I removed it. Expensive for what it offers, it is better to get the Ingco Industrial multitool for €13 and the Tac Maven Gunnar for around €30, much better value for money compared to this €55 one...

  Update 2024 -> It gives me the impression, without having worked with it intensively, that it will rust, but it has not rusted yet, it just needs intensive cleaning because these metals absorb stains and it looks like rust.

  Quite good, after about 6 months of daily use at work, I am satisfied.
