Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your ARC in top condition, ensure you follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Periodically clean out the interior tracks with compressed air or a soft brush to remove pocket lint or grit that could affect the magnetic operation.
- Lubrication: Apply a light synthetic oil to the pivot points every few months to ensure the one-handed opening remains smooth.
- Bit Compatibility: The tool uses Leatherman's specific bit driver system. Ensure you are using the included flat bits, as standard hex bits may not seat properly in the bit driver adapter.
- Storage: Always store the tool in its provided nylon sheath when not in use to protect the DLC coating from deep scratches and to prevent accidental deployment in a crowded pack.
