Overview

This base/handle unit is intended for hunters and gunsmiths building a modular action wrench setup or replacing a worn handle in an existing system. It provides the core piece for pairing with interchangeable heads, allowing a single handle to support different applications as needs change. Made of blued steel, it offers a straightforward, no-frills foundation for a custom wrench arrangement. At 12 3/4 inches long and 1 inch in diameter, it is sized for bench use where a dedicated handle is needed.

  • The unit is described as blued steel, but no other material or finish details are provided here.
