Coming soon the new ULTRALIGHT and TUBE Multi-tools from Multitasker. They are designed around the needs of an AR user with AR-specific functions. So far I’m impressed with the high quality and functionality of both.

The ULTRALIGHT comes with a MOLLE compatible heavy duty carry pouch which holds the tool and 10 bits in sizes most commonly associated with an AR/M16 and AR accessories.

-Textured G10 Side Panels

-Brass shanked dental pick/scraper, which is threaded to the Ultralight with 8-32 male threads compatible with the OTIS cleaning kit, so you can use the flexible cleaning rod and brushes.

- Bolt Tail and Carrier carbon scraper with unique bent-tip radiused edge.

- Receiver Extension Castel-Nut Wrench with built-in 5/16” Flat-tip screwdriver.

-Magnetic bit holder with 10 assorted bits to include an A2 style 4-prong Front Sight Post adjuster.

-Each tool has its own separate liner lock.

- Built-In Lanyard Loop with Pocket Clip.

- 4.25” X 1.00” X 0.75”, weighs 6oz

The TUBE comes with a heavy duty storage case which holds the tool and 10 bits in sizes most commonly associated with an AR/M16 and AR accessories. The storage case is outfitted with internal elastic straps and pockets to secure the accessories.

- CNC machined from 6061T6 aluminum

- The same Bolt Tail and Carrier carbon scraper found on the Ultralight Multi-tool, removable and interchangeable with the brass shanked dental pick/scraper.

- As with the Ultralight Multi-tool, the TUBE is threaded with 8-32 male threads compatible with the OTIS cleaning kit pull cable and accessories.

- Lower Receiver Pivot Pin/Take-down Pin punch.

- Pocket Clip which also serves as a flat-tip screwdriver.

- Magnetic bit holder with 10 assorted bits to include an A2 style 4-prong Front Sight Post adjuster.

- 5.25” long x 5/8” diameter, weighs 2oz

The ULTRALIGHT is compact, robust, easy to use and can be carried easily. You pretty much have all the tools you need for cleaning and maintenance at the range or in the field in one compact package mountable on a chest rig/MOLLE vest. If you own an AR the ULTRALIGHT is definitely worth having.

The pouch leaves room for improvement, I find that the ULTRALIGHT sits a bit loose. Adding an elasting strap in front of the bits to secure the dental pick/scraper when using OTIS accessories would be a handy addition.


The TUBE is so small and lightweight that you can easy carry it in your pocket or in your GI cleaning kit. A great handy AR specific Multi-tool.


They will be available through Brownells around 8/10.

I've been using both of these in prototype for since SHOT, and there is no question in my mind that Multitasker has created an outstanding product.  

I'll have a long term review up on these shortly, and I think you covered the based nicely.
