Gerber SPAN Shotgun Tool

Karl Badger | Western States Regional ProStaff Manager

ShotgunTool_ll Every Thanksgiving I put my bow down and head out to the Farmington Bay Waterfowl Refuge in northern Utah with family and friends. Almost always, this traditional event requires some type of work to be done on my shotgun. This year was no exception.

Fortunately, I'm now carrying in my pocket the new Gerber SPAN Shotgun Tool. Gerber, a long time Mossy Oak partner, has recently come out with a great new tool for Shot-gunners.This tool has the same purpose as the Archery Span, to give the Sportsman a unique and well-designed field tool for adjustments and repairs.

It's a compact tool that fits in your pocket and offers 14 different functions on one solid state structure. It includes:

Choke Tube Wrench
Pin Punch and Solid Tapping Surface
Elevation and Windage Scope Adjustment
A ¼ inch Standard Bit-Tip Driver
Detachable set of 6 Universal Bit-tips

The ergonomic “T” shape design is comfortable to use and has great torque for leveraging adjustments and repairs.

If you're looking for a great gift for a Shot-gunner or a tool to see you through the final weeks of your waterfowl season or upcoming Turkey Hunts, I recommend the SPAN Shotgun tool.
