For every dedicated firearm owner, whether you're a competitive shooter, a seasoned hunter, or simply enjoy a day at the shooting range, unexpected issues can arise.

Solving Common Challenges at the Range and in the Field

What are the essential tools for a day at the shooting range, or for field maintenance during a hunt? How do I quickly adjust my laser sight without stripping the tiny screws?

• Unexpected Malfunctions: A loose grip screw, a wobbly sight, or a pin that needs nudging back into place can be quickly addressed, saving your day.
• Routine Adjustments: Precise adjustments to laser sights, tightening accessories, or fine-tuning optics are made simple with the included hex keys and bit driver.
• Field Cleaning and Maintenance: Gentle removal of carbon buildup and light lubrication tasks are easier with the specialized pick/scraper and access to tight spaces.
• 1911 Disassembly: The integrated 1911 bushing wrench is a game-changer for owners of these classic pistols, allowing for swift and safe field stripping.
• General Utility: From opening ammunition boxes to cutting cordage, the robust knife blade proves useful for a myriad of non-firearm-specific tasks.

The peace of mind that comes with knowing you have the right tools readily available is invaluable. The Avid AVPSTL ensures that minor setbacks don't turn into major frustrations, keeping you focused on your shooting performance and enjoyment.

A Deep Dive into the Avid AVPSTL Micro Shotgun Tool's Features

Each component of the Avid AVPSTL has been thoughtfully selected and designed to maximize utility and durability in a minimal footprint. Here’s a closer look at what makes this tool exceptional:

• Titanium Coated Stainless Steel Components: Durability is paramount for tools used in demanding environments. The components of the Avid AVPSTL are crafted from high-quality stainless steel, further enhanced with a robust titanium coating. This advanced coating provides superior resistance to corrosion, wear, and abrasion, ensuring the tool maintains its integrity and performance through years of rigorous use. It’s built to withstand the elements and the wear and tear of a busy range or challenging outdoor conditions, offering reliability that firearm owners can trust.
• Dedicated 1911 Government and Officer Bushing Wrench: For owners of the iconic 1911 pistol, removing the barrel bushing can sometimes be a challenging task, often requiring specific tools to prevent damage to the firearm's finish or injury to the user. The Avid AVPSTL integrates a precisely engineered wrench specifically designed for both Government and Officer models of the 1911. This specialized tool provides the leverage and secure grip needed to safely and efficiently remove and replace the barrel bushing, simplifying routine cleaning, maintenance, and field stripping of your cherished 1911. It's a critical inclusion that sets this multi-tool apart for 1911 enthusiasts.
• Four Bondhus Protanium Hex Keys for Laser Sights: Precision is key when it comes to zeroing laser sights. The Avid AVPSTL includes a set of four high-quality hex keys, specifically manufactured by Bondhus, renowned for their "Protanium" steel which resists cam-out and stripping. These keys are perfectly sized to fit the small adjustment screws commonly found on popular laser sights and optics, such as those from Crimson Trace, Viridian, and various rail-mounted lasers. With these reliable hex keys, you can make quick, accurate adjustments to your laser point of aim, ensuring your shots are always on target, even in the field or during a competition. The superior fit and strength of Bondhus keys reduce the risk of rounding out delicate screws.
• Non-Hardened Stainless Steel Pick/Scraper: Cleaning carbon buildup, grime, and debris from the intricate parts of a firearm requires a tool that is effective yet gentle. The Avid AVPSTL features a non-hardened stainless steel pick/scraper. Its softer composition compared to hardened steel ensures that it won't scratch or damage the delicate finishes or precision-machined surfaces of your firearm's components, such as the bolt carrier group, chamber, or trigger assembly. This versatile tool is ideal for meticulously removing fouling from hard-to-reach areas, ensuring your firearm remains clean and functions optimally without causing unnecessary wear.
• 2.5" Long Bit Driver with Standard 8-32 Threaded Pin Punch: Versatility is a hallmark of this tool. It includes a 2.5-inch long bit driver, designed to accept any standard 1/4-inch hex bits. This length is particularly useful for reaching recessed screws on grips, optics mounts, or accessory rails that shorter drivers might miss. Integrated seamlessly is a 3/32" pin punch, invaluable for drifting out pins in triggers, sights, or receiver assemblies. Notably, this pin punch features an 8-32 thread, which is the universal standard for firearm cleaning rods and accessories. This allows the punch to double as a versatile attachment point for cleaning brushes, jags, or patches, extending the tool's utility beyond mere mechanical adjustments into comprehensive cleaning.
• Robust 3" Tanto Knife Blade: A good multi-tool isn't complete without a reliable knife, and the Avid AVPSTL delivers with a strong 3-inch Tanto style blade. The Tanto blade is recognized for its robust tip, which excels at piercing and general utility tasks, making it ideal for opening packages, cutting cordage, or managing other camp or range needs. Whether you need to open an ammo box, trim a loose thread, or handle a minor emergency, this sharp and durable blade is ready for action, adding a layer of practical versatility to your daily carry.
• Six Hex Bits with Ball Detents: To complement the bit driver, the Avid AVPSTL comes equipped with a selection of six commonly used hex bits. Each bit features a ball detent, ensuring a secure fit within the driver and preventing accidental loss during use. These bits cover a range of sizes vital for various screws found on firearms and accessories, providing the right fit for scope rings, rail attachments, and various firearm components. The convenience of having these common bits integrated means you won't be caught without the specific driver you need.
• Fine Tooth Metal File: For minor deburring, smoothing rough edges, or even making slight adjustments to a sight dovetail, a fine tooth metal file is an invaluable asset. The Avid AVPSTL includes such a file, perfectly sized for precision work. It's ideal for carefully addressing burrs that might develop on firearm parts, or for making those minuscule modifications that ensure optimal fit and function without the need for a full workshop setup.
• Integrated Tap Hammer Surface: Sometimes, a component just needs a little gentle persuasion. The Avid AVPSTL incorporates a flat, sturdy tap hammer surface. This feature is perfect for lightly tapping out stubborn pins, seating components, or gently aligning parts during reassembly, without resorting to damaging techniques. It provides a controlled impact surface, ensuring precision and preventing marring or damage to your firearm.
