Leatherman REV Multitool — Silver

The Leatherman REV is a pocket multitool designed for those who want the essential tools on hand at all times without the weight and bulk of a full kit. Closed, it measures 9.7 cm and weighs 168 g: it sits in a pocket without being noticed and is ready when needed, on a hike, out hunting, or for a quick field repair.

The 420HC steel blade is the choice Leatherman makes for multitools in this category: a steel that takes a decent edge, sharpens easily with field tools, and holds up better against oxidation than untreated carbon steels. The 6.6 cm blade length handles everyday cutting tasks without crossing into dimensions that can cause issues in certain contexts.

The REV is built around the trade-off that sets compact multitools apart from professional ones: fourteen functions in a body under 170 g means smaller tools compared to dedicated instruments. The needle-nose and regular pliers, Phillips and flat-head screwdrivers in three sizes, a bottle opener, a can opener, wood and metal files, a wire stripper, and a 3.8 cm ruler cover the vast majority of everyday situations. Those looking for workshop-grade performance will find a model from the higher range more useful; those looking for a light tool that is always in their pocket will find the REV a straightforward answer.
