      You can paint or dye the white Nylon 12 material any color you wish. I have found matte enamel spray paints to work well. (Use a few light coats)

      I recommend the Molotow ONE4ALL Acrylic paint marker for any touch ups.

       


      The nylon material can be dyed or painted.

        Tips fall out

        It's an amazing idea at first I thought it was best thing ever. But after a week of use the tips started falling out and I lost one. Went right back to the pouch leatherman gave me for my arc.

        Nice Holster

        Does not fit the old backpack light from PC Poodle, both lights will be on when inserted draining the battery.

        Was incredibly tight, had to put in boiling water multiple times to get a proper fit, the other 2 holsters I purchased did not have this issue.

        Beware the bit holders you use most will wear out causing the bits to be loose or fall out completely.

        There are absolutely no returns or exchanges on these, you get what you get.

        Tips

        At first glance it's great work, but I use the tips every day and after 4 days, they no longer fit in their housing, I'm very disappointed, nearly €80 for nothing...

        Arc armored holster with front bit storage

        It is a well-made product. I have an Arc with the ratcheting bit extender, Volty switch, 711L ratchet, and all the Leatherman bits. All the tools fit nice and have a satisfying click, especially after a bit of break in. It is a very compact way to carry that many tools. But I had to quit carrying the holster. Not due to an issue with the product, but with my lifestyle. I am a mechanic and spend a lot of time rolling around on the ground under machines and whatnot. It is too vulnerable for that. I wanted the one that could hold extra bits on the front because I use them frequently. But I wound up losing a couple of them by hitting the holster on stuff without realizing it and knocking them out. And I broke a few of the bit holders getting it hung up on a fence. I do think the design is phenomenal, and the holster is high-quality. It will work well for people that are more mindful than I am about what they are doing, or just don't have to be as rough on it in general. That just wasn't possible for me, so I had to go back to the regular Leatherman pouch.
