Needed/wanted PCP tools?

[Ta-Ta Toothie]

VERY TRUE! Get the ones made for RC cars, etc. MIP among others make high precision hex keys.

MIP is the benchmark.

Agreed

Agreed - love my MIP tools!

Ahh!
Another opportunity to display my ignorance

What are digital clippers?

I think I corrected to digital caliper.

These MIP tools must be made of orichalcum from Atlantis. I'll look into it.

 

[Lewis]

All you need is this, and a 10mm socket!

 

[mr2lor]

Great list! It would be even better if you could add an Amazon link to each item as well.

"good set of gunsmithing/hollow ground screwdrivers."
Toque wrench for mounting scope rings ( Wheeler has a nice one if you buy better quality tips )

can't stress these enough !

While looking for an answer in the search function, I noticed a comment about reverse tweezers to make it easier to take out a hard-to-get oring. A little thing but it got me thinking about all the tools I have acquired for this hobby and thought it might be useful, especially for newbies, to compile a list. Please feel free to add.

So, here goes-

Micro scale for pellet weighing in grains
Reverse tweezers
Brass picks for orings
Digital caliper
Small needle nose pliers
Chronograph
SAE and metric Allen wrenches
Phillips screw drivers
Torque wrenches
Cleaning equipment (ie for barrels)
pcp filling equipment (compressor?)
Polishing tools
Clamping scissors
Small brushes
Flashlight
Endoscope for inspection
Bubble levels
Small vise
Air blowing device

Please participate!

I would add tools like picks should be hard plastic or nylon to prevent gouging brass surfaces or scratching our beautiful airguns
Add a
sharp razor knife
30 inch x .4 mm carbon rod for ejection of stuck pellets
Nylon jaw pliers
Pin punch set

Exactly why all my guns were converted to QD foster nipples

 

[Patrick1]

Awesome list; maybe add an amazon link to each item also?

I thought about this but, as is evidenced by the comments herein, there are many variations of each tool. The list would be “endless”!

 

[Gerry52]

Strap wrench?

 

[Ta-Ta Toothie]

Grooved, soft vise pads.

They are worth the price! They also will be offering larger sizes in the near future.

 

[TN_Yankee]

I’ll admit Amazon is convenient but many of the quality tool makers are small businesses, and they’ll benefit much more by buying direct.

 

[Treefrog]

I'd humbly add a lathe, milling machine, TIG welder, and drill press.

A 3D O-ring printer as well.

Cheers,
