The Leatherman MUT Tool is a remarkable tool that is the original tactical and practical offering from Leatherman. Irrespective of your discipline - civilian, military, craftsman, or outdoor enthusiast, this ingenious tool has everything you could ask for in a lightweight and completely functional tool.

With the MUT, you can do everything from cleaning rods and brushes to adjusting the sights of your weapon. It contains all the proper bits for military and civilian sighting corrections. Leatherman has taken everything into consideration in the design of this tool. There are even blades on the outside of the MUT that can be operated with one hand - a real benefit for someone in the field. And let's face it, when it's crunch time, time is more than critical and that's where the MUT shines. Ergonomically designed and more than full-featured, it will rapidly become your most valuable possession when you step out of your tent. Clip it to your uniform or pack and you're ready for whatever awaits you. 

In addition to these tactical features, you'll find the standard tools one needs for "getting the job done". Two pliers, wire cutters, saw, hammer, crimper, and several others are all packed into the 11.2 oz MUT. With its solid stainless steel construction and backed by Leatherman's standard 25-year warranty, the MUT stands alone in the field and should be considered a "must" purchase for anyone engaged in either field operations - in or out of uniform.

From our factory in Portland, Oregon, we're committed to bringing you the best multipurpose products to help you solve expected and unexpected problems in everyday life. Our journey started over 37 years ago with the world's first pliers-based multi-tool built by our founder, Tim Leatherman (yes, there really is a Mr. Leatherman!).

While on a budget trip to Europe in 1975, Tim Leatherman and his wife Chau constantly came across leaky hotel plumbing and roadside fixes for their cranky Fiat. Tim realized the need for a pliers-based multipurpose tool. "I was carrying a scout knife and used it for everything from slicing bread to fixing the car. But I kept wishing I had a pair of pliers!". When Tim came back to the states, he took his "multi-tool" idea and some sketches he made on the trip and got to work.

When Tim started on the prototype for this new tool, he estimated it'd take him a month. Instead, it took the next three years to build the prototype he envisioned and filed for a patent. With the patent application and prototype in hand, he set off to sell his idea. Unfortunately, the companies he approached didn't bite. For another three and a half years, Tim faced one rejection letter after another. Until he partnered with his college friend, Steve Berliner. In the spring of 1983, they received their first order for 500 tools from Cabela's and launched the first Leatherman tool, the PST.

From Tim's first prototype to our latest multi-tool innovation, we've been building our tools in Portland, Oregon. And when it's time to put our tools through their paces, we test them in the great Pacific Northwest. From hiking in the rugged Cascade Mountains, fishing off of the beautiful Oregon coast, or exploring the high desert in the east, we ensure our tools are reliable for any adventure or task, big or small. We invite you to try our tools for yourself, or read people's stories of saving the day with quick thinking, their own two hands, and a Leatherman.
