I know this article is a year or two old, but it might be worth noting/updating pricing info updated for items linked in the article. It turns out the Scepter cans from Bottom Line are priced at around $28 each, but they also charge exactly that much for shipping (it seems they charge a 100% shipping charge on all items), making them almost $60 each! That changes the cost basis considerably. I’ll give the Skilcraft/LCI branded ones a try since they are around $33/ea shipped directly via Amazon, assuming the sellers are legitimate (which is another issue with these items… knowing the pedigree of the seller). Caveat emptor.

The MUT is spendy, but for a purpose-built multi-tool centered on the AR (among other things), it is pretty unique, imho. There isn’t much else in that niche that does what it does. That said, not everyone is trained or proficient in things like maintaining an AR-15 in the field, so there’s that. 😉
