the "wow you can read the brochure" clip was hilarious. it's applicable to so many reviews. I thought you did a really good job of actually explaining a few techniques for how to open and use certain tools in the arc.

I love multi tools and use them for work they come in handy whenever you need something. It’s compact size essentially saves space in your pockets

Most of the pocket knives I own and have carried daily are slip-joints with a nail nick, so the Arc has been a fantastic way to cut down my EDC. Also, the fidget factor has been monumental in my quest to quit smoking. Worth every penny, in my book.

I use the arc daily at work. I/C tech, perfect tool for the job. I modified it as well. The biggest mod being that i switched out the saw with a P4 serrated blade. There's tons of little things you can do as well.

I never have to question the value for money of my 2 Biburys. Both excellent. No issues.

Props to Leatherman for innovating. They must appeal to a younger audience. Still rocking my leatherman Surge since 2015 haven't left my pocket. With such a wide range you can't go wrong.

Would love an equivalent for the surge, a super heavy duty tool with the T-shank adaptor but with magnets and one-hand operation

Neotokyo Love the fact that you have a wide variety of tools with you all the time Sometimes the weight is cumbersome for the pocket but you can use a sheath

Love your prospective and the quality of your video, this was the first vid of yours I’ve watched, earned a subscriber! 🤙🏻

I've been using a MUT since October 2011. For the first 10 years it was on my tac vest at work, paired with a nice Otis cleaning kit for weapons maintenance. Since 2022, as a civilian, I only use it a general DIY multitool and it's always in my motorcycle waist pack. I always tinker, and it does it very well. And those pliers... not pretty but they do bite!!!

I have a Bond. In the past I owned a Wave, and before that a PST. As an apartment dweller, I find them very handy.

Love this video great review neotokyo keep up the good work

How was your visit to ​​NEOTOKYO ? My favorite thing about carrying a multitool, is the add-on bit sets. I love to have a bit driver on hand for pretty much any occasion. and another neotokyo for good measure.

I'm a mechatronics technician, and this Leatherman Arc multi-tool is literally what I need. I'm from Europe, and despite the high price of €300+, I definitely find it worth the effort.

Im a CT mechanic and automotive mechanic by trade and I honestly used my leatherman wave constantly. I upgraded to the arc and didn’t even know about the crimper now I’m stoked. I’m always fixing and building stuff at home so when all my good tools are at work I don’t want to drive across town to pick them up I can use my arc. I have been known for always having my leatherman on me and fixing everything!

Loved the review brother thanks

I am an theatre engineer and I am handy and also a Dad. I have had the Surge for years. Literary worn that tool out. The Arc is perfect for me. When I am under a car or high on a ladder, in my daughter's room or on a formal visit. The Arc is one hand handy. It is so easy to use and get my job done. Yes for me it is worth it.

Probably the best video I've seen for the Arc. Unfortunately, I only have the Wave+ but it works for me.

I'm a full-time mechanic and have been wearing a leatherman now for about 17 years. Mine daily work mulittool is the charge and in the weekend mostly the skeletool. I don't see the charge will replace by the new arc

NEOTOKYO I have SuperTool 300 and I like the durability of the needle nose pliers. The knife blade snapped off a long while back but that doesn’t bother me since I always edc a knife anyway.

Ron always digging the videos man! I need that neotokyo patch! I like that the tool is always coming in clutch for things around the house like fixing my chairs. I dislike that they are always clunky.

I have used every tool on my leatherman arc and have only had it a few months. The tools included are ones I use regularly and also some I thought I wouldn’t use but was glad I had on me when I did end up needing it.

Neotokyo I wanted this one but I was too poor so went with the Leatherman Signal and love it! Multitools are great for us EDC dads one tool to rule them all

Hey man, what knife is that in the back ground?

I want one ( 300 bucks in Canada ) , ATM , I rotate between a Surge , a Wave + , Charge + , and a Victorinox Spirit MXClip . As yet I’ve never seen one in the flesh , or handled one !

Can anyone explain to me where a can opener is still needed today? And are there actually people who use multi-tools but can't open a beer without a bottle opener? As long as every multitool has something like this, I will have no understanding for the salary of the Leathermann development department...

Definitely wish I would have seen this when I was thinking about buying one! Although I'm glad I did choose what I did choose but this would have made it an easier decision. Great video Ron! 🤙🤙

neotokyo just started getting into the edc scene havent picked up a multitool yet just because how bulky they are. but my journey started with a nutsac tacsac 13. I've bought mini pouch to add to the tacsac and love it. my first edc pocketknife is the civivi baby banter and i love it just bought the flytanium titanium scales and love the feel of them. keep up the great content. cant wait for my videos!

Neotokyo, I have the leatherman signal, it's really cool but I just don't have a use for it everyday, it would be great for camping though

Great video! Thanks for articulating very well all the features in this multi tool. Keep it up. As far as purchasing this tool, I would. I’m an HVAC Tech/Installer. In many cases this tool will come in and save me 15-30 minutes of time. The best part is the single hand operation. Thanks for your video.

Love mine. Magnacut blade is great and it's USA made

I definitely use multi-tools. I have one Leatherman and one Gerber. The blades for cutting are the parts that I wind up using the least often, but I do use them to cut something once in a while. I more often wind up using the pliers, the wire cutter, or the screwdriver

That's a nice tool ! I recognize that is too much tool for my needs. Thanks for showing it

I use a leatherman surge regularly, the corrosion resistance isn't very good at all. However I live in the deep south where humidity is high as hell year round so there is that. The biggest thing I like and use on the surge is the full size scissors, pliers and the saw edge blade. Saw edged blade (not the replaceable one) is great for cutting thick straps off of pallets. Interested in eventually getting a new leatherman, or just letting the one I have get much more life out of it. Was wondering what all the arc had to offer. I would actually use it everyday (at least work days) Edit: I've had the surge since they came out, when I say corrosion resistance isn't good I mean it still looks and is in excellent condition. The small pockets of corrosion you can see deep inside of the joints where it's really hard to clean

Netotokyo. I like that the multitool can do almost everything. I don’t like that it doesn’t do any one of those things very well. But keeps me from going back to toolbox many times

Why do they always can't make it to perfection? Finally some useful tools in a set, but why would they exclude the hole in the awl and why don't they add a small flat screwdriver to the can opener (like victorinox do)?

Neotokyo love all the functions and the accessibility.

Neotokyo for the dub! Love MTs bc so many uses and eliminates bulk from time to time! Love the content Ron!

Awesome video, very informative 🤘

NEOTOKIO . I love scissors in a multitool. I carry a Victorinox Compact everyday.

Now after watching this I understand the hype a little more, but I’m still not bought into the price tag with just a magnacut blade. I have the wave plus and free p4, and I think if I’m going to level up to magnacut, I would do so with a dedicated folder or fixie. If Leatherman went Magnacut for all the sharp edges on the ARC like the scissors, wire cutters, and saw, then that would be a little more attractive. I’ve also been eyeing the MKM Malga 6. It’s a SAK looking tool with a magnacut blade for only $169. Might look to snag that since I already have 2 Leatherman multitools that still work extremely well. Nevertheless, always great seeing your new videos brother. Loved every bit 🤙🏾

NeoTokyo I like my multitool for the needle nose, pliers, screwdriver and scissors

Sorry I've been staring at the electrical crimper part like how you showed it in your video... and looking at my own tool and figuring out how does the crimper actually work.... I realised that it's used when the pliers are opened, and then the part to be crimped is at the bottom of the pliers (below the plier joint). 😅

Gorgeous tool but the Surge is way better with the t-shank adapter and usable diamond file.

Thanks for the vid. There isn't enough gained by this tool to replace my go-to combo. It comes pretty close, but my Victorinox Swisstool Spirit has very useful tools that I am not ready to let go of. I like what I see, but I'm not in the mood to modify such an expensive tool to still not have everything I need. Swisstool spirit XC and benchmade 940 is honestly top tier edc. Keep a pouch with various mini accessories and there isn't much you'll be left wanting for. I'd like to see them remove the eyeglass driver and replace it with a small chisel. The wire cutter thing is problematic due to the coat hanger thing. Is it meant for it? No. Do I always have a choice in whether or not I can use proper side cutters? Also, no. It's not about whether you should do it, it's about what needs to get done. I liked the utilization percentage, very interesting thought process. I never really thought of it that way, but I guess it can explain why I ignore tools with corkscrews. Keep up the fantastic work 👏

Neotokyo . I like that multi tools have heaps of tools on them but I don’t like how heavy they can get

I love it great review

I use mine every day, and like the set of tools included. The only way this tool would be better is if it was ither modular or the tool sets could be individually customized.

Are you sure you use the crimper like that and not with the handles extended? Wouldn't that give you a lot better leverage? Also I really don't get why you would rate the tool by your personal utilization? That seems super-weird to me in a review... As opposed to "WOULD I use these if I had a sudden use and no professional alternatives handy", which is the point of a multi tool?

Neotokyo one thing I don’t like about multi tools r how think they can be with only using a few of the tools

I have over 20 leatherman.including charge plus g10 and p2. Bottom line I bring my supertool 300 to work every single day and out of work a curl is in the pocket lol dk where I was going with this but having said all that I want an arc 😂 it’s a freakin sickness

NEOTOKYO I like multitools for how practical they are in such a compact form factor.

Honest question because I hear it all the time. Are people actually replacing tools in their toolbox with your typical Leatherman style multi-tool?

Ron your style is so sleek, it's almost like you're from....neotokyo, one thing I don't like about multi tools are they don't fit my current use case, that's it.

I use my Charge + everyday. The lack of interchangeable bits kept me away from the p4. The lack of serated blade and guthook keeps me from getting the Arc. Super dumb they got rid of the inside ruler too, I use that all the time. I want those outside accessible tools, I hope they eventually make one with everything the Charge series has. I also didn't need a better main blade, I need better steel on the serrated.

The scissors are better than you think. I was able to cut a leather belt with mine.

I love the size but think I prefer the Charge tti. I miss the serrated knife and haven’t been impressed with this knife.

NEOTOKYO I like that whenever I needed one, it shows that it was a worthwhile tool to own. Another solid video. I really like the one hand operation of the Leatherman but its quite pricey. I'm using a SAK as my multitool of choice (it was useful in assembling an Ikea desk) and will eventually pick up the SOG Powerpint.

Yes. It's worth it for me. The toolset options is just good

EDC a Surge for work these days and it gets a work out. Prior to that it was a Gen2 Wave. Prefer the Surge for my work. Not sold on the Arc yet and the $500aud price tag is a lot to swallow. Size wise I like the Arc over the Wave.

NeoTokyo I love men too keep in my bag. It’s great to always have on hand when you need!

Neotokyo Multi tools don't get enough use for me to carry one.

Im happy with mine, I did get it with medical discount for $160

NEOTOKYO - I use a SOG powerpint because of its size

Neotokyo , I like that you can get multiple tasks done with one tool .

I absolutely hated the P2. This honestly looks as bad if not worse. Not a fan of the bit drivers. Horrible ergonomics. The plier head is fine and the scissors/file/saw on this look very good.

I love mine after I did some mods to it

EDC: blackened Surge with leather sheath 👍

Use gravity instead of a flip when opening the pliers.

As for the wire cutter drama. I get it, no one needs to cut coat hangers, but if you say in the same video that this is for professionals and tradesman then the wire cutters are indeed a big issue that needs to be fixed. As a water treatment plant operator who uses my surge multiple times daily, I would almost consider not buying this for how often I need the tool to work without breaking.

NEOTOKYO i cant live without mine my guy

Yes its expensive. but is it the best? i think so. maybe not by much. but for me. i prefer it over my wave+

Newbie here. Mine should be able to cut barbed wire more than once. Have a reasonable saw. The knife should be able to feather stick. A good pair of scissors would also be useful. Can and bottle opener. Don't necessarily need screwdrivers. Focused on bushcraft. I could use some real life users advice, and thanks in advance! Greets, TW.

3:43 how????

I definitely use my multitool on a regular basis, specifically the pliers/cutters and the bit driver, followed by the scissors. I almost never use the knife blade since I carry a knife that's easier to access and lighter. I don't care about bottle and can openers. For me, it's not worth the price tag, especially since I'm not interested in the high end blade. I like the ease of deployment but not enough to buy. Thanks for the update!

Neotokyo - I use a multitool but I dislike the bulkiness

ooooo, Poping the Popcorn!

It's one of the best, but not for me, I use a Rebar knifeless, and a set of screwdrivers.

Love mine. Expensive. No regrets.

Neotokyo love my wave

$499 here in Australia..

Neotokyo Taco Bell! Love multi tools, for their small form and big punch!

Neotokyo 💪🏽💪🏽

Its even more in europe, 300 euro (326 usd) 🤑🤑🤑 not bying at this prize.

It's €300 ($325) in the Netherlands 😅

Neotokyo I don't like how most tools can be useless to me.

Shoutout to Neotokyo thanks for the win

Leatherman Wave will get it done.

Neotokyo I don’t like pinching my hand with them

I just haven't seen the need and $too try something isn't available

Just picked one up for $170

I used to have a Radio Shack edition Squirt that was so easy to carry and came in handy in pinches. I’ve had a Wave for a couple of years now and it still saves the day. neotokyo

🤙

It replace my spyderco Manix 2 . Now mypocket is free

Neotokyo

Let’s note that the majority of campers are not woodsmen. Most are carpenters. Most make nothing with their hands & tools. So it is no surprise that you find an awl useless.

Well I bought one but then I'm rich😂

All leathermans are worth the price.

Where is your hair game bro?

300€ in EU😂
