Gerber Short Stack AR-15 Multi-Tool ?

[clodhopper]

Anyone had a chance to try one? I like how compact it is, but can't seem to determine if it is more gimmicky or a good addition to "the bag".

nope, saw one earlier though on the web, seems like it might be handy.

I really like gerber products. I would say it fills an extreme niche. It's designed to store in the grip. I'd rather have real tools and keep the weight off my gun

I do think having a compact castle nut wrench could be really handy on its own. The cleaning/scraping aspects are also nice and a CAT tool can cost $35 on its own. I could see myself adding one of these to my range bag.

If one showed up in my stocking on Christmas morning, I wouldn't re-gift it.

Dedicated tools are generally better but I can't see it hurt to have this around.

They are out of stock right now but you can get it $12 cheaper on amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Gerber-Short-Stack-Maintenance-30-001113/dp/B0119KY2BM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1452627205&sr=8-1&keywords=Gerber+Short+Stack+AR-15+Multi-Tool+Black

I played with one off and on for a month now. Like blacklabel said, dedicated tools are better, but this thing can do in a pinch in the middle of nowhere and it fits into a Magpul AR handle. I wish I had one during my last Iraq tour.
