Leatherman MUT - Heavy Duty Ruggedness

Leatherman MUT EOD - Military Utility Tool, Explosive Ordnance Disposal.
I traded my good friend for this tool. In exchange for the Leatherman MUT I sent my friend the BCB Ultimate Survival Tin and the BCB Crusader Cook kit.
The Leatherman MUT EOD has some great features and the is designed for the Military.
Include in the Leatherman MUT EOD tools are:
Electrical Crimper
Needlenose Pliers with Military Performance Spec Cap Crimpers
154CM Replaceable Fuse-wire Cutters
Stranded Wire Cutters
420HC Stainless Steel Clip Point Combo Straight/Serrated Knife
Saw
Hammer
Replaceable Cutting Hook
Bolt Override Tool
Replaceable C4 Punch
Replaceable Carbon Scraper
Cleaning Rod/Brush Adapters
Carabiner Clip
Bottle Opener
Large Bit Driver
INCLUDED BITS: Phillips #1-2 and 3/16, Phillips #2 and 1/4 Screwdriver, Torx #15 and Hex 7/64.
The longer bit drivers from Leatherman are great and I hope they come out with a bit kit made of these longer shank ones.
Also in the range is the Leatherman MUT designed for the military to carry out maintenance on there M4 and AR15 firearms. One again Leatherman have set the benchmark when it comes to multi-tools and the MUT is a great innovation.

@ColinOutdoors Once the black TiNi coating wears off a blade...can I send it to the factory to the new coating? If not is the steel underneath as rust resitant as the satin finish? I may get a Spyderco Para2 and that will effect my decision.

@NJMevec2 I am not sure my friend, perhaps send Leatherman an email, they should be able to answer your questions.

[NJMevec2]

@ColinOutdoors Thanks. First one and if I get another it will be the same model. Great little tool to have on me. Along with my Benchmade 950 Rift Black TiNi Plain Edge (apparently this model is no longer in production. Shame. Great knife but a little pricey).

[ColinOutdoors]

@NJMevec2 Yeah I have seen pics of that Benchmade, sounds like a good set up you have there.

[NJMevec2]

@ColinOutdoors Since I carry my Super Tinker every day scissors don't matter.

[ColinOutdoors]

@NJMevec2 Nice, Good choice SAK

[ColinOutdoors]

@NJMevec2 The ST300 is a great choice for pliers, shame it doesn't have scissors but a great tough tool

[NJMevec2]

@ColinOutdoors I'm toggling between the MUT and the TTi right now. Since I have a Swiss Army Knife and a Benchmade 950 Rift so the blades don't matter. It's the pliars and whether or not the cutters are replaceable. So I'm also thinking the Suptertool 300.

[ColinOutdoors]

@NJMevec2 Na the TTi is a more versatile tool. The hammer on the MUT is a very useful feature though.

@NJMevec2 I don't really have a favourite, perhaps the LM Charge TTi
