Pics here and here.Joking aside, that flaw seems to be an Achille's heel of the LM tools that belong to the modern scales design - Wave, Surge and MUT all fall into that category. If you inspect the handles around the pliers pivot area you will notice how thin and small the area that supports the pliers when fully closed and pressure applied to them, is. It's to do with the side cutouts that make the construct a little less robust compared to handles with solid design like ST300, Rebar etc.While the plier heads are all robust and thick and designed to sustain a reasonably large pressure, the handle area which supports them, isn't. IMO, those scale cutouts should be much smaller and build a lot more solid. At the moment, that's not the case. MUT scales are the worst in that respect.

As for the MUT, have you seen the second photo in this link: http://blogs.militarytimes.com/gearscout/2014/07/31/frame-cracks-cause-leatherman-mut-pliers-to-fail/That's what I'm referring to as the weak link. IMO, this part should be made a little more robust as it's the part which is under quite a lot of stress for those jobs exerting lot of force while squeezing the handles.
