Real Avid is continuing its tool-making tradition for 2024 with a must-have bench block for the hands-on gun DIYers in the crowd, and this kit is more than just a bench block for the workspace.

The Master Bench Block Pro Kit is comprised of two main components, the Bench Block Pro, which is available for purchase separately, and a set of necessary tools for working on some of the most intricate firearm assemblies. Clearly marked throughout, this latest Real Avid kit supplies users with punches, a hammer with additional heads and two smart clamps to secure hard-to-handle parts and pieces.

Rubber overmolding is included to help secure the work surface, and 14 strategic holes and larger grooves allow for myriad gun types and parts, whether it be an M1911 slide, AR-15 components or for custom work such as engraving, polishing and more. There’s even a catch tray and magnet included to capture parts.

Gunsmithing options for the Master Bench Block Pro Kit are endless. MSRP is set for $80. For more details, watch our “New For 2024” video above.
