I just stumbled upon this little gem today. Did you know that Leatherman makes a Multi-tool for EOD?

EOD stands for “Explosive Ordinance Disposal,” the Army’s bomb squad, and it’s a very dangerous and specialized field.

The Leatherman MUT EOD Multi-tool has some really cool features.

Tools:

  • 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

Features:

  • Black Oxide Version
  • Stainless Steel Body
  • Stainless Steel Handles
  • Bronze Carbon Scraper and Titanium Pocket Clip
  • All Locking Blades and Tools
  • Outside-accessible Blades for One-handed Opening
  • Removable Pocket Clip
  • 25-Year Warranty

Do you need one of these for regular life in the States? Only if you’re on the Bomb Squad, but it’s still pretty neat. I’d love to get my hands on one of these and play around with it for a while, but at $125 you’d probably only buy it if you really need it.

…what does a C4 punch do, exactly?
