Reviews

Best Leatherman EDC Yet!

"I love everything about this little workhorse! There is ease of use with one-handed opening and I love that all the main tools are on the outside. All tools open and function with ease. The magnacut blade along with the functionality of this tool is absolutely worth the price. The only other Leatherman’s I have owned is the original which never seem to loose its stiffness and with break your nails when opening and the Raptors which I’ve carried everyday at work for the past 11 years, they are still as sharp and stout as the day I bought them. If you’re on the fence about the Arc, I doubt you’ll be disappointed! If cost is an issue, there are many to choose from."

— Matthew H. (5/5)

Meh

"The serrated knife was great for rooe, the hook was great for opening packages without hurting the contents, the ruler was really useful, the handle doesn't lock open so the handle is floppy when you're trying to use the screw driver with a long handle, the magnets collect metal chips, the scissors don't meet well, and most fundamentally the plier pivot is just a pin so it will wear out, become floppy and then the pliers won't cut. I think the Charge was better and still overpriced but less so."

— Lior T. (2/5)

Didn't know what i was missing.

"I own several leatherman tools and I'm always happy with the product. I finally pulled the trigger on the Arc and bought the 200 + knife and it's worth every penny. The action on it is so smooth I can't stop fidgeting with it. And being able to pull every tool with such ease and with one hand is amazing! Very happy with the Arc. Definitely a forever knife."

— Christian K. (5/5)

Leatherman Arc

"In my opinion this is a very good product. It is well thought out and built tough. My only complaint is it is too heavy to pocket carry and I won't use a pouch, I hate belt pouches. Due to its weight I have it in my car so the knife does not get used as much as it could. I will probably look for a lighter Leatherman multitool. Overall a very good product though."

— Wilf T. (4/5)

The best!

"I own nearly a dozen multitools and this one is by far my favorite. It's great to use, satisfying to hear when you open and close it, and the materials it's made out of are long lasting and durable. I love that it comes with a sturdy pocket clip and the custom work I had done to it, with adding text, looks great too! It's really my all-time favorite!"

— Joel G. (5/5)

Awesome tool

"I work in construction and it’s been super handy! Always have a tool i need. Only thing that wasn’t 100% 5 stars is I think they could be a little nicer on the hand when using the pliers. Still an excellent tool though and I carry it everyday"

— Brian G. (5/5)

Great tool but terrible value

"This tool used to come with a sheath and extra bits and USA stamped on the pliers and the blade. None of those things exist anymore. The tool is great but this company is so cheap I'm surprised I even got a box."

— Jonathan C. (4/5)

Super handy

"I'm a big knife guy. Always have one or two on my person at all time but kept finding myself using them to pry or needing pliers. Bought this because of the blade steel originally but find it so useful i don't think i could be without it now. The amount of random house projects i now complete in half the time because I'm not running to the shed to grab something has paid for this tool 10x over."

— Ethan A. (5/5)

Great tool, average engraving

"Basically the tool is amazing. Has all the capabilities you would want. Except a tooth pick. Please put a tooth pick and maybe some Tweezers in the next heigh end modle But the engraving was average. The details didn't come out as I had quite hoped. Specifically the scales and the firmness of the engraving. Maybe I had to heigh expectations. But I feel that the program that uploads the engraving could better reflect the real-life outcome. Anyway. It's a great tool but I'm making you down because of the engraving. Sorry the photo i took was a bit poor. Im not a photographer This arc is purchased as a gift, but i have had my current arc for 2 or so year and it is great. Things that could be improved. Tooth pick. Tweezers. (There are after market mods that i have installed) And the plyers could be better. They grip could meet along the entire mouth and the cutters should allow you to cut when you push the to be cut item to the very back. Anyway. Thanks for making a great tool. I'm sure my mate will like it regardless of the engravings. Cheers Jeremy"

— Jeremy B. (3/5)

Industrial electrician

"I've used every tool multiple times a day. The awl and saw are great for reaming and cutting PVC. File works great on RMC. Screwdriver for exploration. The knife stays sharp and I just leave my utility knife in my toolbag. I terminated a switchgear and fixed my wife's minivan with this and a torque wrench the first week. I just wish the cutters were less finicky. The gap near on the inside by the pivot is annoying to work around. I also wish it came with a maintenance screwdriver with the T6 and T10. Otherwise I'll say the overall quality is premium and typically wins over my Kleins for pocket space now."
