I think it’s funny how people will bitch about $230 for a magnacut Leatherman with a ton of functionality, but have no issues with paying Benchmade’s ridiculous prices.

The Arc seems to be the first leatherman I have zero desire to mod, besides maybe a couple thumb studs for the file and saw. Absolutely love it, thanks for the opinion yours.

I’m a knife guy. Never owned a quality full size multi tool. Only cheapos from Walmart. Finally on Thanksgiving I found an ARC for like 180. Couldn’t pass that up. Magnacut knives alone are typically $150+… anybody claiming the arc is overpriced is just uninformed on the knife market. I’m looking forward to receiving my arc, should be here in a couple days

You are correct, most quality tools are not cheap.

@meester9153 Ай бұрын

i sold my arc and bought a surge. i wanted something stronger. the bit holder on the arc flexes a lot. the t shank holder on the surge is a huge plus and its worth the trade off for the arcs hammer surface. theyre both perfect for different jobs. surge for outdoor and hard use work and arc for camera or ict or elictrician work.

I came very close to buying the surge. I may still buy it. thx for comment

As a wave + owner Leatherman emailed us an early offer with a small discount... I passed, I didn't complain, you have unlimited income, that's awesome, but not everyone does, my wave + and it's bit kit, works just fine for me

@SurvivalSavvvy Ай бұрын

Not unlimited income. I wish I did. I am just old and with being old my house is paid off and everything I own is also paid off so it puts you in a better position is all.

11:28 - I have some wire cutters that have this super simple mechanism in them where you can slide a piece of spring steel up and down (inside the handle) to turn on and off the spring loaded functionality. I really dont get why multitools havent caught on to that yet, it would be sooo good.

@davidblowe9096 Ай бұрын

$499 Australian $ I think they missed it by not putting the surge file/saw exchanger on the arc and at that price I’d like a full bit kit.

wow that is outrageous. I got mine in the States with a student discount for about $160 shipped to my door.

Most knives with magnacut cost at least $230. Minus a very small handful of Kershaw knives. Hell, there are a ton of Chinese knives with 20cv or m390 that cost over $230. This is a magnacut knife with 19 other tools for $230 And the engineering is great. USA made. If you can't afford it don't buy it. If you don't like it or don't see the value then don't buy it. But grown men crying is annoying

I understand the steel quality and the beauty and the easiness to open with one hand; however, if a tool (bc it's a tool for working) flex a lot when torquing in an open position, how come it's gonna cost that much money? Besides, for that price, the pouch that is provided is really cheap one (you can barely fit the bits with the tool). I guess if a company is going to charge premium for a product, it must comply with all the requirements performed by the tool. Leatherman has to improve that. As to me, I'm buying the Victorinox Swiss Tool X.

@billybunter3753 Ай бұрын

I don't have the arc, but I have the surge and I love it! I also have never understood the winging about not being able to use 1/4 inch bits. I always looked at the extension bar and thought...HELLO... ANYBODY HOME? Anyway my whiskers are grey too so maybe that's why we think the same? 😂 Also, you can use a 1/4 inch socket adapter with the extension bar. 👍

I have a Supertool 300 that I weally like and wont replace, but I want one that i can carry im my pocket outside of work. Im inbetween an arc, wave, and Victorianox spirit. I can get a 30% off student discount with leatherman, but the spirit does have the perfect toolset. My main problem with the arc is that it has a lot of flex in the handles, and im qorried about the magnets breaking if it get dropped. Its not the best looking multi tool, but i think that it would be cool to just carry to town or something.

@SurvivalSavvvy Ай бұрын

That is some great savings. Stay a student forever. 😂 I say do this order it and see what you think for 2 days, If you do not like it, send it back for another. But like I said in the video when I opened it I was like this is amazing.

@dualsportoutdoors Ай бұрын

I've owned two Arcs. Both suffered from major frame flex, blades that won't hold or take an edge worth squat, and wire cutters that broke on wire that even Gerber tools cut like butter. I'll stick with my Charge. It's superior to the Arc in every way

STAY AWAY from Leatherman. I paid them $240 for an Arc and paid extra to engrave my name on it, only to get the item and it looks like the engraving was done by a 3 year old. When I called them, they were snooty and only offered the $12 engraving fee back. The item is horrible looking with the engraving, as is their customer service.

@SurvivalSavvvy Ай бұрын

Seems getting custom work is not good. Leatherman custom product is built just for you and cannot be returned or exchanged. Having quality issues? Please view our warranty policy or contact our customer service team. I looked deeper into what the rules are, I would had thought it would have done by laser from a computer.

Do you own a handgun? Do you own a good camping knife? Do you own a car/truck? If yes how many kidneys did they cost you? :) I myself use a bark river knife when I hike which was way more than this leatherman. It really just comes down to if you like it. :)
