The Arc Thread...

I don't understand people who don't bat an eye at 250 dollars for a Benchmade, but complain about the same price for a far superior tool with a premium steel blade and many other functions, whatever.

Exactly how I feel. I'm sure that any of the other Leatherman models are very nice especially depending on what you need it for but $250 for a multitool of that quality and materials is not that bad
 
At first I was hesitant because of the price of the Arc compared to other Leatherman models like the Wave, then I considered the difference in materials and design. I got a $100 gift card for last Christmas so I used it to put towards purchasing the Arc. I’m glad I did, it took me a while to get used to the different lock mechanisms but it’s so much smoother and all the tools are outside accessible. You don’t have to open the pliers handles to get at them and that’s so nice and easy. The Magnacut blade is icing on the cake. I have used it a lot and it’s my favorite now. I wasn’t sure at first if it would push the Wave out of my pocket but it has.

I’ve bought other tools of all kinds including knives and paid more , some I rarely use but they are necessary for specialized projects that can’t be done without them. I figured that I would be using the Arc more often and on a regular basis so to me it’s worth it. The jobs I’ve done with the Arc so far have paid for itself a few times over. No buyers remorse for me !
 
I love mine. Dont always carry it on me now (I did for over a month straight) when I first got it. I do wish they would have kept the blade grind and opening hole of the p4, but made it in magnacut. P4 is thinner. Other than that I love it
 
Here's a couple we have. I've owned at least 5 over the last year or so and my brothers and dad all have owned or still do own one or more of them. IMG_2383.jpeg
