THANK YOU! love seeing all the different things you can get to expand the multi tool usefulness. I ordered the Volty Switch now. Great videoes keep up the great work.
Just wanted to mention you can go down to a Oriellys autoparts and pick up a very similar 1/4 drive ratchet with a case and bits for $14. all i did was use a angle grinder to cut/shave it to fit the Leatherman
Hours of fun. If im being honest though a small tool box with a careful selection of proper tools gets jobs done easier. The multis are great when youve got nothing else and they are fun.
I do like the fact there is 1/4 inch parts because we can use these in pretty much any multitool with 1/4 " adapters or with actual bit drivers. I also enjoy the fact people have made parts like this for either leatherman or other tools because making a kit with these allows some nice versatility with compact space. That's why I do like modular slots with multitools. I bet if there is a 1/4" slot with some retention possibilities like saws, brushes, and other tools can be made because there will be no reason to be limited. As for the electrical tool this is neat and the make me wish more for proper electrician multitools.
A battery tester & electrical finder - such wonderful mod. In ours we use the laser pointer, it also reads temperature. The other tools basically standard nevertheless great additions. The pick/scriber & brush are great cleaning tool for firearms & vehicle electrical connections. There is an adaptor that's available & fit on that ratchet enable usage of non proprietary Leatherman bits & extras. Extends capability - that's why we enjoy watching your show. Great to see a master at work. May we suggest using magnets within the sheath so there's not rattling? It secures those additions. Marvelous show as always. Cheers cobber from Australia.
I have the Volty Switch and mine wouldn't fit the Arc when closed due to the retaining clip under the bit holder. Did you find a solution for that or do you just carry it separate from the Arc?
I don't think this will happen right now. the surge and the wave are old designs the arc is new. So they either have to make an original design or use what they copied and add improvements. But I understand so much the cost problem of the free series from Leatherman...
Very true but when you're in the attic and just need a tool for a single operation it's nice to have the tool on your belt instead of climbing out and back to the truck
leatherman is hands down the worst most over priced company there is they completely against what there customers want and they just discontinue things with no for warning of any kind they are a total joke never give them any money
You know! In all honesty, this is a joke compared to the Diacamping dl30 in gold scales i just received, I have both in hands, if I was to rely on one on a stranded island, im taking the dl30, too many options and the 32.00 dollar price tag is unbelievable! Don't get wrong, I like my 240.00 leatherman..
I can't EDC my phone on my multitool; does that defeat the purpose of the phone, or the multitool? Same question for my clothes, glasses, wallet, car, lunch, wife, etc.
The Volty is really cool. But, US$42 for $5 worth of parts is INSANE !!! Not at all impressed with the other tools either. Sometimes a huge heavy plug in handle makes a simple tool worse ! makes
I don't know about the cost of the parts, but typically people want to get paid for the time they spent designing, developing, prototyping, perfecting, marketing, producing, and selling their products, and then on top of that, will attempt to price the product in such a way as to maximize and balance purchasing and profits, to get paid fairly based on the market for similar items with similar functionality, to get paid fairly for the convenience provided for assembling those ”$5 worth of parts" as you said (as not everyone has the prowess/skillset/desire to do so), and to justify the work they put into the steps previously mentioned. Even if the associated costs of doing those steps were $0 per unit (which they most definitely are not), a 700% mark-up is not atypical in the current economic climate for relatively cheap specialty consumer goods.
@@TurkishKS I'm in Electronics manufacturing. So you're lecturing the wrong person..... lol In Electronics, a reasonable profit margin is 30%. This should be under $10. It's twice the price of a decent REAL multimeter 🤪 !
@@edwardfletcher7790 so as someone in electronics manufacturing you should know better than anyone the amount of time that goes into a self developed, niche product that has no competitors and gets made in someones free time ! id have charged more.
@@fufimi6660 Of course you'd have charged more, you're a Welder ! You're the poster child of overpaid, underskilled workers ! LMAO Perhaps you should stick to your field since you're not even treading water here.....
@@edwardfletcher7790 I lectured no one. I simply provided you with real, verifiable information, that you chose to hand wave away, with the implied claim that "in Electronics manufacturing" somehow intimates to me that you are an authority on the things I chose to share, as is your prerogative in our chosen venue: a RUclips comments section. Feel free to enjoy your sense of superiority.
$230, Really. Its worth about half that. Besides, I wont buy any more Leatherman tools. I bought a multitool that has a manufacturing flaw with it, and they refuse to fix or warranty it. Im done with them.
Really? You must be leaving some context out of your comment. I work with about 25 people who carry leatherman multi tools on them daily. I have seen at least ten multi tools sent back to leatherman for various reasons, and I have personally sent three in myself for repairs over the past 20 years etc. a few of them were clearly misuse of the tool that resulted in negligent damage including a bent frame of charge tti that I ran over with my truck… every single time leatherman either repaired the tool, or in cases where the tool was a legacy model no longer made, the company replaced it with a newer higher priced model. No questions asked in all instances. Don’t believe the haters who would rather carry a SOG because they don’t want to pay the premium price for a premium tool…. However, that all being said, if your experience is genuine and you’re not leaving something out, I would recommend sending it back in a second time and I would bet you’d have a different result. Maybe you just got an employee that was having a bad day.
That 711l ratchet is gold!! Especially for shelves and furniture
Agreed!

@@Jerry-f6u1v Thanks!!
That volt tester is the coolest thing ever! Thanks for letting us know about it.
Any time!
Came here after seeing it on reddit now I need one

Great tip!
All hell will break loose once that patent on those bits expires😂
Hours of fun. If im being honest though a small tool box with a careful selection of proper tools gets jobs done easier. The multis are great when youve got nothing else and they are fun.
Multi tools are great for when your not even at work or near the tool shed 😊
is there any micro wave oven that can be attached to the leatherman arc
Okay… that Volty thing just became a must have toy! 😆
It's really neat!
I was going to say the same. It's super tiny and it does quite a lot without resorting to your dmm
That's some cool stuff. Enjoyed the video.
Thanks!
looks awsome! but i heard the pliers can break even just cutting a coat hanger?
Not sure about the pliers but the replaceable cutters definitely do.
So I have the black extension/ sight tool from leatherman and it accepts 1/4 bits.
Do you think the Volty will also work with the Daicamping DL30?
It should, I'll have to test it out.

I agree, more electrician multitools please! I wish the SOG Paladin line were still sold.

Great idea! Thanks.
laser pointer? 👀👀
The rachet/other version is good enough to be stand alone tool. You don’t need a leatherman handle.
I have the Volty Switch and mine wouldn't fit the Arc when closed due to the retaining clip under the bit holder. Did you find a solution for that or do you just carry it separate from the Arc?
I have the updated version which closes fine and fits under the clip. I'll try my other version tonight.
🆗 my mind is absolutely blown 🤯
cool❤❤
Really don't think I would get the stuff. ❤
The pick is out of stock :/
👍🏼cool stuff
I will wait for the Daicamping version with 1/4 bits for under $50. The Arc just cost too much
I don't think this will happen right now. the surge and the wave are old designs the arc is new. So they either have to make an original design or use what they copied and add improvements.
But I understand so much the cost problem of the free series from Leatherman...
you could...get a job
@@David-vb8tg I got a good one
IDK. Sometimes it’s too much work to use the Leatherman in these ways…
Very true but when you're in the attic and just need a tool for a single operation it's nice to have the tool on your belt instead of climbing out and back to the truck
"Mr. Fidget" Kincaid😁
Yes indeed, LoL!
If those attachments are not locking in then they are useless
Kkkk

Btw, I grabbed the dl30 in Gray also because it was such a bargain at 30 dollars, what a gem..
@larrya197140 I dont want to Daicamping on a stranded island.
@@GeertSawek lol!
Nice! That is a pretty amazing bargain!
Cool tools but anything you cant edc on your multitool defeats the purpose of it
I can't EDC my phone on my multitool; does that defeat the purpose of the phone, or the multitool? Same question for my clothes, glasses, wallet, car, lunch, wife, etc.

Leatherman is over priced and no better than Chinese knock off multi tools .. Leatherman has lost its good name and gone from great to greedy ..
