EOD Multi Tool
All 5 Field-Standard EOD Multi-Tools · One Page · Compared by EOD Techs
Need an EOD multi-tool and can't decide which one you want? Every tool actually used in the field is here — pick from the dropdown, or read how they differ first. At EOD Gear, we're all about delivering exactly what you want.
There are 5 primary EOD multi-tools used in the field, and all five carry the tooling that separates an EOD multi-tool from a hardware-store one: a blasting cap crimper and cutting tools rated for the initiation work. Where they differ is the frame, the opening method, the leverage, and the extras — and that's where the right choice depends on how you work.
Which EOD Multi-Tool Is Right For You?
| Tool | What Sets It Apart | Pick It If |
|---|---|---|
| Leatherman EOD MUT | The weapons-platform EOD tool — cap crimper and fuse wire cutters alongside firearm maintenance features, in a MOLLE sheath | You run a weapon daily and want one tool serving both jobs |
| Gerber MP600 DET | One-hand, flick-of-the-wrist opening straight to the crimper and cutter; C4 punch on board | Your other hand is usually committed — light, line, or the problem itself |
| Leatherman EOD Super Tool 300 | The biggest, strongest pliers of the group with replaceable wire cutters and cap crimper | You want maximum plier muscle and a tool that rebuilds instead of retires |
| SOG B63N-CP | SOG's compound-leverage gears multiply your grip force at the crimper and pliers | You crimp and cut a lot and want the mechanical advantage doing the work |
| SOG B61N-CP with Scissors | Same compound-leverage SOG platform with scissors added to the loadout | You want the SOG leverage plus scissors for tape, cord, and packaging |
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an EOD multi-tool?
A multi-tool built for explosive ordnance disposal work: alongside the standard pliers, blades, and drivers, it carries a blasting cap crimper and cutters intended for initiation-system work — tooling no standard multi-tool includes. Five models are the field standard: the Leatherman EOD MUT, Gerber MP600 DET, Leatherman EOD Super Tool 300, and the SOG B63N-CP and B61N-CP.
Which EOD multi-tool is best?
The one that matches how you work. Weapons platform duties too? The EOD MUT. One-handed access matters most? The MP600 DET. Maximum plier strength and replaceable cutters? The Super Tool 300. Compound leverage for repeated crimping and cutting? Either SOG — with scissors (B61N-CP) or without (B63N-CP). All five carry cap crimpers; none of them is the wrong answer.
Leatherman EOD MUT vs Gerber MP600 DET — how do they differ?
The MUT is built around the weapons platform: firearm maintenance features plus EOD tooling in a MOLLE sheath. The MP600 DET is built around access speed: one-hand, flick-of-the-wrist opening directly to the crimper and cutter. Techs who live on a rifle tend toward the MUT; techs who need a hand free tend toward the DET.
What's the difference between the two SOG EOD multi-tools?
Scissors. The B61N-CP adds scissors to the same compound-leverage PowerLock platform as the B63N-CP — everything else, including the cap crimper and the geared leverage, is shared.
Do all five EOD multi-tools have a blasting cap crimper?
Yes. The cap crimper is what makes each of these an EOD variant of its platform. The supporting tooling differs — fuse wire cutters, det cord cutters, C4 punches, scissors — which is what the comparison table above sorts out.
