Gunsmithing and reloading tools

This collection gathers tools useful for assembling, disassembling, and maintaining firearms and reloading equipment: punch sets, gunsmithing hammers, torque wrenches, bench blocks, measuring instruments, and case trimmer replacement parts. Brands included are Real Avid, Wheeler Engineering, R2 USA, M•CARBO, Lee Precision, RCBS, and Lyman.

How to choose

• Task to perform: for pins and dowels, you need punches of the correct diameter; for mount and base screws, a torque wrench is recommended.
• Materials: brass or nylon tips reduce the risk of marring firearm surfaces.
• Compatibility: blocks, vises, and spare parts are often platform-specific (AR15, Glock, 1911) or specific to a trimmer model: check the product page.
