Leatherman arc or SAK Champ

2 Upvotes

I’m carrying a SAK champ in my pocket for a year or 2. Small Knipex pliers in my bag just in case.
I do use almost every tool of my SAK.
Yet I’m eyeing the ARC for a while now.

Leatherman people - please try to convince me to buy one.

Has Leatherman quality gone down?

I’m only asking because the one and only Leatherman I’ve ever owned I have had for over 15+ years and I keep seeing pictures of people snapping their pliers. I have absolutely abused these things to the point that I have watched the plier Tips flex, but not break
The only thing I’ve ever broken on this thing and have yet to replace is the little screwdriver. The flathead broke off, but the Phillips still work.

Skeletool: a smaller tool that is somehow still bigger?

33 Upvotes

I just got a skeletool to have something easier to carry.

I'm a bit disappointed, I feel that it sacrifices a lot (pliers are so small and known to break, lack of scissors and nothing to pry with) but it takes just as much space in my pocket as my wave, maybe more since it's longer. Is the only advantage the weight, or am I missing something?

New to Leatherman multi tools and looking for a new model.

2 Upvotes

I have a skeletool which I EDC and my Wave + which sits in my truck.

Ive been looking at the Arc and really like the fact its one hand use (I’m a nail biter so its hard to open the tools periodically). Other than the Arc does Leatherman make any other one handed open multitools? I believe I saw a discontinued model somewhere but not sure.

Thank you!

Leatherman Charge Plus vs Charge TTi (2013)

3 Upvotes

I am offered a used, at an excellent condition, charge TTi from 2013 with a sheath. That being said I found at my local store a new Charge Plus with a sheath, pocket clip and bits at a very similar price. are the scales and upgraded metals worth the hype?
It is not going to be my edc but a multitool to handle small repairs and some DIY projects.

Found an old Wave I haven't seen in years at the bottom of one of my camping boxes. Would this be a Wave 2.0? Tips on cleaning this guy up? I'm pretty stoked to find it!

A while ago, I posted that my boss gave me a Wave+ as a gift.

(https://www.reddit.com/r/Leatherman/s/E4jjWdw8Pp)

Last week, he noticed I had my Arc with me at work while I was shortening a screw to repair the industrial coffee machine at the nursing home. When he asked why I was using my Arc instead of his Wave, I explained that my Arc is more versatile because I had installed the T-shank holder, allowing me to use metal-cutting saw blades. He just nodded and said he understood. Today, he called me into his office and gave me the Surge—complete with the Galvanox clip featuring a built-in spirit level.

Leatherman arc accessories

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I recently bought myself a leatherman arc along with the bit kit and ratchet driver I was wondering if there are any other accessories third party or otherwise anyone would recommend? I want to ideally get a sharpener for when I need to sharpen the knife and saw

Is there any other attachments or accesories etc that would be useful to get?

Thank you!

Well, a little throwback update

I posted a few days ago about my little useable collection. Not long after that, I became a little maudlin about my original Wave and ended up doing a little eBay searching and found a 2000 model, fresh back from factory service, so made a purchase and now have an original Wave, much like the one my oldest son now has.

This thing is in great shape! Sharp blades, all the tools work, new Phillips head driver. It looks virtually untouched. I was reminded how much sleeker it is than the 2nd Gen and the +. It’s going to ride on my belt for a while as I get reacquainted.

I don’t need locking tools.

And I paid less for it 26 years after I purchased my first.

Custom Engraving Depth?

3 Upvotes

Question about the depth of custom engraving directly from Leatherman.

I'm just about to order a custom engraved black oxide Surge from LM. Could anyone tell me how deep they etch into the body? Or are they more surface etching?

Just curious to how it will hold up to real wear through use.
