Idea: Phantom Multi-tool

[Lane]

Hey guys, I was thinking the other day about making a phantom multi-tool. Something that contained all the necessary tools for maintaining your phantom and be small enough to go on a key chain or something you could have clipped to your gearbag, etc.  My question to you is what should it have?

Here's a picture of an AR-15 multi-tool...

a collapsible velocity adjuster

a hard line wrench

a hex key for the 12 gram changer

What Nitro said and couple of allen wrench ends

considering i don't go to the field without allen keys(people always need them), i don't need  a multi tool for those.....and since i have still yet to adjust my TPC, and have lost my rod years ago..........i don't need that.

the hardline wrench is an ok idea, but like my allen keys.....i have a 6" adjustable wrench that goes to the field with me........ leaving but one tool i need



but...if you wanted to tackle one, let's say you could take a short adjustable, add a flat head screw driver on there somewhere for the TPC (doesn't need to be LONG, people can remove the barrel) and the 2 main allens; 3/8, 5/32.  maybe the little one for the thumb screws.



i know it's ugly, and the chaintool isn't needed.......but it might be a start; if the patents could be worked around

Interesting idea but it may be overkill.

Velocity adjuster would be a little hard to incorporate into a tool and besides that you need 3-4 sizes of allen keys.  You really shouldn't need to adjust the hardline under normal circumstances

So, as Simon said...a set of allen keys, the velocity adjuster rod, and maybe a small adjustable wrench pretty much covers what you need. 

A multi tool specific for the gun may not be too cost effective IMHO.

True that Dave of the Chef variety. I mean even if you are a noob, you may have a set of allen wrenches laying around. An open end wrench (if applicable) and a flat blade screwdriver is all you need. Wow I never realized Phantoms were that simple, yet a blast to shoot

What's that ring-thing on #4 for?   

[thkyle]

It's a "detent ring"......prevent rollouts and double feeds.

now that i have one of those too, i'll have to remember that terry

It's a "detent ring"......prevent rollouts and double feeds.

That's Hilarious!

It's a "detent ring"......prevent rollouts and double feeds.

"Double feeds" are a result of operator error.  Practice your technique and this should go away.

Are we looking at something to carry on the field ??

Hey Lane what would you make this multi-tool out of?
