  • Designed specifically for stuck choke removal, so it is a single-purpose tool rather than a general-purpose gun maintenance item.
  • Use requires care and correct technique; the product notes that muzzle damage can result if it is used incorrectly.
  • Fit is gauge-specific, and this version is for 12 gauge only.
  • The tool is intended for chokes that will not move with ordinary tools, so it may be unnecessary for routine choke changes.
