FAQs
Is the blade locking?
The main blade on the Leatherman Rev is designed to be sturdy, but it does not feature a mechanical locking system.
Can I carry this on an airplane?
No, the Leatherman Rev contains a knife blade and other sharp tools, which are prohibited in carry-on luggage by aviation security regulations.
What is the material of the blade?
The blade is constructed from 420HC stainless steel, which offers a great balance of edge retention and corrosion resistance.
Can the pocket clip be removed?
Yes, the pocket clip is replaceable and removable depending on your preferred carrying style.
Is this tool suitable for heavy-duty electrical work?
While it features wire cutters and a stripper, it is intended for general light-duty maintenance and is not rated for high-voltage electrical work.
How long is the tool when closed?
The Leatherman Rev measures 9.7 cm when in its closed, compact position.
Troubleshooting
Tools are difficult to deploy
Apply a small amount of synthetic lubricant to the pivot points and open/close the tools repeatedly to work the oil into the hinges.
Blade feels dull
Use a sharpening stone or handheld sharpener at a 20-degree angle to restore the edge of the 420HC blade.
Pocket clip has become loose
Check the screw securing the clip to the body of the tool; if it is loose, tighten it carefully using the appropriate screwdriver.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Rev is ready to use straight out of the box. To maintain peak performance, wipe the tool down with a clean, dry cloth after use, especially if exposed to moisture or debris. If the pivot points become stiff, a light drop of penetrating oil can restore smooth movement. Periodically inspect the wire cutters for nicks or dullness, and use a standard sharpening stone or diamond rod to maintain the edge on the 420HC blade. The pocket clip can be removed or swapped using a standard hex or Torx driver if you prefer to carry the tool inside a pouch or bag instead of clipped to your pocket.
