New From DS Arms: The Z Hawk Armorers Tool…and Tomahawk

There are no words. That’s something that should only be seen on a shop at home channel at 3 in the morning.

just showing that picture should be cause for a disturbing the peace charge.

“In tonight’s news, a gun nut was found dead in his house lying in a pool of blood. He was apparently trying to assemble an evil assault rifle. Various anti-gun groups celebrated on social media.”

The 1/2″ drive will be handy when you need a breaker bar to remove the blade from your flesh.

I hurt myself with normal tools often enough thanks.

This would handy when someone sneaks up on you while assembling your ARs. Never can be too prepared. Perfect for when you have to swap your uppers and handguards mid shoot out too.

every time i think we’ve come up with all the dumb gun things in the world, i just keep getting surprised

This is as important an investment as a t.v. remote that also slices and dices vegetables.

Buy now and we’ll include a whole set of armorer’s screwdrivers with grips made of rusty fish hooks! You’ll never want to put them down!

no ttag rifles for testing from ds. will they ship one of these to ttak for review?

For the gunsmith with difficult customers, this is both shop tool, and tool persuader.

This was some kind of gag; RIGHT?

Hit the claxxon button before removing this tool from your range bag.

If an armorer’s tool is $39 and a medievil armorer’s tool is $49…?
Go medievil.

Fifty shades of gunsmithing.

“A modern rifle is a precision instrument that requires specialized tool to properly assemble and maintain. Now hand me my tomahawk, I’ve gotta adjust the gas system on my AR…”

I don’t think that screwdriver is long enough to get up inside the pistol grip or even undo the fixed butt stock. If not for that I would surely buy one, cuz I’m a moron.

Man, this beats the heck out of the tire iron-lupara combo I invented (patent pending).

I’ve earned and learned a bit of time in the ER/OR.
This thing makes me want to learn more.
I want.

Quite aside from the general lunacy of putting razor sharp blades on a wrench, whoever “designed” this apparently doesn’t have a real strong idea of what a screwdriver is or what is used for.

Ah, the horrors of uprotected sex! That steamy one-night stand between VI AX and Leatherman Piranha…

For when you absolutely positively must meet that cute nurse who works in the ER on second shift. Their tag line should be, “It’s a great conversation starter when you want her phone number…”

I am all for tools that serve multiple purposes but really?

Good idea, horrible execution.

Okay, it includes a castle nut wrench, barrel nut wrench, flash hider wrench, A2 receiver extension wrench, a bottle opener, a base that can be used as a hammer, a lanyard loop and let’s not forget that handy dandy femoral artery slicing tool.

Tell me, oh armorer of the future, can it core a apple?

I thought it was impossible.

But someone managed it. They managed to invent something dumber than the tac sack.

Since it’s a hawk, does it fetch Gemeralds too?

Comments are great! Got a good laugh. Zod’s was hysterical.

This is what you get when you mix Darwinism and Murphy’s Law. Though I don’t know that Darwin needs any help.

Worthless without a rail, so I can mount a bayonet!

From their website……

Important safety information. This item is not a toy. This item is a tool. This item is inherently dangerous. This item should only be used as the manufacturer originally intended. This item has an edge and as such can potentially harm the user and others. DS Arms shall not be responsible for any misuse or damages as a result of misuse or the item being use in a way other than the originally intended purposes.

So let me step out on a limb here and ask….
When I’m cranking down on my castle nut (while drunk mind you because I’ve used the bottle opener correctly) and cut my left testicle off then who’s responsible? Wasn’t I clearly using it for originally intended purposes? They should hire a better lawyer to come up with their idiot clause.

Can I just get the TOMAHAWK:)

Look at the 3rd picture. The one that shows the “features” from the rear. I especially like the Castle Nut/Lock Ring Wrench “feature”. I picture some goodun out in the garage with his wife holding the rifle across her lap while she sits indian style on the floor. He’s beating the hell out of the castle nut with the blade telling her that the package says this is the right way to do it. This right here guys is why we can’t have anything anymore. SMFH!!!!

Can we cue the Black Knight from Monty Python’s Holy Grail?

“It’s only a flesh wound.”

Bought one a couple years ago – blade arrives dull, but a few minutes on the grinder took care of that. It’s actually a pretty nice, versatile tool. If I can keep my paws out of the spinning tools or workpieces of my lathe or mill, I figure I’m competent to avoid slicing my thumb off with the sheathed blade of the Z-Hawk.

If it’s made in USA I want one. I like multi tools.

Hard pass.

I don’t want my armorer’s tool to have sharp edges. This is silly.

I honestly cannot conceive of a use for this item.

All the actual AR-15 armorer functions of this device require a bench vise to hold the workpiece/rifle upper.

Are you going to wander around the woods packing an AR-15, a hatchet/armor’s tool, a vise and a bench to mount the vise on? I don’t think so.

If you’re in a shop with a vise mounted on a bench, would you ever use such a dangerous tool when you have your set of for-real armorer’s tools? No.

A tourniquet, Israeli bandage, and tetanus shot included with purchase.

Might be a little tricky in use as an armorer’s tool, lots of sharp place’s to put hands for leverage, hope it comes with a sheath of sorts or it may wreck an assault pack pretty quick, Other wise how’s for chopping, brush removal, throwing and hammering?
Yea a real tactical Tomahawk! missing wire fence cutter!

Well…. if.. you absolutely need your fire arm,
and absolutely need it fixed.
You may need the tool even more,
for something other then fixing the firearm.

When you are pinned down, or just adventurous at the range why not produce this to prove your sanity? I invented the Entrenching tool that doubles for a brush scythe or ax, it can be folded to double for a mess kit. Just don’t dig latrine trenches. I have enjoyed reading these comments, almost fell out of the chair on a couple and if anyone comes up with a Bozo idea this is the place to test it.

This is a solution hunting for a problem no one has ever had unless someone really feels they have an over abundance of fingers they need to remove creatively.
