If you are a MUT owner, show us your pictures and join the club :)
Here is my Leatherman MUT EOD which I have had since January 2011. Great tool, got it in a trade from a mate in CA. I have used it quite a bit. I realise its aimed at AR15/M16 owners but the tools are versatile and can be used for many tasks. Its a big beast but surely Leatherman have once again set the benchmark for what is possible.

The contrast of the satin tools and the BO body on your MUT is very cool.

Yes, both of the SS MUTs are the same.
The camo Super Tool was a one off that a fellow in Michigan USA produced using a hydro dip process. I have a few other tools from him that I was fortunate enough to buy off of eBay at the time.

So your not a fan of the molle sheath then, thats interesting you say its no good for belt carry. I actually don't have the sheath so I may not get one now you mention some of the downfalls.
Well looks like you have a real gem with that Super Tool then, a one off and a very cool one at that.

Now that you mentioned it, I've yet to find a molle sheath that carries well on a belt... especially if you're into horizontal carry.

Hi Nikos, yeah I have a MaxP sheath and do not like how it carries on the belt. I guess the molle sheaths are best to be attached to a vest or pack

I carry mine on a 2.5" wide canvas belt while in uniform. I agree about the horizontal carry option.
One way to get around it is to find a decent sized snap link and clip it to the loops on your pants. Hangs a little low but works just the same.

Reporting aboard ! I bought a Black EOD for myself , and gifted another to a LEO of my aquaintance . I like the molle sheath - carries well in the vertical position , two "Malice" clips make it OK for horizontal carry . I often carry mine Via the pocket clip - ain't no way you'll loose that puppy !
Chris
Nice one Styerman, I agree the pocket clip is very solid and you aint gonna loose it. Mind you I have the problem that my trousers fall down if I clip it to them :rofl:
Post by: colinoutdoors on July 22, 2011, 10:38:23 AM
Also reporting for duty. Picked up a black MUT two weeks ago; retired my Charge as my daily carry. I use the Molle sheath and find it very comfortable to carry on my belt or in the side pocket of my 5.11 P.U.S.H. Overall, it promises to be a great tool, something that will be carried for long time to come.
Glad you have the BO MUT, shame it retired your Charge. I too have the PUSH pack, its quite good :-)

as long as the tool is good I'm happy. Not to picky about sheaths really.

Shame to hear you didn't get on with the molle sheath. I need to try one for myself. Can you carry it horizontally?
Post by: D0C08 on July 24, 2011, 01:38:48 PM
It has a good secure snap, fits nicely on a riggers belt or a RICAS if I am shooting. It holds the MUT securely although a little tight with the pocket clip fitted. The wrench tool fits snugly in the snap strap though it is not something I carry everyday.
I have added the bit carrier from my Charge and the sheath has plenty of room to hold it. I haven't tried carrying it horizontally but it is possible. All over it is not too bulky and, as said before, fits nicely in the side pocket of my PUSH.
The cordura is good quality, well stitched and appears to be hard-wearing, although only time will tell on the latter. The flap has a good amount of Velcro which seals the unit securely even when worn upside down.

Cannot understand why the MOLLE sheath is the worst sheath ever. I cannot see anything inherently wrong with it.

I love the look and feel of the mut. But not being a gun owner sort of restricts it's usefulness. If I could swap out the Bolt override tool for scissors I think I would by one.
Well I am the same as you, not a gun owner. But I have found some great uses for the tools. Carbon scraper - Awl, C4 Punch - Marlin spike. I agree though scissors would be a great addition to the MUT.

My MUT is my yard bitch MT. The hammer is REALLY handy as is the nice & big blade/saw 8) 8) 8).
I used my MUT to pull apart a deceased microwave oven , the longer screw driver bits were just the thing 8) ,used the pliers to remove a couple of security torx bolts(saved me a trip to find my security torx bits set 8) 8)). Even used the hammer to tap some parts out :D :D :D.
Now the 'replaceable' ::) ::) ::) carbon scrapper is not like a normal awl I did find out today ::) ::) :D :D. Being bronze I suspect it is not as rigid as a normal MT's awl. As I was using/abusing it I was thinking 'its ok it's replaceable' as a jammed it between 2 riveted pieces of metal. I had the cunning plan to grab a near by brick to whack the hammer end of the MUT with the scrapper in place.Before I grabbed the brick I thought I would make sure the scrapper was holding up OK ::) ::) ::) :o :o :o :o :D :D :D.

:oops: :D :D, it be a bit of a wet wonky noodle ::) ::) :D :D :D.
Not too worry I had a old Japanese MT set on hand & I used it's hammer to whack the scrapper back into alignment , no harm done :D :D
(http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll287/multimat426/MUT/S6305737-1.jpg)
All good :D :D, just need to give the blade & saw a much needed clean + sharpen the blade.
I do prefer the ease of sharpening a PE blade though :-\ :-\ .

I got the MUT a few weeks ago as well, and as I'm not a gun owner either I don't quite dare to use the bronze scraper. A harder version as an awl would have been great.
What I particularly like about the tool and what intrigued me the most was not only the great looks :) but also the replaceable wire cutters, the replaceable cutting hook (love the cutting hook on the Charge TTi as well!) and - first and foremost! - of course the hammer.
Additionally, it is the heaviest multitool I have owned so far (being my third, actually), and it gives a very heavy duty and reliable impression.
Oh, and I have the MUT, not the MUT EOD. I thought the non-EOD version was a better fit for me, and so far I haven't been proven wrong yet :)

Post by: keldan on August 03, 2011, 08:23:20 PM
Leatherman MUT EOD (http://www.leatherman.com/product/MUT_EOD) (official Leatherman website)
Basically on the MUT EOD you get replaceable fuse-wire cutters (straight blades) instead of replaceable wire & hard wire cutters (mostly straight blades but a little wider towards the bottom for the harder wires), a C4 punch (quite big in diameter with a pointed tip) instead of a firearm disassembly punch (rather small in diameter, flat tip) and instead of the plier-part with the big zig-zagged, rounded belly you get military performance spec cap crimpers (which I absolutely have no use for).
Except for the cap crimpers on the plier head everything should be replaceable with the counter-parts of the other tool, but I don't see any need for that myself :)

Bob, why don't you trim the edge to a sharp point on that pin punch. That would be a lot more useful I would think.
Like a pokey point on the end? I could do that, but then I'd be feeling the bronze scraper = awl would be redundant. :-\
Post by: turnsouth on August 05, 2011, 03:22:53 AM
I get along okay with the bronze scraper as an awl, but I haven't found anything truly useful to do with the pin punch. :think:

I for one don't use it at all. I'd rather pocket it completely or use the carabiner.
I just don't know what to do with the holes because you can't just put the screws back in as they would stand out too far. :think:
On the other hand I'd really hate to "modify" my MUT, even if it's such a small thing (which they obviously even intended because they used the normal Torx screws instead of security Torx screws). I always have the feeling that taking something away could make me regret it in the long run ::)
What are your opinions about this?

I used the extra screws that came with a set of replacement cutters as blanking screws to protect the threads. Same size and sit flush. All of the removable screws on the MUT are interchangeable.
Post by: keldan on August 07, 2011, 08:41:12 AM
Thanks, bdl931, I'm gonna get me the replacement cutters and try it out :tu:
As for the structural support of the hammer - I have wondered that, too, but I think most of the force is transferred and held by the main frame. The belt clip might have a part in this, but only slightly (if even at all).
I have seen a MUT hammer that had the bolt override part (the "point") broken off, but the whole hammer ... well, someone's probably gonna manage to do that :P Haven't seen one of those yet though
Post by: keldan on August 12, 2011, 06:50:51 PM
I've been staring at my MUT for quite some time now, long enough to make someone else who might have seen me think I was nuts :pok: but I haven't had any success so far.
According to an older thread I found on here (Skeletool Date Codes (http://forum.multitool.org/index.php?topic=3895.0)), Skeletools (which share the general layout with the MUT after all) don't have date codes either.
Can anyone confirm or deny this for the MUT?

I love this thing. It's a beast, but I love it.
I even love the wrench ---

I am a member of the MUT owner's club. These pics have been posted before, but right now they are all I have, so you will have to see them one more time! BTW, I have a question for those of you in the know, is my MUT considered Black Oxide? I'm betting the answer is yes since there is not a piece of stainless on it, but the way I figure it, if you don't know, you better ask somebody! :facepalm:

I Got a BO MUT, but a couple of weeks ago I fell and the tool got damaged. The two 'screws' that tighten the pinch and the saw. Is it possible to get these parts separatly from LM? Because this is not a warranty issue but my own fault.
You can't get the parts. Send it in, I've never had a warranty repair turned away despite it being my fault or not.

Leatherman's warranty has been pretty good to just about everyone here who has made use of it. If the tool seems faulty in any way I suggest contacting Leatherman about it.

I posted in the mod squad but I'll say it here also. First I dyed the brown plastic black. :think: what was LM thinking with brown plastic? :twak: Next I'm making a Damascus awl to replace the bronze scrapper. Finally I may or may not add a diamond file from a wave. Still thinking on it.

I got a LM MUT for fathers day from my wife and daughter yesterday. I had been wanting a LM for some time, but just never got around to picking one up. I picked out the MUT because of a few features I really liked. It was between this and the ST300. The reason I did not choose the ST300 is because it didn't have replaceable screwdrivers or the bit driver feature to be exact. The other thing I was looking for was the replaceable cutters in the jaws. This is awesome. I don't know how many pairs of needle nose pliers I have ruined by attemptimg to cut something a little too hard. Seems like once they get a goofed up spot on them, they never work the same. I had no idea LM offered this, so I was excited when I saw it.
If they offered the ST300 in a bit driver version like this MUT, I would dive on it. I really like the better range of tools that the ST300 has. The MUT has a good bit of tools, but like other folks, I find myself wishing it had more. I am a firearms enthusiast, but I got this tool to use in everyday life. Sure, it will come in handy around firearms, but its main purpose is to be there when I need it. This is my first multitool. I think I am really going to enjoy it. First pic:
(http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd198/JSMachine/LM/2012-06-16_07-40-18_376.jpg)
The first mod I made was to sharpen the punch. I can get a lot more use out of it sharp like this.
(http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd198/JSMachine/LM/2012-06-16_07-39-10_367.jpg)
Mods on the list so far to do:
I need to figure out if the carbon scraper can be replaced with something more useful. I'm not really a big scissors fan, so I have been looking at other things. Maybe a file? That would work. I'm just not sure what is available, and what might be a more common mod among the other owners. I don't mind the carbon scraper, but I don't really have a use for it other than what it is designed for..For an EDC tool, it is kind of just wasted space to me.
The screwdriver bits are great. I got the kit which has the bit set, and I can tell you, what I will use the most are the flat and phillips heads. I like the fact that I have one small one and one longer one. The other long bit on the other side which is torx, is kind of a wasted tool as well as I will likely not use it. I was trying to think, I may be able to take a couple of the bits from the set that I know I won't use, cut them up, modify them, and make another long bit with flat and phillips head drivers in a differnt size than the one already there. That way I would have a good range of head sizes. Still not sure what I might do there. I don't really see the need to carry the complete bit packs..just more weight to an otherwise heavy tool already. I don't mind the tool's weight, I just don't want to add anymore if I can help it. On that note, Does anybody know if there is a way to utilize the very small bit - the one that might be used for eyeglass screws and such? I was looking for a place on the tool to insert it but I haven't found one.
I have to do something with the knife blade. I might be picky, but when the tool is held right handed like the photo below, it kind of bothers me that the serrations are ground on the other side. Most any right handed knife has the serations ground on the side facing you, which would be the side of the blade in the picture. I know that these tools are not really right and left handed; just a weird thing to me. On top of that, I don't like serrated blades. They are difficult to sharpen correctly and usually turn into a useless part of the blade; a part where the edge could continue all the way back and be that much more useful.
See what I mean here-holding the tool right handed, serations on the opposite side:
(http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd198/JSMachine/LM/2012-06-16_07-40-45_42.jpg)
You probably wondered why I said I'd make a new blade. I am a knifemaker in my free time. I am also a toolmaker and CNC guy for a living. I can make pretty much anything out of metal. Here is one of my recent knives:
(http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd198/JSMachine/knives/mdafinal1.jpg)
All in all I really like the tool. I am so happy to have it and looking forward to using it. I can't wait to work with it a while, and customize it to better suit me. I thought about making a new blade out of some stainless damascus. That would surely seperate it from all the other MUTs :) LM did a good job, this thing is very well made.

This thread is the very reason I subscribed to the forum for I have been since quite some time searching for the perfect EDC for me and never really found the right combination until today I met while surfing the net a picture that hit the spot, I followed it to its source and I found myself here, looking at Metropolicity's mod.... WOW!
Sir I salute your skills here and thank you for having shared the results!
Now before opening the proverbial bottle as we say from back home I would defer to the community's superior knowledge to understand a couple of things more in order to be sure I really found my Tool:
1. I hear, sorry read, many talking about how much of a beast it is, may I ask how beastly its measures are? I read it is 12 cm long when closed, what about width and height? I ask this for i usually wear suits in office and am a but worried it might seen i have a rabbit in my pocket... As of now i usually carry a Victorinox Trailmaster Road Edition as EDC, I understand the MUT is bigger but my question is how much bigger (twice a much? More?)
2. I am a scissor user, something that purveyed me from considering the beastie before but the mod I saw made me think again, question here is how hard is it to do that? Can it be done with the bronze scraper instead of the puncher (which I'd convert to an awl straight away)? How hard it is to find the scissors to fit to it? These questions are mainly for the Modder himself but if anybody else has the possibility to shed any light on the matter I'll be very very grateful
3. Is the saw replaceable? I thought not but read somewhere on the Web on an article titled 5 reasons to buy MUT as your only multi tool that all the parts can be replaced, is it true?
Thank you very much for any help you might provide
M.

I've got two MUTs now - an EOD I've had - well, replaced last year - for about three years and is my EDC. Second I got last week, which is a plain old regular MUT, non BO. I love them both; I find this such a useful tool.
Maybe you guys can help me. I'm trying to figure out if I'm doing something wrong [operator error?! impossible!] or I need to send in my EOD. Perhaps someone else here has had the same problem. The torx screws at the plier head that also hold in the knife & saw are either loose enough that I cannot control the pliers...or so tight that the knife and saw are a two-handed fiasco to pull out. It's also a given that, when tightened, the fold-down is pretty nasty tight too. In other words, not super usable. Does LM have some super magic tensioner they use when tightening down these screws?
I don't know; I think I know how to tighten screws, but there's always that possibility. Would any of you go ahead and send a MUT with this problem in to LM?
Thanks in advance as they say... :D

The knife opens and closes perfectly fine though, with just the right amount of tension.

My MUT is a little stiff closing the pliers, but it's still pretty new and it's starting to loosen up some.
The knife opens and closes perfectly fine though, with just the right amount of tension.
Appreciate that, but that's what I'm missing - "just the right amount of tension". Either the pliers jam when used hard, then the screws are too loosey goosey to remove the pliers from whatever I'm using them for...so pliers have to be pried apart. Yeah, 'hearing' myself talk here, perhaps they need to get sent in - primarily because I don't know how to tighten them - with THE right amount of tension.
I am using two torx bits on either side - as one or the other [of the screws] will move on me - when using only one bit to tighten. Clearly - clearly above my pay grade.
Appreciate the response. :cheers:

Are you saying the pliers won't open while using them? If so then the removable wire cutters might be tensioned too much.
Well...I hadn't thought of that. They weren't really [tensioned too much], but I loosened a little, so we'll try that. But yes - pliers are jamming together - almost always using the wire cutters. Then, because the handle with knife & saw is loose enough, there's no leverage - to either get the pliers apart [without prying action], or really to be able to use the pliers reliably - as pliers. If those torx screws are tightened at that handle - I can't find any happy medium and then plier head is getting scraped from inner part of handle and knife and saw are a bitch to get out to be able to use.
Hey - I appreciate any help because I'm not clear why I can't rectify this situation on my own. I've tried, but perhaps the MT gods are against me. Possibly just taking the whole thing apart and seeing if I can put it back together again. Then that would slightly diminish my warranty - I guess.
Thfffppptt! :P
Thanks.

Well thanks a lot for sharing that, ive been considering a mut lately and was going crazy looking at pics wondering exactly that, if a vic scissor would fit in the bit compartment :tu:
Is it a very tight fit or they go in ok? the swisscard scissors are a bit thinner than the rest arent they?

I'm hoping to be able to insert the file into the bit driver in the MUT for use and in the bit storage holder whenI'm not using it. This will be my very first major mod (well, major to me) I've ever done. So, fingers crossed............Just remember the golden rule.

I got the Surge replacement file/ saw. I was messing with it just to see how I want to go about this. Did anyone know that the file/ saw fits in the bit driver? I'm thinking of adding a notch to it so it will lock in.
We sure know now, thanks :D :tu:

The Mut on my favorite pair of gloves. The gloves were the only piece of clothing I could salvage after my motorcycle accident back in 2010. So I wear these in honour of what could have happened.

And my original comment about the sheath...proved unfounded. I figured it out later and it proves to be rather comfortable and adjustable.

I just finished with the file mod. I tested it on the saw just in case it wouldn't work or I messed up. I used the diamond file to scrub away one side. Being 1am I figured, what the heck, I'll pull out my Dremmel and wake everyone in the house up and cut the notch. Sadly though, no one woke up, not even the dogs, and I succeeded on making the notch in the saw and file. I also used the Dremmel to scrub one side so the file would fit, like the saw. The saw and file fit nice with some lateral wobble. The bits also have some also wobble which I never noticed until I checked tonight. I am a happy man right now!¡! It took me over a year belonging to this great forum to get ideas together for this to happen!¡! Thanks to all who helped with their ideas and inspiration!¡! Here are pics!¡!That's awesome Terry! That turned out great. I don't use a file too often, but I wouldn't mind having one just in case.

Look out Skeletool cause here I come. Always wanted a file on the Skeletool and thanks to you sir, I think that it will happen (sooner or later). I know the SX has a "file", but no.

I thought about removing the clip too but i knew a clip so massive and incredibly hard was going to be good for something eventually :rofl:
In fact pulling the cork out turned out to be easier than with most saks i tried.

Well, I sent in my MUT EOD [I see that Chako is also an EOD owner] back to LM with a note asking that it not take until next year. With everything that's gone on - plus I'd sent it in last season and it took the better part of two months to get it back! Trouble getting parts...as I recall. At any rate, sent in the 12th and back the 18th.
It's a replacement. Either a refurb or something, but I don't care. I don't want to have to deal with...seeing LM in a position where they can't seem to come through. Since that's what's been happening as of late.
So, they came through - and quickly. Flippin' woo-hoo! :P
I assume everyone's had enough of MUT pix, no? Anyway, kudos to LM. :salute:

Very nice Derek :tu: I was at the distillery in Lynchburg back in July :drool:
Post by: screwloose on January 26, 2014, 12:40:02 AM
got myself a mut to!
i've been the owner or a victorinox for 20 years and then it died on me... :shrug:
tinkering on my volkswagen beetle, i abused it a lot! ( bit to much i think...)
so i bought a skelletool, i liked the design but it was way to small!
So i bought een TTI, nice but wobbely and i did not like it at all!
a victorinox is heavy, Multi and STRONG!
a TTI is not...
so i gave the skelletool to my wife and she loves it, i sold the TTI and the new owner likes it. ( i think..) and i bought a MUT, it's big, it's heavy, it's Multi and STRONG!!
living in holland i got no use for a carbon scraper and a pokie-thingie so i'm thinking to mod those to an awl and a pare of sissors. i also don't like the way to bulky molle sheat so i took the one from the victorinox and refitted the velcro, no it's perfect on my belt!
so, for now i'm happy with it so i'm gone keep this thing for a while!
Post by: RamoN on January 26, 2014, 01:57:34 PM
For me the mut is the ultimate tool, mainly because its very strong very well made. The pliers can even withstand some heavy twisting without giving up.

:SAKnight:
I can't see a comparison between the MUT and Swisstool, they are both built for different roles, MUT is a firearm specific tool meant for the range/hunting bag or any situation similar with just added bonus for EDC if you need to have it with you on a daily basis and the Swisstool is a work horse. I think a fair comparison to the Swisstool be a ST300 or Surge IMO.

Here's few photos of my "Black Ninja MUT"...plastic parts dyed in black Rit fabric dye, clip darkened by a simple Ti oxidation method :)
I don't plan to touch the bronze scraper as I like the finish and contrasting effect with the rest of the tool.
I've included few comparison photos with the retail (unadultered) MUT version.

Babola or others that have dyed the plastic - any tips? I've got the dye and my brand new MUT ready to go. Get the water boiling, throw in the dye and plastic for 15 minutes over a low flame, sit the plastic on a towel to cool? Or is there a better way? Any trick to removing the plastic pieces?
Cook them in a strainer of some kind inside the pot.
I use a l metal basket made for silverware.

Having gotten to it yet. Hoping to dye the plastic and grind the punch in to a small screw driver next week. Will definitely post the victory shots if it all works out.
I might dye mine black also if it works out good for you.
I already ground my punch into a little scratch awl.

It's easy, really. I died quite a few G-shocks in the past so it became a routine for me.
I use RIT fabric dye, dissolve a teaspoon of it in a pot of 1/2" boiling water I removed previously from the flame. Dip in the parts and wait for some 10-15 mins. Done.
Take the bits out from the liquid, and wash them on a tap.
To remove those 4 plastic bits just use your head and logic and go slowly. The side plastic parts (larger ones) are held by two screws on a side but are easy to figure out. If you get stuck let me know - enjoy the modding! :tu:
I went a little further on my MUT and decided to dip the pocket clip in OXY wash to get darker shade of gray and treated the bronze scraper/awl with Sulphur for aged bronze look.
I have few other mods in mind but they will have to wait for now 8)
Love my 'Black Ninja' MUT! :drool:

Oxyclean or Napisan...tripple dunk...1st for 5mins then check, 2nd for 10 mins then check, 3rd for 20 mins. Make sure you start with the new solution every time in between, the effective oxidation is really only for first few minutes while the powder dissolves and froths up. It starts wearing off from then on.
Also, use boiled water for best results.
Let us know how it goes...cheers.

Was able to loosen 4 of 5 test screws with the small flathead open to 90 degrees and my fingers gripping it so that the punch doesn't unscrew from the MUT (the 5th screw was very tight). Not perfect, but my main use for it will be to open battery compartments on toys so hopefully it's adequate.
If anyone has any ideas on how I could buy a steel version of the awl/scrapper, I'd love to hear them.

Remove: Disassembly Punch, Scraper.
Add: File, separate Serrated Blade, Scissors, Awl, and Wood Chisel.
Keep: Hammer, Onboard tool bits, and the tapered handle on one side.
Kinda like a cross between a MUT and a Surge.
Note: No need for screwdrivers since there is a bit driver already.
Can this be done? We'll call it the CUT.

I'm not a gun owner either but really like the MUT.
It was my EDC for a long time. I think it is a bit underrated as a civilian MT. The downside is the weight and size. I can ONLY belt-carry it. I removed the clip and it is now much more comfortable to use. I still carry it one a weekly basis.

How do you use the clip on your belt? It is so stiff that I rather destroy my belt than being able to put it on.
I have taken the clip off mine and use a pouch. The old-style Ti clips are very stiff, the newer plastic and metal ones are more flexible. I prefer the older ones, they look so much better

Looking at that profile...the MUT SCREAMS TO ME TO BE MODDED! After my recent success modding the Signal I really want the MUT now. I think I can easily get the Scissor and T-shank exchanger on it from the Surge.

2) Are the handles so loose that it really needs a metal catch to keep it closed?
3) If you have a standard MUT and want to remove the AR disassembly punch and add a C4 punch, where do you get the brown plastic trim that goes with the C4 punch?
4) Are the curved MUT handles more ergonomic than the straight Surge handles?

1) Does anyone know the difference between the 1st gen and the current gen MUT (other than the clip)?
2) Are the handles so loose that it really needs a metal catch to keep it closed?
3) If you have a standard MUT and want to remove the AR disassembly punch and add a C4 punch, where do you get the brown plastic trim that goes with the C4 punch?
4) Are the curved MUT handles more ergonomic than the straight Surge handles?
G'Day Carl,
1) AFAIK it is only the clip. I checked the two I have and they are identical except for the BO an SS finish. The Ti clip is way better, but much stiffer to use.
2) No loose handles. The metal catch is to stop it opening when you pocket carry it.
3) I think you are correct, inmate Loki_mobile might be able to help you on the plastic bits. I ordered some plastic parts from him in the parts and he was excellent to deal with.
4) It depends on your hands. I do not find either uncomfortable to use.
The MUT is a great tool, but heavy and limited in tools. I always use mine with a pouch, I find it to big and bulky for pocket carry. I have also removed my clip and using the pliers is more comfortable that way.
Cheers, Pete

Also, I notice the EOD version has nicer wire cutter pieces but with a more squared corner so it will not fit the regular mut plier.
Post by: pietervn on March 23, 2020, 11:20:03 AM
Thank you for your answers.
Also, I notice the EOD version has nicer wire cutter pieces but with a more squared corner so it will not fit the regular mut pliers.
I think that cut-out on the non-EOD version is for the hard-wire cutters bit. If you have a look at the plier-heads side-by-side other you will notice the difference. The EOD ones MAY fit the non-EOD version, I am not sure about that. I only have the non-EOD versions that I used for me previous comments.
There are quite a few differences between the non EOD and the EOD version, but I don't think that was the original question.
Cheers, Pete
Post by: carl on March 23, 2020, 11:23:30 AM
About the clip, does the newer clip have a flatter profile and sit flatter along the side of the tool? The older clip looks like it sticks out a lot.
Post by: pietervn on March 23, 2020, 11:32:29 AM
The older clip is a single piece, hence the height. The new clip has a separate plastic piece (the brown one in the pic) that raises it to the same height. You will be able to sand some off the bottom of said bit and sit it closer to the tool - only about 1mm or so. I had a quick look now and that should be possible. The new clip really needs the plastic to give it a flat surface to screw on to. With just the clip it cannot be tightened enough to the tool for a stable fit.
If you need more pics I can take some tomorrow once the light is back.
Cheers, Pete

Post by: pietervn on March 24, 2020, 07:23:52 AM
Do you notice any difference in the tightness of the handles between the new and old mut?
Not at all. The new one is slightly tighter because it has not been used. I did however notice a slight difference between the BO and SS versions for the plier-head, but that is usually with most of the Leatherman models. I use mineral oil and work that through the plier pivot until the oil comes out clear. It usually takes about half a small syringe and 30 minutes.

The MUT is a outlier but it is a good tool.

Beauty Poncho! How do you like it? :multi:
So far, pretty good :D I haven't carried it yet and I am always on the fence about combo blades :whistle: but it is a definite heavy duty tool, which I :like: very much :woohoo:
Thanks :hatsoff:

I want one - I just can't find them anywhere. There are several on eBay for discontinue-tool prices, but I don't think the MUT has actually been discontinued. I just need to wait for Leatherman to restock.

Thank you :hatsoff:
Portland keeps hiking their minimum wage, just like my state. When the minimum wage goes up, so do all other wages... union and government pay schedules are scaled up, and any business with the minimum wage at the bottom of their pay schedule goes up as well. As a result, all goods and services are more expensive as well. It's no surprise that Leatherman tool prices are getting much more expensive as well, especially since they need to include possible warranty work (labor and/or goods) out 25 years in the price.

The MUT is back in stock!!! :woohoo:
New price, $199 :facepalm:
Mine is on the way! It's about time!
They were around $200 when my wife got me mine back in 2012, 12 years down the road they are around $230.
The price increase is not a lot for the UK, particularly where food prices have increased 47% in the last 6 months.
I just recently got another second hand at $130 to mod.

Has anyone used the bolt override tool for its intended purpose? This is not a malfunction I’ve experienced before but I realized I don’t have a dedicated tool for the purpose, and any excuse to get a new multitool is a good one :whistle:
I would get one, I have a feeling as a niche tool, it will be discontinued at some point, thus the purchase of the second one.
Now being in the UK, we are sooo restricted, that I will never be able to use the MUT as intended, for day to day use it is limited. But screams for a mod.
It is hands down a strong tool and I think it is one of the top five tools leatherman has ever created.

Very awesome collection of MUTTs :o :like: :like:First and most obvious difference is MUTT EOD vs MUTT. Different jaws and skinny pink for disassembling weapon vs pointy spike for making hole in plastic explosives for blasting cap. Titanium pocket clip I p vs newer stainless steel clip with tan plastic space. Fine tooth plier jaws vs newer coarse tooth jaws. Different hook used to keep tool locked in closed position. There may be more variations including shinny vs black oxide. There are also differences in the included accessory wrench used for adjusting gun sights. Please see my follow-up posts for photos.

I recently decided, regarding my assortment of Leatherman MUTTs, that maybe I should part with duplicates. Unfortunately, I have no duplicates! Some are very similar, but for very by subtle features, like how course the teeth are on the plier Jaws or the shape of the catch that holds the tool in the closed position. Here's my MUTT family:

My misspelling of MUT is something I come by honestly. I spent 40 year working as a mixed practice veterinarian. I have provided veterinary care for countless MUTTs as well as purebreds! Will somebody please inform my spell-checker of this discrepancy! T-A
