Totally agree, if you carry a good knife, not worth it. But if you truly only carry one thing, that blade alone is worth the price difference.

I’m not allowed to have a knife on me at work. But I can certainly have a multi tool. Arc all day for me.

This is the best tool leatherman has ever made. Worth every penny. I love it.

I have had a freep4 for 5 years now and other than the belt holster wearing a bit it's still perfect love it. Also Benchmade charges 300 bucks for mid steel and plastic grips so 230 isn't ridiculous too me

Seriously. People act like an hours pay for the best multi tool on the market is a big purchase.

Considering most med - high end production knives offering Magnacut are around $200, the price doesn’t seem all that bad comparatively.

I’ve spent over $1200 on Leathermans over the years. Both gifted and for myself. I recently coughed up $115 on four of the new Bibury wave and surge clones. Long/short of the story, I’ll NEVER pay for a Leatherman again.

Just ordered mine for 160 with a nurse discount! I can't wait!

Same here, they have student discounts for 30% off highly recommend. All you do is put your college or university, name, DOB, and school email and it’s gives you the code on the spot. Maybe try asking people you know in uni or college that don’t need the code to get it for you!

My ONLY real gripe with the ARC so far is I wish it was a tad bigger but otherwise I really like it.

I don’t think of this as a bad price because in the long run it pays for itself the magnacut and the thumb stud on it make it a joy to open and the tool set is amazing it was all i wanted in the p4 and more with the interchangeable bit driver it makes it worth wild for me can’t wait to get one I lost my p4 and still have a p2 but it’s not the same I like the saw on the p4

@disco4535

Lol its a comically terrible price. It isnt going to "pay for itself". Get the P4, and since everyone that watches this channel carries a knife ( and probably has many, MANY of them) daily anyway, it really makes no sense. And the Arc's wire cutters are faulty and will be recalled soon

Great looking multi tool!!!

This is my eventual replacement for my Free P2 which has been an incredible tool for me.

I happen to have zero buyer's remorse, but then again I didnt have a wave already... probably would be a different story if i did

This toolset with a normal blade would have easily fit the bill for me…it’s sweet, either way.

It's US-made too

The sad part is they didn’t even achieve 62 HRC on the blade. When they get that right, I’d be in on it

They’re nice but the surge is all I need in a multi tool.

Ok the Arc is no joke

$230 for a multitool? Nope. But that’s just me. Enjoy that baby now that you own it.

I have, as many others, far too many Leathermans. I still got the Arc because I wanted to try the Free tools and I got it for $160 using the student discount so not a bad deal at all, especially with the Magnacut blade.

I just ordered one. Used 30% coupon. $175 shipped with tax

Can’t wait for mine!

Ever since Leatherman stop selling their blades and other components separately I have just stopped carrying one. Never really saw the point of carrying a pocket knife and a multi tool. And since I can't replace a broken blade anymore through Leatherman, I no longer care for the brand.

You seem to be totally unaware that you can send a broken or worn out Leatherman back and get any parts replaced that you need--FOR FREE. They also completely clean the tool and refurb anything else that's wrong with it. I certainly hope you make other decisions in your life based upon a better process then the invalid reasons you gave for no longer carrying a Leatherman.

@@1TruePatriot leatherman's policy is not to return any item they cannot fix. So if something is broken and they stop making whatever or something else is bent on the item so it won't be performing correctly they'll just send you a new version. I found out when I tried to get my late uncle's Leatherman fixed. I actually had a conversation with the representative who said that she has no way of shipping back his Leatherman to me if they don't dheem it up to standards. Work fine if you're not attached to it. This was my late uncle's Letterman so I was not going to trade it in for a new one. Years ago they sold every component they made separately, and they had a really awesome repair policy. The company as it is today not the same.

Great multi-tool; Im all for leatherman they make great and tough stuff, but I got to say the clones like bibury and rocktol are way cheaper with the same functions. For me if im going to use a multi tool as a beater than Im going for the clones mostly because I can get 3 with a warrenty.

can a layman sharpen the magnacut blade once it dulls?

Not really, they make some of the most well-built and popular multitools on the market and sell them for less than what many companies do for simple folding knives. You can get an s30v and titanium Leatherman made in America for less than many spydercos or benchmades. Considering everything, their tools are fairly understandably priced.
