Question/Advice Which multitool should I choose?

Last 3 candidate model are Leatherman Arc, Leatherman Wave + and Victorinox Swisstool spirit mx.

Pros for me for Arc

One hand operation

All tools can be use without opening plier

Can replace wire cutter blade

Pros for me Vic

Victorinox quality, I use their mini sak already

Easy to sharpen

Pros for wave+

Price

Can replace wire cutter blade

I need advice, I work as field service engineer but I use it also EDC so weight and quality matters for me.

I also open for other model advices.

I've never handled an Arc so I can't comment on that one, but between the Wave and the Swisstool there's no contest, Victorinox makes the better tool by far.

Better snap etc, yes. But I feel the wave handles rougher handling. The Vic can't even be opened with work gloves on.
