See the ARC in action
Watch how the magnetic tools flick open and snap shut, and what each one does.
What makes the ARC different
One hand, every tool
Leatherman's FREE® system uses magnets instead of nail nicks. Every tool, even the pliers, opens with a push of your thumb and closes with a firm click.
That matters when your other hand is holding the thing you're fixing: a loose cable, a bicycle chain, a tent line in the wind.
The first multi-tool with MagnaCut® steel
MagnaCut is a modern powder steel built to hold an edge for a long time while resisting rust. On the ARC it's hardened to 60–63 HRC, harder than the 420HC steel on most multi-tools.
You sharpen less often, and it copes well with humid monsoons and coastal air.
Built for real fixes
A large and a small bit driver handle everything from cupboard hinges to spectacle screws. A diamond-coated file, a wood and metal file, and full-size spring-action scissors all open from the outside, so you don't have to unfold the tool.
Add the Leatherman Bit Kit to turn it into a pocket screwdriver set.
Made to be carried for decades
Every tool except the plier head locks open, so nothing folds onto your fingers mid-task. The frame is stainless steel with a hard DLC coating, the pocket clip is removable, and Leatherman backs it with a 25-year limited warranty.

Talos
Handles finished in Cerakote®, a tough ceramic-based coating with a distinctive look that wears well over years of carry.

We manage the claim

The warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship. Normal wear, misuse, and lost or stolen tools are not covered. Keep your LightMen invoice, as it's your proof of purchase.
Keep it working like new
Clean
Rinse in warm, soapy water, then dry it fully with the tools open.
Oil
Put a drop of light oil on each pivot and work the tools open and shut a few times.
Check the magnets

Sharpen
MagnaCut is hard steel. Diamond or ceramic sharpeners work best, and you won't need them often.

I recently bought the Leatherman Arc, and I'm really happy with it. It's a compact, durable multi-tool with everything you need – pliers, screwdrivers, and a magnacut blade. It works great for everyday tasks. Plus, the delivery was super fast! I got it much quicker than expected. Highly recommend the Leatherman Arc for its quality and fast shipping!

Rajiv was brilliant. Pre ordered the Arc and delivered as per requirements. I’ve interacted and purchased from Rajiv several times and each time has been a great experience.

Leatherman has finally listened to customer feedback and come up with a redesign and complete tool which looks slick and screams perfection and style. I'm really thankful to lightmen India to get this awesome too on time and with a great price and service. Lightmen India never disappoints. Quality over quantity. Looking forward for the next purchase. The tool is a little on the expensive side in general but it's something to own in this lifetime especially if you're new to leatherman. It's a triple major go.

The Arc brings together everything that the free version was best known for and also adds what was missing to make it a perfect Multi tool.
It’s high quality, great while gripping in the hand. The arc has done away with all the tools that you had but never used and replaced it with ones which will see constant use around the house. This is what makes it highly usable and I find myself reaching for it all the time.
The free magnetic technology which helps to use the tool one handed is amazing. All tools open quickly and go back in with a satisfying click.
The new blade is sharp and will retain an edge for a long time.
The bit adaptor and the addition of the bit kit with India specific bits (mm) is the best addition to the tool. Perfect for use around the home and in the man cave.
I picked up the ratchet tool additionally and that’s making the arc into the most versatile and usable tool in my kit. I’ve put away my other multitool and made this the primary one to use. I’ve put it through its paces over the last week and it’s living up to its name.
We ship from our Wear-house in Hyderabad within 24 hours of order receipt.
Orders received before 11am are shipped the same day.
