The lightweight and extremely versatile Combat Optic Tool should have a home in everyone’s range bag.
Our good buddy, Lt. Col. of Marines (ret.) Freddie Blish, of Patriot Products AZ, recently sent us an early sample of their latest product, the Combat Optic Tool. Freddie is a hard shooter, and having worked at Aimpoint, LaRue Tactical, and Gunsite Academy, he has a firm understanding of what shooters need, and what they don’t. It is no surprise, then, that he is the brains behind this extremely handy little device. At about 3-inches long, it incorporates several extremely handy adjustment tools for anyone who uses a modern optical sight on their pistol or long gun. Regardless of what optic or mount you run, this neat little tool will work with your sighting system. It will adjust windage and elevation on all Aimpoint, EOTech, Trijicon ACOG and RMR sights and tighten the mounting nuts on LaRue Tactical, GDI and ADM mounts as well.
Here are just some of the applications of this ingenious little tool:
The Combat Optic Tool is designed to make elevation and windage changes on the Aimpoint Micro T-1/H-1 series sights.
The round end of the Combat Optic Tool will interface with nearly any adjustment or cap designed for turning with a coin, but won’t mar your scope.
Again, the rounded, blunt end can unscrew protective caps designed to interface with coins, but provides significantly more control and torque.
For those that run EOTechs, the Combat Optic Tool will tighten the locking cross screw and make windage/elevation adjustments.
The wrench end is self adjusting and is compatible with 3/8″ LaRue Tactical mount adjustment screws as well as 10mm Aimpoint mounts.
And, after a long day on the range, this function may be the most important!
This function should be fairly self-explanatory.
The Combat Optic Tool retails for $14.95 and will be available from the vendors listed below very soon.
Well done Freddie!
Thanks Joe!
