If it doesn't, we will gladly repair or replace it, at our discretion, with one of equal or greater value under our 25-year guarantee for tools and 10-year guarantee for lights.

But so far, I have had to replace nothing and it has stood up better than any other tool or blade I have ever owned. Integrated into the hammer/bolt-override tool is a replaceable cutter held in place with one T8 bolt. On the scraper tool and disassembly punch side, there’s a hole for the user to connect cleaning rods to, turning the entire multitool into a handle for pulling stubborn bore brushes out, or whatever else. Going to a full sized screwdriver and in this case a T10 bit pressed very firmly into the screw, and finally it moved.

An odd tool is the bolt override tool, which is the extended portion of the strap cutter, on the underside of the hammer. You could use a couple of washers or something else to fill the space the knife blade occupied, so you don’t need to have the accessory kit to do this conversion (but you do need to add a spacer of some sort). You might have spotted the cams which are included on the pliers’ handle pivots in some of the other photos. Four or five baby wipes later and the MUT is looking slightly less black, but now isn’t shedding black onto your hands and everything it touches. Immediately below the bottle opener and carabiner, there is a cross-bolt bar that blocks two screwdriver bits, one on each side.

In its use here as the wire cutting jaws, it will chew right through the soft steels that most barbed wire and chain link fences are made of. We have already seen the one held in a plastic side panel, but there are two more that slide into one of the MUT’s handles. The Leatherman MUT (Military Utility Tool) is Leatherman’s first multi-tool that can be used as a tactical and practical tool. Due to its out-the-front pliers deployment, the OHT looks quite large, but its build is not as heavy.Here the MUT has shaped and assembled the pilot/cockpit of an X-wing fighter – pretty fiddly job, but the whole thing came together as well as it could.
