Just went through here and it seems I never officially joined this club. Had my P4 out for a cleaning and lube when the mail arrived.Don’t remember it being as heavy as it feels now. Curious to weigh it vs some of my other tools later. Still a huge fan of the pocket clip though. Makes me want a Bond and wish the Rebar had the same clip.(Image removed from quote.)
I forget if we have an owners club for those Seems like we do though

Poncho, I'm betting you're happy with the arc. And it's doubtful this drives prices up on P4, but if retired, finding a nib example might be tough for collectors.
And once you realise what you’ve been missing, you’ll need a user to go with your NIB collection one.And a backup. I think the P4 is still my favourite and most carried Leatherman.
REI has the free P4 in stock and price at $111.93. Usually prices ending in 0.93 are being phased out. Might be an indication that the p4 is being retired.
Do you prefer it over the arc?
With you saying that and pointing out the reduced price I may or may not have bought one from REI
Im glad the post helped some of you spend your Christmas money. I pulled the trigger on an ARC with medical discount. Got bit kits too. I've been carrying the P2 for a long while now, but I've been collecting charges (not sure why aside from an addiction). I view the P2 as disposable because I think it's replacement value is 75ish. The tip is busted too. Might either save the arc and carry an old Ti that LM replaced the plier head on, or start carrying the arc. But even with the discount it's such an expensive tool to replace if lost. I'm curious if the implements on the arc are as weak as the P2. I find the flat and Philips easily round off vs the charges tough tool set. It'll be interesting to see the new Free lineup. They gotta have something planned with the crunch and alleged P2 / P4 retirements. There's gotta be a tool with serrated blade as LM will need parts to repair P2s.My P2 has early 2019 date code but i doubt itll be collectible. I like the ease of deployment on the Free, but never got used to not having a saw and bit driver. I would've got the P4, but knowing the arc with bit driver was coming, I held off. Merry Holidays
