Leatherman Vault shuts its doors with lottery-only multitools after ARC Obsidian sells out

Leatherman’s limited-edition Vault event is closing today, and if you were hoping to grab something outright, you’re out of luck.

Yesterday’s headline release, the ARC Obsidian, has already sold out, and the final wave of tools is now only available via lottery entry.

That leaves fans with one last shot at securing some of the brand’s most experimental Garage creations, but no guarantees.

Last call for Garage exclusives

The final batch includes a mix of past Garage hits and more recent designs, all reissued in limited numbers.

Among them is the 40th Anniversary Tool ($275, Leatherman), arguably the most technically ambitious multitool Leatherman has ever produced.

Built on the brand’s FREE platform, it enables one-handed access to all tools and features a premium MagnaCut steel blade, a material widely regarded for its edge retention, toughness and corrosion resistance.

With 20 tools packed into a relatively compact frame, including spring-action pliers, replaceable wire cutters and a full bit driver system, it leans heavily into high-end EDC territory rather than casual use.

Also in the mix is the Harvest ($250, Leatherman), a more specialised design aimed at outdoor and field use, alongside the Leatherman Parts ($215, Leatherman), which takes a modular approach to multitool construction.

And last but not least, the Leatherman Tread, the brand’s wearable multi-tool that integrates functionality into a bracelet-style form factor, is also available for lottery.

Lottery, not checkout

Unlike some of the Day 1 and Day 2 options, none of today’s tools is available for direct purchase.

Instead, you must enter a lottery for the chance to buy, continuing Leatherman’s long-running strategy of limiting access to Garage products to drive demand and collectability.

Prices for Leatherman’s Garage tools typically range from around $150 to $285, depending on the model, with premium releases like the 40th Anniversary Tool sitting at the top end.

With the Vault now closing, this final lottery represents the last opportunity to secure one of these limited-run designs before they disappear back into the secondary market, where prices tend to climb quickly.
