Leatherman surge for work, leatherman arc for after work adventures. I never thought I would be a multitool guy but damn they are so handy and the arc fits so nicely in the pocket! Obsidian is nice but no point in upgrading the arc I actually like the colour scheme of the OG arc compared to the all black obsidian. Thanks for the video!
Leatherman big collector got super tool , OHT tool , Tread , Raptor , Crunch , Mut , Charge +TTI , Bit driver , 4 Bit kit , Blade sharpener , Ratchet driver have not got the ARC but it on my list .Thanks for the great video ,,,
My edc is wet wipes, lip balm, several extremely sharp knives varying in size , nail clippers, card holder, bottle opener, maxipedition pouch, keys and phone. I'm good.
*100% ONG NO DAM REASON THAT LEATHERMAN ARC DOES NOT HAVE W FILE/SAW EXCHANGER AND A EMERGENCY SERRATED BLADE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*
You are quick having a video of this up! Thank you so much. Can you see if the wire cutters have been improved any from the original ARC? Just wondering if they made any adjustments for this iteration.

My arc obsidian came in today and the sheath button broke lol. just bought my son for this Christmas the black swiss spirit x with his name and his brigade on it all from factory the swiss just better quality and feels great in the hands smooth, arc feels like a cheese grater. Yes i odered a nylon sheath tonite to replace my broken one.Would i buy it again hell yes . I like the arc
I lost my Free p4 and ordered this as a replacement. I think the p4 is a little more useful, but it isn't that much different. I've had the Obsidian a couple of days now and I'm happy with it.
I think the additional cost has to be from the sheath, its the only thing that makes sense. I Havn't finished watching but is the sheath made in USA at least?
I don't like Magnets in a multi tool. It seems like if you work around metal shavings, it would be a hassle to deal with. I personally carry my Leatherman Rebar. I know Leatherman is going in a different direction from their waves, Surges, and Rebars. But I'd like Leatherman to use the Wave frame to put in different tool sets for specific trades. I actually "downgraded" from a wave + because I never had use for the little eyeglasses screw driver. I just think it would be cool if the Leatherman company talked to various Tradesmen to make the Wave Electrician, plumber, welder, carpenter, and ect. I feel like Leatherman's new products are aimed at collectors. I'm not really saying there's anything necessarily wrong with that. It just seems like a departure from why they initially made multi tools for.
Can confirm, it sucks. I work in a dirty ass ford assembly plant. Metal dust gathers on EVERYTHING! I sold the tool and went back to my trusty ol skeletool.
Bro this is my exact setup soon, Leatherman Arc Obsidian and Wuben X2 Pro, was trying to contain my excitement and then you posted this damn video now Im checking tracking numbers every 10 seconds haha!
im want it as a replacement for my wave+. i have had many of the "base model" multi-tools and i want to make the switch to something more premium. i think this would be a great addition the tool bag but that price.....
I have the titanium charge, I have to say I love the blade shape of this Arc , but lets be real do we really need a magna cut blade, we don't use it as much as we think .
Possibly but I used it heavy as my companion tool while grinding brick, hanging dry wall, a door, and installing weather strip. All before filming. Still looks decent. Even with the abrasive brick and jamming it between dry way mortar
It's very expensive, but ngl I want it lol. Not gonna be now though. Also, is that the Wuben X2 Pro I see there?? Can't wait to hear your thoughts on it!
I’m sure it’s nice. But it isn’t for me. I can’t justify the $230 cost of the standard Arc. Let alone an additional $45 for a different colour way. I have a P4, Surge, Wave, and Charge. But when it came to pick a tool to carry at work, I took my Victorinox SwissTool.
I’d rather purchase 6 2024 Bond Redux in Cerakote and add titanium clips to them than 1 magnetic, modular tool, crap geometry short super steel bladed overpriced tech bro tool. It’s just like my opinion man.🤘😎🤷♂️
STAY AWAY from Leatherman. I paid them $240 for an Arc and paid extra to engrave my name on it, only to get the item and it looks like the engraving was done by a 3 year old. When I called them, they were snooty and only offered the $12 engraving fee back. The item is horrible looking with the engraving, as is their customer service.

Always thought leatherman’s are getting too pricey but yet we drop the same if not more on just a knife! 😂
I was just thinking that. I have a CRKT magnacut knife in my pocket and it's $225 knife only.
My edc is wet wipes, lip balm, several extremely sharp knives varying in size , nail clippers, card holder, bottle opener, maxipedition pouch, keys and phone. I'm good.
Wet wipes? Duheck? Nail clippers?? Bruh
@@Whatyoutakinbout whats in yours then bruh, a full tool kit to build toy cars?
Naw son. I actually like to keep my torch,cutter with a light for my cigars. And my sig young buck. Have fun wiping stuff down mom.
@@Whatyoutakinbout Well, well, well. Looks like someone's got a whole tool kit for their adult hobbies. Impressive.
I like the leather sheath, that was a nice touch
leatherman surge is still king 👑

My surge has been put through the wringer and it’s still going strong! I can’t wait to see how the arc compares.
Nah rebar is the price to performance king
@@simonh2011 can’t go wrong with a Leatherman! Best multi tools I’ve ever used
This is a real video. I appreciate you man! Much love 🤙🏽

I know @maxlvledc talked about the cutters on the original. But I never owned the original

They didn't even bother to address the issues with the arc. They just gave it a facelift and charge 50$ more.
It’s ridiculous! Leatherman has lost it!

I’m still rocking a Leatherman fuse that I’ve had since I was a kid lol it might be time for me to upgrade to an arc
I think the additional cost has to be from the sheath, its the only thing that makes sense. I Havn't finished watching but is the sheath made in USA at least?
Yup it's made in the USA
And technically there's more coating whether PVD or DLC on this tool.
@MarineX ok, that's fair at least...still I would have preferred they put their effort into an all 420HC version in plain stainless for $150
@@maxlvledc that would have been extra smart. But I'll carry it a few weeks straight with no knife and see how I like it
Dude, you alway have the hot products before everybody else. Impressive!
What type of leather pouch is that you carry
Dayum! Looks sweet all blackout
I still carry my 40th anniversary tool every day - so no need to upgrade, but this colorway is dope

If I ever go full minimalist and sell all my multitools(I have over 20 bags and I have a tool in everyone) I will buy an arc, until then Im good.
What lay flat pouch is that in your video??
The Nutsac Commander. I talk more about it here. ruclips.net/video/3ZnZZ458zS4/видео.htmlsi=GiNOq3EnOlOyF2uL
Mine arrives tomorrow.
yup USA made. love my Obsidian
how is the wire cutter? The arc's wire cutter had issue, wonder if this obsidian arc has the same issue
I think they improved it.

Isn’t every scratch just going to remove the coating? Doesn’t seem like it’s going to wear as well as the standard version.
Possibly but I used it heavy as my companion tool while grinding brick, hanging dry wall, a door, and installing weather strip. All before filming. Still looks decent. Even with the abrasive brick and jamming it between dry way mortar
@@MarineX ahh there you go, thanks for the update! I bet it looks even better with some wear on it.
when a multitool turns into a status symbol/fashion statement smh
Awesome video! Where did you get the military discount? The official website sadly doesn't do it for limited drops :(
Cabela's and Scheels
That's weekend multitool 😂
This makes me want to pick up a free p4 for some reason…even though I already have an arc
Should I get the arc as my first and only Leatherman?
Easy answer, no if you also carry a pocket knife. I'd get a wave+, or charge plus.
It's very expensive, but ngl I want it lol. Not gonna be now though. Also, is that the Wuben X2 Pro I see there?? Can't wait to hear your thoughts on it!

It looks much better in these videos than it does on their site. They need to get a better product photography person.
At last 🙏
I’d rather purchase 6 2024 Bond Redux in Cerakote and add titanium clips to them than 1 magnetic, modular tool, crap geometry short super steel bladed overpriced tech bro tool.
It’s just like my opinion man.🤘😎🤷♂️
Wrong. We only die once, but we live twice.
You answered ya own question you carry in pouch so colour means nothing
I asked no question.
STAY AWAY from Leatherman. I paid them $240 for an Arc and paid extra to engrave my name on it, only to get the item and it looks like the engraving was done by a 3 year old. When I called them, they were snooty and only offered the $12 engraving fee back. The item is horrible looking with the engraving, as is their customer service.
