Our take on the Leatherman ARC

The Leatherman ARC is a 20-tool full-size multi-tool built around Leatherman's FREE magnetic locking system, so every tool opens and closes one-handed from the outside with the pliers shut. Its main blade uses CPM MagnaCut steel with a DLC coating, a step up from the 154CM and S30V blades on most other Leatherman models, and it holds an edge longer while resisting corrosion. A cam lock keeps tools from folding on your fingers mid-job. It suits people who want a do-everything tool for camping, hiking, trades and everyday carry and will pay for premium steel and smooth action. Against the Wave+ and Charge+ it is heavier and more expensive, but it is the only Leatherman with MagnaCut and full outside access on every tool.

Best forCampers and hikers who want one tool instead of a gear bagTrades and DIY users who need one-handed accessEveryday carry buyers who want premium blade steelGift buyers wanting an engraveable heirloom-grade tool

What reviewers say

  • 4.6 / 52,906 ratings

Owners rate the ARC very highly, calling it the smoothest-operating multi-tool they have used. The one-hand access to every tool and the MagnaCut blade get the most praise, and many say it replaced several separate tools for camping and hiking. Complaints center on weight and the premium outlay rather than function.

About the Leatherman ARC

The Leatherman ARC is a premium multipurpose tool that makes no compromises. It was designed for strength, durability, versatility and ease-of-use. Each of the 20 tools built into this ultimate multi-tasker open smoothly with one hand, and snap back into place after use using Leatherman FREE technology.

The CPM MagnaCut steel used to make the knife blade of the ARC is truly outstanding. CPM MagnaCut steel puts an end to the need to choose between edge retention and blade strength, and lets you have it all. The MagnaCut steel blade has exceptional edge retention, and also excels in strength, toughness, and ease of sharpening. It is then finished with a DLC coating that makes it nearly completely impervious to corrosion.

To open the tools in the ARC, simply push the end with your thumb and spare your fingernails. Each and every tool is available from the outside of the Arc when the pliers are closed, allowing you to access anything you need with a single hand straight from the sheath. The cam lock is also simple to operate with one hand, and prevents tools from closing unexpectedly while on the job.

The evolved ergonomics of the ARC make it feel right at home in the palm of your hand, and haptic feedback assures you that tools are locked back into place where they belong when you have finished the task at hand.

The ARC has a the Leatherman FREE magnetic locking system with little friction and great security that will stand the test of time.

Engraving: Up to 6 characters can be engraved on the handle of the Leatherman ARC.

Sheath and accessories sold separately.

Questions and answers

Is the Leatherman ARC worth it over the Wave+?
If you want one-handed access to every tool and a MagnaCut blade, yes. The Wave+ costs less and is lighter, but its tools are not all outside-accessible and its blade steel is lower grade.
What blade steel does the ARC use?
CPM MagnaCut with a DLC coating. It balances edge retention, toughness and corrosion resistance better than the 154CM and S30V blades on most other Leatherman tools.
Can you open the tools with one hand?
Yes. All 20 tools sit on the outside and use the FREE magnetic locking system, so you can push them open with your thumb and they snap back into place.
How many tools does it have and what is included?
Twenty tools, including pliers, a MagnaCut knife blade, scissors, saw, bit driver, can and bottle opener, and wire cutters. The box contains the multi-tool; bits and sheath vary by listing.
Can it be engraved?
Yes, up to 6 characters can be engraved on the handle when the seller offers engraving.
Is the ARC good for camping and hiking?
Owners use it that way because it replaces several separate tools and saves pack weight and space. It is heavier than a pocket knife, so belt or pack carry suits it better than a pocket.
Where is the Leatherman ARC cheapest?
At Swiss Knife Shop, for $249.95, as of our latest check.
What do buyers say about the Leatherman ARC?
Rated 4.6 out of 5 from 2,906 ratings. Buyers like: Smoothest operating multitool reviewers have used; All tools accessible with one hand; Premium quality toolset.
