The ARC is the first multi-tool pliers to feature high-quality MagnaCut steel. We make the blade from CPM MagnaCut steel. This kind of steel can stay sharp for a long time. It has excellent corrosion resistance and toughness, and it’s easy to sharpen. It’s highly suitable for daily tasks as well as the harshest environments. The DLC coating on the blade further enhances its corrosion resistance.
You can operate each function of the ARC with one hand 100%. Its opening mechanism adopts a magnetic adsorption-based opening and closing system based on the FREE system. With this design, there’s no issue of the handle splitting. The small tools don’t need to be pried open with fingernails. For the magnetic adsorption structure, the tightness isn’t adjusted by screws. Instead, it relies on tiny magnetic forces to hold the small tools in place, making the small tools flexible without becoming loose.
The ARC comes with 20 functions:
needle-nose pliers, regular pliers, replaceable wire cutters, replaceable hard wire cutters, a MagnaCut main blade, spring scissors, a saw, a pry bar, an awl, a can opener, a wire stripper, a wood/metal file, a sharpening rod, an edge-trimming file, a bottle opener, a crimper, a large bit holder, a small bit holder, a large screwdriver, and a hammer.
