Winchester 51-piece Gun Smith Screwdriver Set
This is the kit you need if you’re going to be doing simple DIY gun maintenance and repairs. A 51-piece kit can’t have everything in it since every firearm manufacturer builds their guns differently, but it has most of what you need. If you can’t fix the problem with the tools that are in this kit, a shell extractor, and some gun lube, then you probably need to take it to a gunsmith or have it serviced by the manufacturer if your warranty is still in effect.
Here’s what you get: driver with magnetic tip, 12 flat head bits, 8 hex bits, 4 Phillips bits, 2 extra long Phillips bits, 7 Torx bits, 4 Robertson bits, 4 tri-wing bits, 3 clutch bits, 2 spline bits, 3 torq bits, and a 1″ socket adapter. Everything fits nicely in the double injected form fitted case.
At under $20, you should have this 51-piece Winchester gunsmith screwdriver set at home on your workbench and keep one in your range bag. Don’t put yourself into a situation where you’re away from home and end up damaging the finish or stripping out hard-to-replace pieces because you had to improvise with a tool that’s not meant for firearms. There’s also good chance you may save someone else’s day with this kit by lending a hand and keeping them on the firing line.
I just bought another of these kits to keep in my truck glove box. I haven’t had to use it yet, but I have been in situations in the past where being able to remove or install one stupid little fastener that you don’t have the tool for is looking at you and laughing because it’s the only thing keeping you or someone else from getting home or making a piece of equipment work.
The only problem I experienced was the magnet coming out of the screwdriver. I fixed it with a couple drops of Gorilla Glue. Like most tools these days, these are made in China. However, I haven’t had any problems with bits wearing out prematurely like I’ve experienced with other imported tools.
Anyone who owns at least one gun should have this kit or something comparable. It would also make a great gift for that young person who has finally proven that they can be trusted to operate, store, and maintain their own firearm.
