Actually specifically asking about the wrench itself... I have a bunch of choke tubes already

Do you currently have a choke wrench that would otherwise work? If so what kind is it? If it's the factory Benelli one, I'd just modify/make an extension for it.
I was thinking the same or just grabbing an inexpensive one online and fabricating an extension for it. But was wondering if people have found a aftermarket one available
This is how I do it, perhaps it will work for you.
Tactical Ordnance Extended Choke Wrench is designed to remove your choke with ease. The extended length and incorporated bronze 12ga. brush easily removes the choke and holds it in place during removal and istallation. In addition the extended length allows to easily install and remove chokes if your shotgun has a brake. CNC manufcatured to tight tolerances from hardened stainless steel, it is a great additonal to your shotgun tool kit and easy to use.

Fits most chokes

Makes removing/installing our chokes easy when you have a brake installed on your shotgun.

I just use the choke wrench to loosen/tighten the choke, a simple twisting of my index finger stuck in the choke does the rest.
The TacOrd choke wrench is great for muzzle brakes but won’t work on the NovaSpeed…not long enough to clear the mag tube.
Instead, you need something like this…which I am pretty sure came with my Nova Speed.
That's quite the mag tube
Thanks for the pics, really brings it into perspective.
I am sure Casey could extend his wrench upon request for an additional fee, but your set up seems less expensive.
Is that something you made yourself?
No…I am pretty sure Benelli included it with the NovaSpeed.
Remington make a wrench style that would work (they are out there but harder to find with Remington going the way of the Dodo). I have one of these and really like it. The 3/8 ratchet receiver is nice too should you have one that is on the tighter side (as I have found out).

I hate to flex on Innavedaw but mines biggerHow many rounds does that thing hold?
. I can hold 16 standard birdshot...looks a bit goofy but cuts down on the reloading and no one mistakenly grabs my shotgun off the rack lol. No need for a special tool to change chokes, break it loose with a standard choke wrench, fingers do the rest.I hate to flex on Innavedaw but mines bigger
Is there a limit on the number you can start with? Or can that be fully loaded at the start?
Reloading is the biggest time constraint IMO.
Light Mod / Skeet 2 is probably the best all round choke for the distances shot at typical IPSC type matches.
I have pretty much been doing this but plan to play around a little to see if it works better (or worse)

Just depends on the stage. Some stages may have a limit, some might even have an unloaded start, it's up to the stage designer. I'm speaking of 3gun matches here, I don't shoot IPSC shotgun. Guys with semis can run faster than pumps so this helps level the playing field since 3gun matches typically do not distinguish between pumps and semis in their divisions.
Runningfool flexes on me at every opportunity so don’t believe him when he says he hates it…
Mine fits 12 plus 1…which is almost perfect for IPSC Modified division which limits your starting load to 14 rounds.
I think I will pick up a pump at some point. Been mulling it for a while and I have the itch.
It would be the Benelli SuperNova as it looks pretty well race ready as it comes. Benelli have sales every once in a while and these seem like a great deal when that roles around.
One question for those that run these, am I correct in saying that the pump "locks" forward when a round is chambered and wont release until the trigger is pulled? Making it impossible to accidentally pull the pump back a little and fire out of battery?
I generally grip like a gorilla and instinctively pull back hard with my left hand (which would be the pumping hand) hence the question.
