Nicknamed the 'shooters sidekick,' the Leatherman MUT multi-tool was made to provide tactical support for active duty soldiers. The MUT, which was introduced in October 2010, reduces the number of tools a soldier needs to carry while in the field. The U.S. Army collaborated on the concept, which focused on dis-assembling, cleaning and repairing firearms.
While military applications were of first consideration, the needs of civilian consumers were also factored into the final design. From law enforcement to hunters and campers, various uses were considered to make this an exceptional tool.
While the MUT does look similar to the Leatherman Super Tool, it is way different in purpose and function. The serrated knife blade is thicker and longer than the Super Tool and with the addition of serrated feature it will be a cinch to cut rope. Plus the fact that you don't have to open the handles to access the knife makes it different. Also there is a miniture saw that is available for use without opening the handles.
A small knob that doubles as a hammer head is an added advantage of the MUT. Tucked neatly into the handles are bottle opener and a carbineer clip. Each of the cutouts for accessing the various tools seems to be larger and deeper on this multi-tool, providing ease of access for any tool you choose.
Designed for the tactical shooter, the Leatherman MUT also has a pin-punch set. Used in conjunction with the aforementioned hammer, you can easily drive the pins for breaking down your M-1, M-16, and the AR-15's. The socket that houses the punch set also holds the bronze scraper and brush that are included in this multi-tool. This socket is a standard 832 thread making it interchangeable with military cleaning rods. A bolt override tool comes in handy when a bolt jams and needle nose pliers aid in firing pin retainer removal and bolt disassembly.
It wouldn't be right to have all this without the ability to work on your scope. On the inside of the handles are the necessary tools for working with optics, torx, hex and Philips bits that are all replaceable when worn out. There is a cutter that is designed to take care of flexi cuffs, tie-wraps, chord material and any kind of strapping you may encounter in the field. This of course has a replaceable blade as well. Included is a 3/8 and a 1/2 wrench that will assist in attaching your optics to the rail. The bits that come with this tactical tool are the specialty bits you need to make adjustments to your different types of scopes.
The carrying sheath is called a MOLLE Sheathe. The acronym stands for "Modular Lightweight Load-Carrying Equipment" and simply means that it has additional pockets to carry a 9mm pistol magazine and a flashlight, as well as other lightweight tools.
An additional model, the MUT EOD, also has wire cutters, a cap crimper and a C4 punch and retains the AR-15 operator features. The number of tools on this model totals 17, plus the three-piece bit kit.
