Wasn't sure if I should put this here or in gunsmiting. Just got my regular e-update from Brownells and saw this little tool featured in their new products line. It's $89.95 but if you're eligible for the military/LEO discount, it drops to $69.95. It looks like a handy item to have in the range bag but the cost adds up once they put it in the mail to Canada.

Anyone have any thoughts about this thing? Worth the money or not?

Compact, all-in-one pocket toolkit has 11 basic tools needed to clean and service any AR-type rifle just about anywhere—at the range, in the field, on deployment. Think of it as a Swiss army knife for your rifle that’s so convenient and easy to use you may even reach for it at the workbench when other tools are available.

Includes A1 (5-pin ) and A2 (4-pin) front sight adjustment tools, A1 rear sight adjustment tool, bolt carrier carbon scraper, screw-on 8-32 tpi bronze brush for cleaning bolt and bolt carrier key, pull-through bore cleaning cable with patch loop (also accepts the brush), broken shell extractor, receiver extension nut wrench for rifles with M4-style collapsible stock, screwdriver that also serves as a bolt face carbon scraper, small pin punch for disassembling bolt, and large pin punch for removing receiver takedown pins. Folds up into a compact 4 ½" x 1½" x 1¼" package that weighs a little more than a pound and fits in its rugged ballistic nylon case that clips to your belt with a sturdy spring steel belt clip.

SPECS: Steel, black finish. 18½ ounces (524g) weight. Fits .223/5.56 AR-type rifles including AR-15, M16A1/A2/A4, M4, and CAR-15. Instructions included.

Worth the money: probably yes..

My thoughts: I don't need all those tools at the range... When I leave home, the ARs are in top shape and I have yet to have one fail or need such "repair" that all of my tool box was needed. Cleaning kit, allen keys and a screwdriver work for me.
