Leatherman ARC closing mechanism critical failure!
Possible Flaw in Leatherman Arc - Locking Mechanism Wearing Down
It's possible that it's just my defective unit, but if not, Leatherman might have a serious problem on their hands.
The locking mechanism on my Leatherman ARC - the protruding tabs integrated into the pliers - has worn down the steel on the frame of the tool to the point where the locking mechanism on one of the arms has stopped holding.
This defect occurred solely through opening and closing the tool. Nothing more.
Please check your own tools and let me know if I'm the only one who's been unlucky...
P.S. Excuse my English - it's not my native language, so I make mistakes when speaking without preparation.

Pergola - 1200 kg drewna by zbudować coś naprawdę solidnego.
zhlédnutí 715Před 5 lety
Zawsze chciałem mieć wielką „pergolę” w ogrodzie... taką pod którą można zawiesić rzymskie rolety, kilka hamaków, huśtawkę... Taką, pod którą zmieści się duży stół gdzie latem z przyjaciółmi będziemy jeść i pić godzinami... Musiała być mega solidna i masywna. Wykonana z odpowiednio przygotowanego drewna. Z cofniętymi słupami tak, by nie wchodziły na trawnik, a tym samym z odpowiednio wysuniętym...

Can you make a video on the snorkel?
Nice!
I'm glad I found your video, I was about to buy the arc... I'll just buy another surge
10 round is a rotary mag a 25 is single stack mag...that is why it is long.
Out of curiosity did you leave, or clean off, the factory teflon grease that goes on those pivot points?
This was done on purpose they knew they were not gonna fit and had no issues releasing them like this ! Might if been a deal they made with government
Why does it seem like Leatherman uses the reputation of their warranty to cut corners in quality control? The ARC is their flagship product sold at a premium that is supposed to provide decades of reliable service, so playing with it out of the box should not cause excessive wear like that.
I just cut some sections of sniper tape and wrapped the whole top section of the mag where it fits into the mag well. You just need to be accurate and careful to cut holes for the sprung fittings, but the tape worked perfectly for me. After thousands of rounds and several hundred insertions and extractions of the mag, I refreshed/replaced the tape and away I went again. No glue, no fuss, no drying time or Dremel/sanding. The advantage of the tape was it also removed all side to side movement of the mag when inserted. The original 10 round mags feed perfectly as do the two BX15 mags I have. The BX25 was terrible originally, but the tape trick worked fine. Now my 1022 is fitted with an Arthur E Brown M1 carbine stock, iron sights again, and I bought two new 10 round mags and then epoxied the Arthur E Brown dummy polymer M1 carbine mags onto the bases of them to complete 'the look'. It does look pretty cool and is a handy little 'replica' M1 carbine. (Living in the UK, we cannot own live action M1 carbines!! So my 1022 is the closest I will ever get!) and the advantage of the dummy mags is they provide an excellent handle for loading and unloading the 10 round magazines into the rifle. I have retired my BX25!!
Ruger should hire you, seeing as nobody at Ruger knows how to design a reliable mag.
*BRINGS A WHOLE NEW DAM FEEL TO GARAGE 005!!!!!!!!* . *SUCH BULLSHÏT FROM THIS COMPANY LATELY!!!!!!!!* 😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩
You are correct, shame on Ruger for not correcting this long standing issue
Thank you
Any updates? I just ordered my Arc and it arrives tomorrow. Did they fix this defect?
Is it worn metal, or is it weakened rubber?
I LIKE YOUR ENGLISH ...LOL IT WORKED PERFECTLY..!!!! TIP ==== GO SLOW TAKE YOUR TIME "DON'T RUSH"
1:34 You aren't serious are you? The original 10 round mag is a ROTARY (10 rounds in a circle) How do you recommend they do that with 25 rounds while only being as "big" as you are suggesting? Anything over ten rounds has to be oriented linearly so line up 25 rounds on your table, measure the length and get back to me.
I'm going to be sending mine in for warranty. Am I supposed to remove the removable wire cutters like you did before sending it in? Thanks.
You don’t have to. Mine were custom so I didn’t want them to be lost.
Had a P4, never had this issue, now i have a P2 and the Arc, no issues at all and i fidget the F K out of them... don't know what happens to yours.
Strange this issue wasn't noticed in the Free series but crops up in the Arc.
YEA "STRANGE" INDEED. JUST LIKE THE SHĪT H0LE SCAMMING ASS SHIT NEW WORTHLESS WIRE CUTTERS. . EVER SINCE THE ARC CAME OUT THINGS BEEN GOIN TO SHĪT IN THAT COMPANY 8-////
Think you for pointing this out,ive not had this issue with mine yet,but i will keep an eye on it now,ty,your the first person on CZcams i know to talk about this.
They robbed their customers is what they did. I bet this will B.S.s a major course for all of these tools. I just got mine and I noticed this was a weak point after opening it a few times. I love my Arc but I doing think it’s as dependable as my Surge
interesting. i had a look at my Arc, mine are ever so slightly worn out, but not as bad as the one in video. i will keep monitoring mine from now on, great video.
Interesting, I just checked my P4 and only 1 of 4 has some wear on it. I too play with opening mine, (every day since Oct). Maybe it is a heat treatment issue. I have to disagree w you on the P4 toolset but that’s ok 😄
Excellent video, videography and narration, about a not-good situation. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
Thank you. My pleasure. :)
Oh man, I just checked my Arc and it is wearing down the exact same way, more so on one side than the other. And sure enough, it just happens to be on the side where that particular plier handle disengages much more easily when closing the tool. That side doesn't make a loud satisfying snapping sound anymore. It's a very dull muted sound now compared to the other side.
Wow !!! I was seriously considering buying one, but I'm not sure now. I think I'll stick with my surge, thats frigging awesome
Jesus….There’s a ton of arcs out there with no issues,Just because you see a video of a person having an issue it’s all the sudden doom and gloom. You can think of any tool or knife and you’ll find a video of someone saying there’s something wrong or there’s an issue. If you buy one and there’s an issue,Then return it to leatherman for a replacement and if that one has an issue get another replacement. The warranty is excellent 👍🏻
I like them as well but they don’t inspire me with a lot of confidence. I see them more light duty compared with other platforms like Wave/Surge and Rebar/ST
By the way your English is fine. Better than many Americans lol
I think you may be mistaken. The pliers are stronger on the Free/Arc, pry tools are better etc. Mine has no hint of this issue.
Some tools may seems better. But the whole platform doesnt appears to be as strong as other models.
Just ordered and getting mine delivered tomorrow. and this pops up in my feed on CZcams😂
Sorry 🤭🤪
You had a soldering iron right there. Just stipple that bar area. And it would have filled the gap without the glue. I have done this with the internal of an AR stock to take slop out. Prevent rattling. If it too tight just sand a little until fits to your liking. And nothing in between to come off. Or jam.
Dziekuje ze mu pomogliscie! Niestety moj kochany nie mial tyle szczescia i rano zostal znalaziony na drodze, rycze jak dziecko, straszny widok. Licze ze kiedys sie spotkamy:(
Can you use a shorter cartridge possibly a .22 short
Czy ktoś wie może jak nazywa się ta piosenka?
Is this your 1st flashlight 😆
Mogli go zostawic, jebac koty
Good demonstration and you have discovered a problem with the testing standard. Instead of giving the average lumens over the discharge period the testing standard allows the manufacrurers to quote the peak lumen output at 30 seconds. This means the value given on the package can be double, triple, or even more times the actual average output of the light. There are very few lights that have an average output that is more than 80% of the peak value. There is no way Ithat I am aware of to know the average output of a light without testing it in an optical lab. Your light may meet the standard but the standard itself is stupid.
Hey dont worry. Your english is great. Dont apologize for it. Thanks for the video bud.
What’s better, Tahoe or Suburban?
Wsadziłem do kondoma, teraz czekamy do rana. Mam nadzieej ze pomoże
Polecam po prostu uzyc igły z apteki i wycisnąć ropę. Oczyścić i założyć plasterek. Po jebaniu się z różnymi spodami przez tydzień, kończąc na chirurgi gdzie doktor po prostu wyciągnął skalpel i wycisnął cały syf w minute, myśle ze jego sposób najlepszy.
