I think that the ARC should be replaced by the Charge or even the Wave the Arc hasn't been out long enough to even make a list really I would also like to know where their info came from
Received this via email from Leatherman! I suspect they base the results on sale, maybe product registration or expected use by just guessing THE LISTThe Best Multi-tool We’ve Ever Made: ARCThe International Best Seller: Wave+The Best Multi-Tool for Outdoor Adventure: SignalThe Best for Hard Work: Super Tool 300 The Best Minimalist EDC: Skeletool CXBest Multi-purpose Knife: FREE K4Best Pocket Problem Solver: FREE T4Best Trauma Shears: Raptor RescueBest Multi-tool for DIY: RebarBest Mini Multi-Tool: MicraI find it of interest, the SuperTool 300 for HARD WORK and the Rebar for DO IT YOURSELFERS!Thought I would share, just in case someone is looking as to the best to buy or if a member wants to fill a specialty purpose gap in there tool kit…
Yeah, the list looks like a mix of hard data and marketing. "International Best Seller" is likely from actual data, but "Best Pocket Problem Solver" is pure marketing.One thing I agree with is the Arc being the best multitool they have ever made. In fact, it's the best multitool made, period. The material and design is at least a generation ahead of anything the competition is producing.
Butttt the surge blade exchanger is genuine genius, why oh why would you leave that off the Arc? And the serrated blade, anyone that uses a multi tool for DIY uses both types of blades pe and se
Well, In my eyes the SURGE is a brick! Nice gadgety features, to much so for a retrieve deploy and use type solution. The ST300 is complete, not bits to loose or blades/file to exchange. The REBAR, its little brother is the same. I have used the Wave for work and on more than one occasion I had to back track my steps just because my driver bit went missing. The REBAR, never failed me. I have never held an ARC, at my stage in life, likely I will not, besides the ROI for that item as a tool will never occur. My ROI on the ST300 ($40) and REBAR ($35) have been smart options.

The Arc was a revelation for me due to how it differed from other Leatherman multitools. Different enough to be interesting in good ways and I also believe that it’s the best of Leatherman’s current offerings.
We can then, MOSTLY agree to disagree!I can afford an ARC, just can not justify the expense!
