Opinions? My bro has one, it looks like it could be used for a door breaching tool lol :) I was wondering what you guys thought of it as a stand alone tool.
 
I bought one, then took it back as the Ti Charge was more functional for me.

If I owned an AR, it would be a no-brainer. But I do not, and the additional tools on the Ti Charge overrode the cool look of the MUT, at least for me.
 
It's a great beefy multitool geared towards aiding in firearms maintenance. Quite useful in that role and well-built but it's heavy as in 11.2 ounces.

An improved alternative for firearms (even more so for AR platforms) is the Multitasker Tools Series 3. If I didn't have the MUT I'd get this one.

You should compare features.

MTS3 seems like the multitool I'd go for. Maybe it's because I'm not entirely buying or possibly understanding the MUT's uses.

Reading some reviews on the MTS3 and most of it's fairly good... except the guy who gave it 5 stars and said he used it to "mate my delton upper to my RRA lower"

Last I checked, takedown pins should require a tool. [sarcasm]What'd he do, jb weld his pins?[/sarcasm]

Cool products, thanks to the OP and to RamZar for turning me onto these awesome tools. : D
 
I have a MUT and I love it. I take it with me every time I go shooting, I use it at work and I use it for camping. It is a very solid tool and you would not be disappointed by its quality.
 
Besides the bolt override tool, pretty much everything else is just a big beefy multi-tool. It's a nice tool, but it's also a nice marketing move aimed for those who like to accessorize ARs like girls do Barbies. Tip of a 5.56 round works just fine to knock out takedown pins, or the tip of a phillips head screwdriver. Adding a specific tool for it is just a waste of space.
 
I loved the one I had. I would say its a great tool for any shooter. The punch came in handy, the carbon scraper is helpful, the flat bottom worked great as an improvised hammer but man, that thing is heavy!
 
I've been tempted to get one just because I love multitools, but there are several others that pack a lot more tools (and quite a few are lighter). ARs are practically impossible to own for a civilian in my country, so that's another reason for me not to buy it. Plus, a lot of functions don't seem that useful to me (and the huge clip is UGLY). I do like the long shank bits.

I think something like a Charge Tti, SwissTool (or Spirit), ST300 or a Wave would be more versatile. I switch around my range bag multitool quite often, right now I've got a Charge Tti because last time I went shooting I had to zero a couple of rifles and needed some of the bits the Charge has.
 
I've handled it. Unless you need the specialized gun features, I'd stick with the Charge or Wave.
