Reviews

Quality, well made unit

"I really like the quality and tools included with the unit. It is still taking some getting used to, having been a Gerber user for 25 years. The “interior” tools (screwdrivers) are hard to extract. The scissors are good, but not great. Knife is excellent and pliers are good. The sheath (separate purchase) is just OK. It could fit better and feel more secure."

— Chris R. (4/5)

Great tool, terrible finish

"The tool has been handy, the quick release great but the talos finish is terrible. Litterally started coming off on day one. Get the stainless one instead. Also had to exchange the original one I ordered because the blade had a huge scratch out of the box. The customer service is also sub par, waiting days for replies on my emails. Having to call in myself for resolutions. Being hung up on. Not a great experience at all."

— Eric S. (3/5)

Best ever!

"Totally impressed! Second ever Leatherman I’ve owned and probably won’t ever need another. Built like a tank…versatile… and a great selection of tools. I opted for the front and back imprint and it is amazing and very unique! The price was higher than I thought but the quality is well worth it!! Very pleased… carry it daily and it is used often! Buy It!"

— Donald R. (5/5)

Leatherman Arc

"Love the tool. But the pocket clip has already lost the retention needs a better upgraded one I’m afraid I’m gonna loose it."

— Chris D. (5/5)

Arc review

"Amazing how Leatherman continues to out do themselves. I have collected Leatherman Tools and knives since there OG original and am proud to add the new Arc to my collection"

— Kevin M. (5/5)

Useful when it works

"Bought this brand new in stores a couple weeks ago. Been using this daily since. Decided to finally test out the crimp today May 1st, 2026 and it jammed. Not convenient at all and definitely did not expect this from a top of the line Leatherman."

— Robert (3/5)

Great American made tool. I'm

"Great American made tool. I'm a 25 year I. B. E. W local 11 Union Electrician this tool is high quality and very useful. Light weight with great utility. I have a Surge as well but this replaces my expensive pocket knife. If you are on the fence just go for it you will be glad you did."

— peter s. (5/5)

"Absolute workhorse of a tool! It is on my hip every day and it is used. . . a lot. I love this thing and I will be using it for, hopefully, several decades to come."

— John (5/5)

Leatherman is the lifetime tool

"I have 4 total. Bought these as graduation presents for my son and daughter. They love them Likely will become Leatherman customers for life."

— Kelly H. (5/5)

Leatherman Arc

"Coming from three previous LM. rev, sidekick and skeletool. This is by far the best. Wish I had kept up with leathermans previous releases. I do however wish the arc had a serrated blade vs the file or awl. The arc is actually a very comfortable tool to use."

— James D. (5/5)
