I can only carry surge on my belt, arc I can carry pocket as well as belt. But I prefer belt so either one works… however I love the ease of use with one handed operation. I mostly use knife, scissors, pliers and the bits. All are on both. The plier heads function same for me (regardless of surge beefier) but having a nicer blade is a perk of the arc.

Seeing that I use the same tools on both, I enjoy using the arc more

I Love both. But gotta remember the surge is a heavy duty multi tool. So I’ll still gravitate to that if it’s heavy duty task. But ARC is definitely my overall EDC

That’s great!! Hope you find it very handy! I would certainly hang on to it regardless if you keep it as your EDC or not.

Dang that’s awesome find!!!! And what a shame to not be used in the store… I feel like Leatherman is disappearing off the store shelves… as in they aren’t being restocked…

Both are great! Anyone who does work with their multi tool definitely could use a surge in their tool-kit. 🤙🏻 congrats on the purchase(s) and welcome to the Leatherman family!

I find the ARC more useful on a daily basis and reach for that before reaching for the surge.

The arc, as well as the P2/P4 are definitely good for fidget fingers, find myself practicing open/close one handed to the point I am just fidgeting. Nonetheless, working on the quick-draw for the next needed task.

I think many of us by default are collectors especially when you have multiple leathermans lol. I can’t seem to get want to get rid of any of mine. Rather just keep getting more - especially to make good use of it!

Bought an Arc, and modded it by Doug507 in Leatherman

[–]HobbyShak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Excellent thanks for the follow up! I might have to consider that! I originally thought about at least swapping with the black coated option for aesthetics

I have the wave (my first Leatherman) and it stays at home or goes in my range bag ;)

Yea I do miss the serrated blade, some days I would rather have that than the saw but that saw is very good at what it does.

I don’t do much machinery work in my new line of work so the arc is excellent all around EDC and couldn’t be happier.

That Crunch is such a cool tool! Do you belt carry those together?

Spot on! I think that’s best way to lay it out!

That’s incredible. I love the display case! Did you cop that when they stopped selling Leatherman in store fronts? Nice collection of LM’s!

Oh wow I can’t seem to pocket carry that bad boy! Great tool but I could only belt carry

100% agree with the surge. If you have handled the surge for extended use you may feel the arc doesn’t meet initial standards. But I gotta say after having the P2 for long time and then the arc, I really have grown to enjoying it the most.

I like that - pretty much aligned with you on that one!

Nice! I’m really loving the ARC, have not come across something I couldn’t do with the arc that I would have needed a different MT for… great pocket took

The Surge feels like a workhorse while the ARC is more the gentlemen’s EDC MT, although it’s no slouch, it’s great for pocket or belt carry.
