Great set of options. The one that fits over the flat head/ bottle opener is the most versatile since it will fit pretty much every multi tool on the market. Even the ones without bit drivers at all
I agree!
Leatherman makes a ratcheting extender that I quite like, and it does fit standard size bits.
The 711L ratchet driver made for the leatherman bit exchanger has been my go to to support standard quarter inch hex bits.
Sounds good!! I really like these micro ratchets that seem to be becoming more widely available.
I still can't get over the can openers on these things? Who uses them? If that wasn't there they could fit a full size bit holder in.
They dont want to use full size bits because they get money from their proprietary bits
Good point!
@@hvacbudget8600 True about the proprietary bits. But other manufacturers chop and change the design, but always include the can opener. They must be in high demand in some countries
I’ve used the can/bottle opener many times
@SlamJamBlades Bottle opener, yes. But that's on another tool anyway. How many cans have you needed to open and not been in the vicinity of a proprietary one?
Thank you, great options for 1/4 capable.
Great information! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Love the last one the adapter that fits over the flat. It kinda reminds me of the cheap ones that fit over the flat that often come with cheap multitools except much better
It is cool. It feels much better made than most adapters but we'll have to see how it holds up over time.
Very good and helpful video!
Thanks for watching!
Some pricing info would have been really helpful, the last one seems the strongest and best value to me 👍
Beautiful tool but the Surge is still way better due to the t-shank. On Arc you cant sharpen the blade with the tool's file! And the saw will be useless against live wet wood, with no way to repkace it with a proper saw blade!
Anyway, this seems more like a collector's tool.
I better keep my Surges and buy a dedicated magnacut folder (but i wont, my 4MaxScout surpass any magnacut folder).
Anyway, the tool looks very well, and the presentation too!
The Surge is great!
You misses out the leatherman ratchet bit driver,
That last one looks like it's more centered than the stock bit driver lol.
How are you liking the arc's weight ? I'm seriously contemplating picking one up to replace the dl30 and relegate the dl30 to the tractor . My thought is since the arc is a couple ounces lighter it may be nicer to pocket carry it depending on its dimensions . One more question besides the weight , how is the pocket feel.
I like it! It is definitely a good tool!
Do you have any concerns about stripping it out?
@@dougbrown7150 How do you mean? As in bending the tools? Rounding out the screwdriver on the Arc?
@@hvacbudget8600breaking the ratchet mechanism
Does the volty bit still work with the arc? Or does it not work because the tools are on the outside vs inside?
I'll have to check. I plan to buy the updated version. I only have the first version.
Any good places to hide a toothpick? I keep one under my file on my wave plus
I haven't seen many options for that yet.
Last one
They still didn't add the adjustable plier screw...
Unfortunately no.
I carry leatherman bit adapter ratchet and 71L over 2 years plus, but still prefer full sized ratchet screwdriver.. All edc just seat nicely on my pouch..
Very nice!
@@hvacbudget8600 I don't carry full size for everyday but when you need your tools, bang for emergency yes.. All mini/compact size always around you, that's make you problem easier to completed the task.. I always carry pair of ratchet one is leatherman, another one is 71L slotted with dpx hest urban and sog powerpint.. plus extra grips knipex cobra 125mm and knipex pliers wrench 150mm.. go anywhere without worry to fix loose nuts or whatever 😉
@@mohdzaudikhasni8829 That sounds great!
Does Leatherman actually have a reason legitimate reason for using the proprietary bit driver anymore? If the flat ones fit in a standard ¼", why not use a standard driver and keep selling the flat ones for saving space? At the moment it just seems like Apple's (late) lightning connector; an expensive (even on Alliexpress, $51AUD/$33USD for 1 bitkit) ecosystem trap that requires extra dongles for use with standard.
Speaking of the Aliexpress and non-standard bit sizes, d'you reckon the flat bits on the little hexagon keychain tool (not the snowflake shaped ones), that are all over online shopping sites, would work in the leatherman bit driver or would they require ... modification?
Nextool's Captain multi tool has bits that some work in the Leatherman bit holder. Some also grind down double sided bits. As far as those other flat bits, I've seen some work some not as well. If you get some let me know how they work out!
A quarter inch bit holder would never fold into a Leatherman handle unless it was obscenely thick.
@@yamasail Funny you should say that. 12 hours before this comment MaxLvLEDC did a video of him doing just that (and apparently voiding his warranty?)
th-cam.com/video/RVb49LBPVj4/w-d-xo.html
@@yamasail There is a mod that replaces the flat bit holder with a quarter inch bit holder however it only fits if you get rid of the can opener: th-cam.com/video/RVb49LBPVj4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=_jtg7KwOIDzhsZsZ&t=957
I think the whole tool should be made out of out of magnacut steel knife. Imagine the pilers made out of magnacut , how about the saw should been made out magnacut
10 ways to make the arc less weak - stick with the surge 😂
LoL!!
Let's see a reviewer use, or try to use, the can opener.
👍🏼
Cowabunga.!
So you spend $250 (after tax) for a multi tool...made in USA...but you're going to quibble over the price of their ¼ " adapter...kinda made me laugh
You probably have a point there.
Seriously, that‘s very unsmart by Leatherman in 2024 for tools over the $200 mark. Competitioners offer 1/4 bit adapters onboard gor a fraction of the price. Loose the Arc + extra accessories you are screwed. Lose a $40 tool, sheit but ok. Leatherman is going to create a lot of value problems with their strategy in my opinion. I‘ll never invest in an Arc snd buy Leathermans only used. But thatös me.
I totally understand!
I don’t get how people are getting these so many days before the rest of us. It’s gonna be a week before it’s even released. That’s bs.
REI accidentally sold several before they were supposed to.
No.
Actually add to the Multitool kit VIMTools RFB400K + a set of 1/4Bits you like + and a set of ¼ sockets. using the multitool as a screwdriver sucks most of the times. just don't wait Leatherman retarded engineers. Provide your own.
1 because you have to pass through. And a multitool is too much to pass through most of the times.
2 because you need the right shapes especially with torx screws, allen screws, metric allen screws
3 because you need to replace exchange bits with other tools and so on over time, bits will not last forever and have to be replaced.
4 and most important: because fixings are made by 2 parts so you need 2 devices fastening or undoing something most of the time if plier retain the nut or the part the ratchet fasten the screw or the bolt...
I was going to say that.Got to this to late,but dang it you said it all and said it correctly...good on you.All the best.
