Multitasker Series 3 AR Multitool

So this review is basically an update to the one I did on the Series 2 Multitasker, but I'll give plenty of detail since the one I did on the Series 2 seems to have disappeared.  There are several changes/improvements to the Series 3, but I must say I was really pleased with the Series 2 as you can see below.

First of all, the Multitasker is built like a tank.  It's built with CNC machining out of solid billet steel material.  The G10 scales make for a comfortable, non-slip grip.  These multitools are some of the most solid out there.  That being said they are a bit heavy, which should only be a consideration if you're looking at a long haul and need to pack light or prioritize.  This multitool should be prioritized high in your kit though.  Just as a fully functioning weapon will keep you alive, this multitool will keep your weapon alive.

In the picture above you can see the main differences.  The arrangement of the tools varies  slightly from the Series 2.  All tools seem to function just as well on the Series 3.  Below the difference in the pliers is shown.  These pliers are as solid as the jaws of life.  They've eaten through anything I've thrown at them so far and you can barely tell they've been used.

Bottom Line Up Front (BLUF):  If you own an AR style rifle you should own this tool and it should be in your range bag.  You will use it, guaranteed.  It's something you'll want two of so you can have one on your work bench and keep one in your range bag.  Military folks, your unit needs to buy some of these to keep in your range kit.  Everyone I've shown it to has been impressed.  I've used it for everything from quickie repairs to helping guys add accessories at gun shows.  The Multitasker MSRP is $180, but can usually be found from $140-$150 and F3 Tactical keeps them in stock regularly.
