Leatherman ARC Multi-Tool

The top of the line tool from Leatherman is now available in Australia

ARC is the first-ever multi-tool to include premium MagnaCut steel. The knife blade is made of CPM MagnaCut steel which maintains a sharp edge and excels in corrosion resistance, toughness, and ease of sharpening. The result is a knife blade that's perfect for everyday tasks as well as the harshest of environments. The DLC coating on the blade adds another layer of corrosion resistance. ARC also includes the highly-requested bit driver and thanks to FREE technology, each feature opens smoothly and is 100% one-hand operable. With 20 tools (full numbered list of tools at bottom of description that correspond with numbered tool image), removable pocket clip, four-pocket nylon sheath, and nine double-ended bits, the durable, practical ARC sets the standard for now and the future for premium multi-tools.

1. PREMIUM MATERIALS

CPM MAGNACUT® KNIFE BLADE: An industry-first, ARC’s knife is made from MagnaCut® steel which hits the sweet spot of qualities that make a superior knife blade. It has excellent edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. It is a relatively new steel on the market and was designed specifically as a knife steel. It’s also particularly well suited for harsh conditions and wet environments. Leatherman has chosen to use this steel in the ARC to give our users the best possible cutting performance on the best multi-tool we’ve ever made.
EDGE RETENTION: Stays sharper longer, so you can rely on a safe and effective knife blade.
TOUGHNESS: Resistance to chipping and breaking under stress. As the most-used feature of a multi-tool, it needs to withstand hard, daily use.
CORROSION RESISTANCE: How well the knife blade can stand up to the elements, to moisture, humidity, and salt.
DLC COATING: The diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating on the blade adds extra corrosion resistance. The blade and handles use DLC coating for superior durability and corrosion resistance.

2. EASY TO USE WITH FREE TECHNOLOGY

Built on the FREE® technology platform, ARC uses magnets so features open easily (no fingernails required), move smoothly, and lock into place with a satisfying click. FREE makes a brand new tool feel like an old favorite. No need to break it in. It’s smooth from the start. Best of all, every feature—even the pliers—can be opened with one hand.

3. CUSTOMIZABLE BIT DRIVER

The first tool on the FREE® platform to use this highly-requested feature. A fan favorite, replaceable bit drivers extends the capability of any multi-tool, so of course we included it on our newest premium ARC. Because when it comes to getting the job done, a bit driver can make all the difference between “close enough” and “exactly right.”

4. THUMB STUD

Not only does the ARC include the highest quality knife blade in multi-tool history, but it’s also easy to deploy. Open the blade easily and smoothly with one hand, thanks to the thumb stud.
