My Leatherman Charge story. I was on my way back to Phoenix and I had to go pee and held it as long as I could. In a panic about to piss my pants I pulled over on the highway about 15 minutes outside of Dateland at a random spot...got out and opened my two doors on my truck for privacy. Whipped my pecker out and look straight down and there was a brand new Leatherman Charge right at my feet. Not even dusty or dirty from the desert elements. Someone obviously pulled over at that same location not long before...used it once and dropped it. It's been in my truck ever since and it's been my good luck tool for years!!!
Gotta love the arc, did not experience any issues on the hard wire cutters. Every tool it comes handy for me (even the impact surface tool) i have a buddy of mine that makes a custom heavy duty leather holster for it that can be worn even without a belt.
Finally ordered mine today, can’t wait for it to come in. Been using my Dad’s pst since he passed away, but almost lost it and decided to order the arc and leave the pst in my house. I’ll be pissed if I lose the arc, but if I lost my dad’s pst, I’d be heartbroken.
@@shrimpm4445 thank you; and yes I am enjoying it. I was blessed to inherit a few rental properties from him, so with all the recent rain in Texas, I’m doing yard work on them every other day and the arc has been used already here and there. It’s been great. I just have to get used to the weight
It's my EDC, since i bought it in january 2024. Best multitool i ever had. A version with a less expensive blade in the price range of the Free P4, but with the tool configuration of the ARC would be nice.
Long time TTi Charge user, then carrier a Free P4 at my new office job (was in antiques resto for 22 years). I found the Free P4 file a joke and never use a serrated blade, and couldn't use bit kit with it. ARC is the perfect merger of the two, and having my diamond file back is wonderful too. Sure, did I shell out $199.99 out for the ARC? Yes, but it is worth it. IMO
I bought the obsidian limited edition arc and it’s so pretty I don’t want to use it. I was gona get regular arc but then for 75 less I went with free p4 and I like it. For 150 free p4 is excellent choice. Get it while you can cuz they’re discontinued.
I own every leatherman from the original PST to now. The ARC or Surge are usually my choice for EDC. Supertools, Rebars and Waves are packed in various first aid kits, trucks, and backpacks. 🤷🏽♂️
Is it worth it? For me it would be. I have a wave and I use it at least 4-5 times a day. I have a farm and a landscaping business. Leatherman is the best tool I’ve ever invested in. I will be getting one of these as soon as I can.
I wish it had the serrated blade/gut hook combo instead of the mini eyeglass bit driver that could have been incorporated into the Normal bit driver and this would be perfect
I would buy it, but it doesn't have a serrated blade. A small watch screwdriver takes up a lot of space. It's a useful item, it could be made without the bit holder as a separate accessory hidden somewhere in the case.
Love my surge but it doesn't cut through wire real good. I wish you guys would make the crunch again. Also the main blade on my was really badly sharpened and it would be awesome if you just sold the magnacut blade separately so I could replace the blade in my surge.
That’s awesome, been carrying my Berber suspension nxt for the last couple years hasn’t let me down yet. Maybe someday I’ll buy this Gucci multitool but I’ll be too scared to use it 😂
I need to see one , before I can Judge , ATM , I schlep a Wave + , a Charge + , or my Surge . ( Also a Vic. Spirit MX Clip , when I want something more compact!
It would be a very solid tool if it had a serrated blade instead of the awl like the wave +. It has all the wave tools in a better position but it's missing the serrated blade.
I emailed and asked. The tool has been fixed to not have a gap at the bottom and they will replace any arc sent in with the cutter fault. according to Leatherman.
Why do companies make an improvement on a tool but always down grade a solid function? Like leatherman had one of the best if not thee best wore cutters but changed them so they kinda suck now... like is the thought process "alright guys we can't make this too good or we might lose something to improve later"? I'm genuinely curious.
The blade on my Leatherman Free K2 was not heat treated properly so it goes dull after very light use. It went from hair shaving sharp to not even sharp enough to cut your skin just from cutting weed eater cord. My Leatherman Skeletool has rusted so badly I had to get a pair of pliers to open it. And it wasn’t even in the elements. The thing stays put up in my car. And the scissors on my Leatherman Micra don’t cut worth a shit. They’ve become so dull they won’t even cut paper anymore. That would be fine if the thing was old, but I’ve only had it for 2 years. I can confidently say, there’s no way in fucking heII id ever pay $250 for a Leatherman Arc. I will never give another cent of my money to this company. I gave them 3 chances and the quality of their tools was shit all 3 times. The next multi tool I get will be a Victorinox or a Gerber.
I'd STAY AWAY if I were you. I paid Leatherman their $230 plus extra $20 for engraving, only to receive it and it looks like the engraving was done by a 3 year old. I tried to call them but they never pick up so I emailed them, only to be told that they acknowledged that the engraving was horrible but they were only offering to refund the $20 engraving fee and leave me with a horrific looking $230 multi-tool. I suggest you walk away, their service is horrendous.
Please leatherman, make a serrated knife option instead of the saw! These should be an option on your website and would take next to no modification. Charge me $10 extra to be able to choose! You offer other custom options. Make this one included in the list
@@STElevation a serrated blade is very useful for all kinds of cutting tasks. Saw is very specific. I don’t want to dull my main blade when cutting boxes or rope. Serrated to cut heavy duty strapping. Not sure what people use the saw for. I’ve never once needed one. What do u use your saw for?
@@danielellisporter small bits of timber I guess. I’ve noticed my straight blade cuts rope better than my serrated not studs why just never reach for the serrated blade.
@@STElevation I’ve used both equally and I’d love the option to choose the tools in a leatherman. I think u may have missed the point of the initial comment. It wasn’t about the use of tools but the ability to customize what tools come in a leatherman.
@@danielellisporter oh no I got your original point. And I agree with it (which I could’ve made clearer I admit). I just find it interesting that we have different use cases (something that further supports your suggestion) I wonder if the edge retention of the new magnacut blade would charge your usage patterns at all. Although it sounds like you like the serrations for more than just not wanting to dull your regular straight knife.
Saya kehilangan alat ini setahun yang lalu, padahal saya sangat membutuhkan alat ini untuk kegiatan sehari hari saya, mau beli tetapi saya tidak memiliki uang yang cukup
In all fairness, this is more of a novelty item. The pliers are weak to say the least and trying to use the Arc as a screwdriver, might as well just use spaghetti. Money much rather well spent on a surge or even a wave. The blade is nothing to lose sleep over. Keep any other Leatherman blade sharp and it does the same job.
I’ve gone through 3 charge + and I can’t see a reason to switch to this. One handed opening is nice but I hated the feel of the pliers on the freep2 so I’m guessing this would be similar.
@@STElevation I’ve lost one down a hole, second one I have attached to my gear and I carry one daily for work. Honestly, the best thing I’ve ever carried.
@@danielellisporter solid tool that makes more sense though I thought you’d broken three of them and I was like “what are you using them for?!” Haha. Fair dues
How many are 100% one hand operable? Don’t get me wrong for the price a wave will do all the same things just as well but you’ll need two hands to do it that’s what people are paying for.

Same here.
Yeah tough as old boots.
Yup doesn't cost an arm & a leg

@@Elijah_Dove ?
Love mine
I wish it had the serrated blade/gut hook combo instead of the mini eyeglass bit driver that could have been incorporated into the Normal bit driver and this would be perfect
No way. Arc is 299€ in EU. I bought Leatherman Wave for 89€ (holster included, but it was 10 years ago)
dont compare the wave to the arc, this is made with different metals and alot more comfortable to use
Use mine everyday. It’s part of my limbs now.
I would buy it, but it doesn't have a serrated blade. A small watch screwdriver takes up a lot of space. It's a useful item, it could be made without the bit holder as a separate accessory hidden somewhere in the case.
Serrated blade poo poo. Straight blade magnacut steel ftw
Serrated🤮
You have the saw and the straight blade.
For most people the serrated blade is redundant after those.
Thanks
Is this where people that can't afford an Arc gather and talk sh*t about it? Lmao
It’s where people gather to say that the skeletool is still the best EDC multitool
@@tylergoldstein How's that the best? 🤔
@@christov4120 looks, toolset, function, weight
It seemed solid but it is also overpriced. I’d still take a surge over this. If this was 150 I’d scoop it immediately.
Supertool 300 can do the same at almost $120 less expensive.
Love my surge but it doesn't cut through wire real good. I wish you guys would make the crunch again. Also the main blade on my was really badly sharpened and it would be awesome if you just sold the magnacut blade separately so I could replace the blade in my surge.
My Leatherman love was OHT, helped me so many times, but was stolen by colleagues
Using mine daily its become my most used tool since drop!
Edit: for spelling
Awesome! Glad you like it 😎
I have yet to see/ handle one ; that said it looks very Cool !
That’s awesome, been carrying my Berber suspension nxt for the last couple years hasn’t let me down yet. Maybe someday I’ll buy this Gucci multitool but I’ll be too scared to use it 😂

I’m never gonna use the awe or the micro screwdriver
the only chance that would be nice would be the old clippers back. these have a gap at the bottom and wont cut all the way through
I emailed and asked. The tool has been fixed to not have a gap at the bottom and they will replace any arc sent in with the cutter fault. according to Leatherman.
@@isaiahhill4584The hard wire cutters?
The Arc is Leathermans best tool to date. It's the Ferrari of multi tools. Expensive but worth every penny.
Well, if only a toy Ferrari.. ARC is not a tool, but a toy created not by engineers, but by marketers
Why do companies make an improvement on a tool but always down grade a solid function? Like leatherman had one of the best if not thee best wore cutters but changed them so they kinda suck now... like is the thought process "alright guys we can't make this too good or we might lose something to improve later"? I'm genuinely curious.
It would be if I could affor it😢
That's where Leatherman is wrong. The ARC is overpriced and most people can't afford a $240 tool.
Held one at the store. It's cool, but i like my surge better.
Mine broke 😢 now I'm back to carrying my old wave until arc gets back from repairs. Wave is SUCH a downgrade after carrying my arc daily.
We'll get your ARC back to you in tip-top shape!
Wingman is the edc goat
Sono indeciso se prendere questo oppure cambiare auto...
I want so bad...
Maybe if it had S30v steel and would cost around 180 euros.. I'd be happy with a little sacrifice on the blade..
The blade is definitely sufficient enough, better than most of their other blades.
Make a mini and I'm sold. Till then I say good day 🧐
Mine will be here tomorrow!
The surge is better for blue collar
I use the knife for ALL those task

For 230$, I buy several EDC multi tools. Thanks.
Queria muito um desse mas desisti ao ver vários videos mostrando os cortadores de fios com problema e também preço excessivo

Look at it on the bright side, stiil one of a kind
I think I'll stick with my original Supertool
I bought it
What's the name
nah i'm gonna stay with a B/Bury that's 1/3 of the price of your tool AND DOES have a 1/4 bit driver
Supertool 300 ftw
Like mama said, *USE YOUR WORDS* _Descriptions would be better!_

Even the cheapest Chinese multi tools can do this
Witch one was the first one ?
All of them were the first one
The eyeglass screwdriver is so wack... You do realize you could just incoperate that to the back end of the bit driver extension
I prefer dedicated options. Not sure why you don’t but each to their own I guess.
You misspelled EX 😂😛😘
still using my wave+, never liked the arc.
