class=\"wp-caption-text\">As well as universal features.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>[\/one_half_last]<\/p>\n<p>Each of these tools&#8217; gun-specific functions are nice and convenient. It&#8217;s also clear that some of these functions are there to round out the numbers. Features like the 1-inch rulers don&#8217;t need to be there but hey, why not. And a bottle opener isn&#8217;t going to come in handy at the range &#8212; not until the shooting is over, anyway.<\/p>\n<p>But other features like the shotgun Micro Tool&#8217;s universal choke wrench or the AR-15 Micro Tool&#8217;s front sight adjustment tool can be lifesavers. As long as they have the necessary functions the extras are just nice to have. Everybody has been in a situation where they needed something to pry with, screw with or generally improvise with.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s the basic idea behind these Micro Tools &#8212; they do a specific job well enough but might also come in handy in a pinch. And since they don&#8217;t weigh much you take them with you wherever.<\/p>\n<p>Plus these Micro Tools are a great way to show your love for shooting. They are keychains after all, they&#8217;re bound to start a conversation or two.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_64000\" style=\"width: 177px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/1911-micro-tool.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"gear-review-ar15-1911-shotgun-micro-multitools-under-20\" title=\"Gear Review: Handy AR-15, 1911 and Shotgun Micro MultiTools for under $20\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-64000\" title=\"Gear Review: Handy AR-15, 1911 and Shotgun Micro MultiTools for under \" class=\"size-medium wp-image-64000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/1911-micro-tool-167x300.jpg\" alt=\"The 1911 Micro Tool from Real Avid packs in a bushing wrench, pin punch, screwdriver and many more handy tools. \" width=\"167\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/1911-micro-tool-167x300.jpg 167w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/1911-micro-tool-83x150.jpg 83w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/1911-micro-tool.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 167px) 100vw, 167px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-64000\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The 1911 Micro Tool from Real Avid packs in a bushing wrench, pin punch, screwdriver and many more handy tools.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>In use we found that one of these tools really stood out &#8212; and one could use a little improvement. Let&#8217;s be clear: these aren&#8217;t intended to be the best tools ever made. They&#8217;re the best tool you always have in your pocket or bag or day pack.<\/p>\n<p>That said, the 1911 tool still came up a bit short. The stamped steel body was not linished after cutting and it has some sharp corners \u2014\u00a0right around the barrel bushing tool. They are on the back side of the tool, however, if a user accidentally uses it upside-down &#8212; which is easy because it&#8217;s reversible \u2014\u00a0the tool could easily scratch the finish on the 1911.<\/p>\n<p>And the 1911 Micro Tool only has a standard screwdriver. For anyone using hex head grip screws the tool won&#8217;t help them take their grips off. Still, the pin punch design is solid and locks open with a liner lock-style mechanism. A detent holds it shut. And of course the other tools are still better than nothing.<\/p>\n<p>The Shotgun Micro Tool&#8217;s universal choke wrench performed as advertised. While it&#8217;s no substitute for a drum choke tool with long grip handles it did the job well enough. It takes a little more attention to keep it timed with the choke cuts but if you needed to change chokes in the field it will work.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_64002\" style=\"width: 177px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/shotgun-micro-tool.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"gear-review-ar15-1911-shotgun-micro-multitools-under-20\" title=\"Gear Review: Handy AR-15, 1911 and Shotgun Micro MultiTools for under $20\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-64002\" title=\"Gear Review: Handy AR-15, 1911 and Shotgun Micro MultiTools for under \" class=\"size-medium wp-image-64002\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/shotgun-micro-tool-167x300.jpg\" alt=\"The Real Avid Micro Shotgun Tool features handy tools such as a pin punch, hex wrenches and a universal choke wrench.\" width=\"167\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/shotgun-micro-tool-167x300.jpg 167w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/shotgun-micro-tool-83x150.jpg 83w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/shotgun-micro-tool.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 167px) 100vw, 167px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-64002\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Real Avid Micro Shotgun Tool features handy tools such as a pin punch, hex wrenches and a universal choke wrench.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The universal choke wrench has a toothed side and a smooth side. This ensures that the toothed side has a solid shoulder to twist with on one side and a &#8220;good enough&#8221; shoulder on the other side. Think of it as a well-loved, broken-in choke wrench. It&#8217;s a little finicky but it&#8217;ll do.<\/p>\n<p>The AR-15 Micro Tool is the best of the lot. It&#8217;s also built to a higher standard. The tool body is nearly twice as thick as the 1911 and shotgun tools and the rotating punch\/front sight adjustment tool\/scraper\/cutter tool uses a much heavier detent locking system.<\/p>\n<p>The scrapers aren&#8217;t sharp but they&#8217;ll get a stalled rifle up and running no problem. And the screwdriver is shaped precisely enough to use as a scope adjustment tool as well.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike the other tools you could easily use the AR-15 Micro Tool as an improvised striking surface \u2014 which is probably not what Real Avid had in mind when they made this thing, but it would work just fine. Its hourglass shape was designed to be used with force, that much is clear.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_64001\" style=\"width: 177px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/ar-15-micro-tool.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"gear-review-ar15-1911-shotgun-micro-multitools-under-20\" title=\"Gear Review: Handy AR-15, 1911 and Shotgun Micro MultiTools for under $20\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-64001\" title=\"Gear Review: Handy AR-15, 1911 and Shotgun Micro MultiTools for under \" class=\"size-medium wp-image-64001\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/ar-15-micro-tool-167x300.jpg\" alt=\"The AR-15 tool packs in a bolt scraper, hex wrenches, front sight tool and many more.\" width=\"167\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/ar-15-micro-tool-167x300.jpg 167w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/ar-15-micro-tool-83x150.jpg 83w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/ar-15-micro-tool.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 167px) 100vw, 167px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-64001\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The AR-15 tool packs in a bolt scraper, hex wrenches, front sight tool and many more.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The AR-15 Micro Tool costs a little more than the other at around $20 \u2014\u00a0the other tools run $10.

Some gun owners think they own everything &#8212; but do they have a keychain multitool for shotguns?<\/p>\n<p>For the price all of these are worth consideration for your range bag or your everyday carry kit.
