M-4 Tool

Amazing tool. Thus far I've only used the bolt scraper section, but it's worth the price for that function alone. Two trips to the range with my new DD and the bolt had significant build up of carbon beyond the gas rings, and repeated applications of bore cleaner and scrubbing with a brass brush hardly dented it. 10 seconds with this tool and 98% of it was gone, without damaging the bolt. Absolutely invaluable.

I have bought a number of these. Not only do I have one for myself but they make great gifts for both my military brethren and my civilian friends and family. The Cat tool is just the best cleaning tool on the market hands down. I've tried the BONE and other products that work ok, this works great. If you carry a multi-tool and this, you'll be able to tackle most cleaning tasks on an AR/M-4 platform with ease. Even the so called AR multi-tools themselves don't work as good as this tool at cleaning the bolt, the bolt carrier, and the firing pin; undoubtedly the dirtiest parts, and hardest parts to keep clean. Within moments of disassembly, your weapon can be clean enough to reassemble and fire flawlessly. The option to use cleaning patches to really "GI" the crap out of your rifle is there too, but the idea that I can rip my gun down, give it a quick scrape, put it back together in order to be operational in moments, is a huge plus for me.

This actually works not bad for the price.

Great tool

All you need for cleaning and maintenance on your AR Rifle. Gets into the nooks and crannies, and scrapes carbon residue very efficiently.

(1) I like to clean my weapons every time I go to the range. (2) I love gadgets. (3) I never had any real trouble cleaning my bolt-carrier group in the first place. However, when I saw a tool that claimed to do so many tasked I had to give it a try. After using it several times, I am pleased with the tools performance. Everything is sized just right allowing access and cleaning of areas many just skip. I am sure this tool would be even more valuable to someone who had neglected their weapon, as it eases the tedious task of scraping "built-up" carbon fouling from all the nooks and crannies and key areas of the bolt-carrier group. What keeps this tool from earning 5 stars is price. I'm just not sure the value it provides is worth it the price you pay. I would be all in at $9.95, or even $19.95, but no this little piece of cast metal in a zip lock baggies cost $33.50 here on Amazon. You find it a little cheaper at Midway, but you'll pay shipping. In the end, it's really up to you. Yes it will help clean up a really could bolt-carrie group. But if your weapon stays relatively clean, your money may be best spent on another accessory.

Best AR tool I’ve ever used

You've probably read reviews claiming how much you need this tool. I had. I thought the price was high for a little scraper. I received it several days after a trip to the range, after I had already cleaned my rifle. I decided to disassemble my BCG anyway just to check the fit of the tool. I could hardly believe the amount of carbon I scraped off my previously "clean" parts. This is the first AR-15 I own and this was the first trip to the range with it, so just over 100 rounds or so down the barrel. I discovered that they're very dirty guns. Carbon seems to get in places that it just doesn't go on any of my other rifles. This little tool is well made and well thought out. It works well for cleaning various surfaces plus the firing pin, it is engineered with close tolerances to be particularly effective in cleaning the rear of the bolt. I hope I get a few thousand rounds through the rifle since I'm looking forward to hours and hours of cleaning with this tool. My only regret is that I didn't get two! I often go shooting with my son then we come home and clean our rifles at the same time, I can definitely foresee some challenges coming for "dibs" on this tool.
