Glad to see your back. I’ve missed watching your videos.

I work offshore on anchor vessels, and I have enjoyed the Arc immensely. I also did add some customization to mine. I replaced the can opener with a comb from zapwizard. Zapwizard also does the extra bit storage mentioned in the video. I was also debating replacing the micro bit driver as well until I realized how useful it was for pressing the reset button on electrical components and for the security latches on the vessels papertowel dispensers.

My 3 favorite multi-tools are the Leatherman BOND and the small $6 Cabela's multi-tool and the Victorinox JETSETTER.  All 3 of these multi-tools will function with the optional Leatherman removable bit driver !

Use the can opener as a package opener bro it works amazingly

I couldn't agree more about the can opener - why Leatherman replaced their standard multifunction can opener with the single purpose one they have on the whole Free family makes zero sense. I'd also like to see a 3D Phillips like you get on the Rebar/Super Tool because it can accommodate a separate bit adapter and gives you much more reach than the built in one. On the other side of the tool you could have the Free P2/P4 flat head/pry bar/box cutter, an awl, and maybe the package opener (or the Free mini file if they're doing an Arc style P2). Well, that's how I'd do an upgraded P2 or P4 at least. You'd probably want to keep the built in bit drivers for the Arc since people love them as premium features.

I was surprised and happy to see a new video from you. 😀
I wish Leatherman would add the Rev package opener to the Rebar and put the Bond plier head on, then add the holes for the pocket clip. It would be awesome to have it in the Arc, just like you said. I hope they do all of this.

Nah we all want premium SURGE cpm magnacut knife blade

Zap Wizard already makes his “barnacle bit holder” that attached to the screw holes on the outside of the tool.

Fantastic, well thought out ideas on needed improvements or at least options.

I like all your ideas except widening the bottle opener. I prefer to keep it straight shanked to access deep screws.   Your idea for the package opener and wire stripper combo is my favorite that I might have to try to make

The one thing I'd like is if they would eliminate the one hand opening slot cut into the file. It makes the fille easier to open but much worse in use, always catching on whatever you're filing.
I know the entire point of the Free series is to exchange some actual usefullness to gain more ease of use in order to appeal to fidget spinner types, but the file on the wave\surge\charge all open just fine without the cutout and function much better.
Other than that, agree with Ben on the tiny driver holder and dedicated can opener as being not the most....ideal uses of those impliment slots.
Maybe if they ever introduce a 4.5" heavy duty version they can swing the pendulem back into the Surge's direction of functionality over form.

ZapWizard sells a 3D printed version of the proposed bit holder (Barnacle Bit Holder)

I would absolutely LOVE to swap the saw for the serrated blade the P4 has

i'd love to see the micro bit driver replaced with a flat 4mm bit driver. they could bake a full bit kit for it too. i'd use it very often for electronics repairs.
or i saw in an old leatherman patent that they've been thinking of adding a exacto blade holder into the micro driver. i think this would be a great addition.        
(though flat 4mm bits would be just perfect)
love your videos, have a nice day!

Always love your videos Ben!  Thanks for mentioning my designs.

Also Kristen has an excellent customer service! 5 star!

My garage005 has a decent package opener function.

And I really have to say how much I miss spring loaded pliers. Carry my garage everyday and just touched my old trusty wave yesterday. Really strange feeling when you wait for the plier to open….

"The Surge is King".  thanks for the great video.  I was thinking about getting the Arc but as an aircraft mechanic I still think the Surge is better option.  I just wish it had a cutting hook at the end of the serrated blade

Its good to see you back!!
I know its been said ad nauseam, but Leatherman would completely own the market if they used a true 1/4inch bit driver

Man the micro driver adapter is a BRILLIANT idea. Amazing! I’ve always thought the micro driver takes up too much space!
