Almost Perfect
"This tool is what the Arc should have been. Spring loaded pliers are such a nice feature to have that it mystifies me why they aren't an option on Leatherman tools. The flathead screwdriver with the blade is a better tool than the one on the Arc, and the sewing eye on the awl is nice, although the sharpness of the awl on the Arc is much better. The only downside is that the 40th tool does not have a wire stripper. This could have been remedied if they put the far superior can opener found on the surge onto the tool but for some reason they stuck with the crappy free series can opener. The cerakote finish, while it does look nice, flakes off rather easily. It is hands down the highest quality Leatherman tool I own, even higher than the Arc Obsidian that came with a perfectly smooth plier head (an unfortunately rare occurance). The fact that it was made in the USA is probably a big factor in that. The real downside to this tool is that because it is a limited run, it is not covered by the Leatherman warranty, and so it must be used sparingly and gently if at all."
