I'm especially fond of compact hand tools; from Swiss Army
knives to pocket multitools, I've owned and carried many. I've been aware of Fix
It Sticks and their various offerings for a while, but I'd never had a
chance to look at them in person until a recent trip to Nashville when I stopped at a
gun shop and saw they had some for sale.
I looked at the Shooting
& Hunting Edition and decided $35 plus tax was a reasonable price for
what was offered.

According to the Fix It Sticks Website:

Replaceable Set includes two sticks, bracket, and 16 different bits:The ultimate gun maintenance tool. Take the shop tool experience with you on the road.

One of the more interesting features of Fix It Sticks is
the ability to combine their parts into a T-handle to drive any bit. This gives the
user considerable extra leverage when dealing with overtightened or stuck
screws and bolts.
This kit has been added to my range bag for use at work. I'll likely
need to swap out or add bits for specific firearm screws, but that's just the
nature of the technology.
I have high hopes for this compact and versatile tool and,
so far, I consider it money well spent.
