How To Use the Multitasker Twist Armorer’s Tool

Step 1. An Aimpoint Micro red-dot turret adjuster is located on the rear cap.

Step 2. The Twist’s sturdy pocket clip doubles as a light-duty flathead screwdriver.

Step 3. In the tip of the front cap is an 8/32-inch threaded post for attaching one of three included tools, such as the heavy-duty dental pick with brass shank. The post is also compatible with Otis cleaning accessories.

Step 4. A second tool that fits on the tip is a 3/32-inch pin punch, which is perfect for use on Glock pistols, among others.

Step 5. The third included tool is a radial carbon scraper, contoured for use on parts such as bolts and bolt carriers.

Step 6. Removing the rear cap reveals a magnetic ¼-inch hex bit holder with an M16A2-style adjustment tool to help dial in front sights.

Step 7. An additional tray of 10 general-purpose bits is included, with various screwdriver and hex tools to use with the ¼-inch hex bit holder.

All of the tools conveniently fit inside the small pen shape for easy storage.

The Twist is a pen-shaped multitool specially designed for weapon maintenance and cleaning, as well as optic and iron sight adjustments. Created by specialized firearms toolmaker Multitasker, the pocket-sized tool fits neatly into a range bag or even a shirt pocket.
