I’m glad I got the TTI before the price increase. I went with it over the Arc because I use a serrated blade more than an awl, but I wish tti had the bigger scissors of the Arc. Overall I ’m happy with the tti though.
TTI is the better tool if you plan to use it. I've had both. Sold the Arc after a week of owning it. During that time, I broke the cutters twice on super easy wire that even my Gerbers' carbide cutters have no trouble with, the frame was flexing like crazy, and the blade had to be sharpened 3 times because the "Magnacut" (if that's really what it is) didn't hold an edge worth a damn
I love my TTI and Surge but if I lost all of them the Arc would be the first one I'd replace…. It's just better all round. All the hard-wire cutters are the same across the Leatherman's line now, it's supposed to be free and easy that's the point. And if you are dulling the blade like that you're using the wrong tool for the job. Hate on it all you want. But the Arcs just better than anything else in Leathermans line up.
Leatherman is out of their minds with the pricing. The better option is to buy a low end multitool for $40 and spend the other $190 on real tools. These two multitools come in at $430. That's nuts.
Agreed and prices will keep rising too. Leatherman knows we will pay it after the garage series! Than the arc coming in at $230. So they will start raising it on other tools
@@appleztooranges yes as long as the demand is there, they will continue price increases. I still think the Surge/Wave/Charge is the better options and use the other money to buy real tools as stated above. I'm happy with what Leatherman tools i have, wouldnt be buying for a Long while.
Good point on the blade differences. Longer blade and s30v are better combo if you ask me. Half inch shorter and that thumb stud will impact cutting specific objects. People are too crazy about chasing the best steel when you really dont need it. Keep it maintained and stropped and s30v will be perfect.
The Charge TTI actually has a built in lanyard loop that sits underneath the end of the saw blade. You just have to get in there and push it out. They made the loop to where it recesses down into frame of the tool. But if you want a loop it's already available on the Charge TTI!! By the way, I think the charge is a much better platform. It's basically built on the tried and true Wave platform, just upgraded a bit with better knife steel and titanium scales!!
Sounds like Europe still has the very high import tariffs that their governments have enjoyed for almost a hundred years. Just another way to tax goods that consumers want to buy.
Hi yes I would have both of them and of course yes I have both of them in my collection and I would not worry about the price too much think myself if you want one get yourself one as long as it's not too overpriced.

@@gavincooke1982 all I cut with the Arc was cardboard
That's probably the worst thing you could cut with it

@@darriusholt not at my job. Arc was dull before I even got to the really bad stuff that my Charge was still sharp after cutting

@@appleztooranges what are you doing
***Leatherman arc vs charge tti. Price is more on tti. Which would you chose? Forgot to say the arc has a hammer surface on one end.
TTI is NR 1

the ARC comes at 300euro in France completly not worth it and the TTI 280euro

Just say TIE.
ARC is better.
Do you own both?
I have both and I will continue to use my Charge TTi for daily carry, I can trust it, whereas the ARC has yet to earn my trust.
Yes tried and true with the tti. I completely agree 👍
