The NEW Leatherman ARC Multi-Tool Boasts 20 Tools in 1
Patrik Orcutt 10.27.23

The history of Leatherman, the iconic American multi-tool company, is a testament to the ingenuity and entrepreneurial spirit of its founder, Timothy S. Leatherman. In 1983, Timothy Leatherman introduced the world to the first-ever folding multi-tool, the Leatherman PST (Pocket Survival Tool), which revolutionized the way individuals approached everyday tasks and outdoor adventures. Inspired by the idea of having a portable toolbox in the palm of one’s hand, Leatherman’s invention quickly gained popularity for its versatility, durability, and quality craftsmanship. Over the decades, the company expanded its product line, creating a wide range of multi-tools that have become indispensable for adventurers, DIY enthusiasts, and professionals alike. Leatherman’s unwavering commitment to innovation and quality has made its name synonymous with multi-tool excellence, a legacy that endures to this day. Recently, Leatherman has launched the new Leatherman ARC multi-tool and the spin this time is that its a premium tool with even higher quality parts and materials then normal.

“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, removable pocket clip, four-pocket nylon sheath, and eight double-ended bits, the durable, practical ARC sets the standard for now and the future for premium multi-tools. We’re proud to stand behind every product that leaves our factory in Portland, Oregon. That’s why we offer our 25-year warranty, so you can be confident your Leatherman lasts for a lifetime of use.”
