Leatherman Signal vs Leatherman MUT

[admin]

So yep.
I have been following the Signal since Leatherman announced it.
I have heard some say it’s like the MUT with less ‘tactical’ features, but I think it is a separate tool on it’s own.
So I think we should have a thread to debate the merits and pros/cons of both.

I’ll start:

Leatherman Signal

-survival and outdoors oriented
-folding screwdriver
-awl (I personally don’t use these, but I know a lot of peeps want them)
-bit driver hole
-hammer end
-ferrocium rod/whistle
-fine diamond file/shaprener
-$120 MSRP
-4.5in closed
-7.5 oz

Leatherman MUT

-Firearms and tactical oriented
-firearms pin punch
-bronze scraper
-long bit holder
-replaceable strap cutter
-screwdriver built into frame
-firearms cleaning rod threaded hole
-$160 MSRP
-5in closed
-11.2 oz

My personal choice is undecided. Considering I do a lot with firearms, the MUT seems like I would prefer it, but I like the Signal, as well. I like the diamond file/sharpener on the Signal and the solid hammer end, as compared to the MUT hammer end with the strap cutter. I really wish you could combine them.
