Specifically made to service AR platform firearms, this new toolkit has an amazing assortment of the most important specialized and general use tools, bits, and a torque driver to properly set up, maintain and accessorize any AR rifle or pistol. The kit is capable enough to use on the bench, but portable enough to easily take to the range, out in the field, keep in a vehicle or ATV, etc. Like all Fix It Sticks products, the AR Field Armorer’s Toolkit was developed with input from gunsmiths, competitive shooters, law enforcement and military, and optics and accessory manufacturers.

AR Field Armorer’s Toolkit has AR platform specific tools and components such as a .223 Bolt Scraper, .308 Bolt Scraper, Castle Nut Wrench, A2 Sight Adjuster, AR-15 Extractor Tool, AR10 Extractor Tool, Pivot Pin Punches, Bolt Catch Pin Punch, and an AR Bench Block. Other premium components include the most commonly needed hex bits and punches, a brass hammerhead, cleaning brush, and a magnetic tray to prevent losing small parts and a take-down brass cleaning rod.

A Fix It Sticks Ratchet T-Handle w/Locking Hex Drive and an All-In-One Torque limiter are also included. The Ratchet T-Handle w/Locking Hex Drive works with any quarter inch hex bit, but also allows the use of tools that require a pulling motion such as the cleaning rods.
