Leatherman is perhaps the best-known brand in the world of multitools. I first got my hands on a Leatherman Wave 15 years ago, and despite the massive amount of use and abuse it's seen, the multitool functions just as well today as it did in 2010 (aside from a blade in need of sharpening).
While the Wave represents one of the brand's mid-tier offerings, the Leatherman Arc sits at the top of the pile as its flagship, tough-built model. Priced at $249 — double — that of the Wave, I wanted to find out if the extra cost is actually worth it.
