Is the Leatherman MUT worth it over a Wave?

If you maintain firearms, the MUT's scraper, punch, threaded rod ports and sight bits do jobs a Wave cannot. For general everyday carry, the Wave is lighter and more versatile.

What tools does the MUT include?

It has 16 tools, including pliers with replaceable wire cutters, a bronze carbon scraper, a disassembly punch, a cutting hook, sight-adjustment bits, a 1/2–3/8 scope wrench and locking interior blades.

Can the worn parts be replaced?

Yes. The carbon scraper, disassembly punch and cutting hook are user-replaceable with a Torx #8 driver, and the 154CM wire cutters swap out too.

Does it take standard cleaning rods?

Yes. The handles are threaded for standard cleaning rods and brushes, so you can run a patch through without a separate rod handle.

How big and heavy is it?

It weighs 11.2 oz and folds to about 5 inches. That is heavier than most Leatherman models, so it carries better in a pouch or pack than a pocket.

What is the warranty?

Leatherman covers the MUT with a 25-year limited warranty.

What reviewers say

Owners praise the MUT as a purpose-built gun tool that holds up to hard use, with the scraper, punch and sight bits singled out. Complaints center on weight, size and the narrow appeal of its firearm-specific tools.

About the Multitool Military Utility Tool MUT

The Leatherman MUT is a 16-tool multi-tool designed for people who maintain their own firearms. It has several areas threaded for cleaning rods and brushes. It includes the screwdriver bits for standard military and civilian sighting adjustment work, and a 1/2–3/8 scope adjustment wrench.

The tools fold into stainless steel handles. The interior blades and tools lock out for use and fold back in with a push-button release. The pliers are heat-treated 420 stainless steel, and the 154CM stainless steel wire cutters are removable. You can choose between stranded, hard, or regular wire cutters.

The bronze carbon scraper, cutting hook, and disassembly punch are replaceable with a Torx #8. The MUT weighs 11.2 oz and folds to fit in a pocket.
