I have one and really enjoy it. The sides of the pliers have female threaded holes where you can screw in cleaning rods or whatever and the MUT will act as a handle. One side of the pliers can be accessed while the MUT is closed. Very clever and innovative on Leathermans part.
Been carrying mine since January 2012, at work, at home, everywhere. The first thing that broke was the closing clip. Not a problem. Never fixed it. Then the wire cutter blades, that got replaced. Many times. Still works great. It's now a nice shade of "old grey".
@tacticalappalachian4259 ... I was lucky enough to carry an LMT Defenfer for about 10 years here in the UK, and the MUT was absolutely perfect for basic cleaning, clearing (most!) stoppages and fitting the Otis bits... Now I'm back to being a normal (unarmed) worker, I do miss using it for its intended purposes... Stay safe.
I was that dumb kid who tried opening a store security tag with the wire cutters and ruined my new leatherman birthday present 20+ years ago. Bravo on making them replaceable. 🎉
Just bought one, hoping it will last longer than my Signal. I have snapped the pliers twice! Very poor steel. Let’s hope the one is as tough as it looks
I have an og patent pending and a newer one that is just a knife and a couple screw drivers, it’s got that back button so ya can flick it open like a switch, small blade but it’s in the shape of a dirk but only sharpened on one side, lol beats knife laws and is legal good defensive knife but they ain’t survival knives they emergency tool knives
I've had one of these for 15 years. Got it while I was in the Army. Everything still works. Has never failed. Can't recommend it enough.
What a testiment to how tough these tools truly are, thanks for sharing!

There’s a lot more to it than it’s appearance gives off, certainly innovative like you said.
I’ve carried mine in the pocket for 14 years it is the only item I never leave home without
14 years! makes me all that much more confident in mine.. you don’t realize how much you use a multitool until you start carrying one.
I own so many Leatherman’s. The MUT, the ARC, and the garage 005 are the three that I edc the most.
Very nice, I’m actually not familiar with the garage.. I will have to check it out!

That’s awesome brother, glad to see it’s getting put to the good use it deserves!

Mine has held up well so far, but yes only time will tell with these types of things..
@@tacticalappalachian4259 they say this one has military grade steel… let’s hope it lasts longer
@@nicolasfracchiamilitary grade means "cheapest possible"
Its missing a diamond fike
Oh yeah I forgot the clip was a bottle opener

Awesome stuff man, thank you for sharing!!

❤
Combo blade is a hardpass from me not practical to sharpen the whole thing
And I got mind for 20$ Lmao
I have a hard time believing these reviews. Because guys who actually use tools for a living aren't the types to make videos about wimpy tools
