| A somewhat unusual device, the Beretta Shotgun Tool is based upon a small but stout hammer. The handles unfold in such a way to give the tool a useful swing arc. Intended for firearms users and designed by a gunsmith, most of the blades tucked into the handles are useful for that trade. |
Head
Shape of the hammer head on the Shotgun Tool resembles a small sledge hammer. It is highly polished, with the Beretta logo stamped deeply on one side. The head is integral with a solid shank, the sides of which have three hex wrench cutouts in it.Handles/Frame
Two opposing handles enclose the shank of the hammer head. When they are completely foded down, it gives the hammer a useful swing arc, unlike other hammer multitools on the market today.The handles themselves are double-folded sheets of steel, similar to the Leatherman Wave. Another reminder of Leatherman is the pivot screws, which are knurl drive like an original PST.
