Real Avid has an all new entry sure to appear to the DIY gunsmiths and tinkerers out there. The Master Bench Block Pro Kit, which comprises the Bench Block Pro alongside a set of tools that complement the block, allows the user to work on some of the most intricate firearm assemblies around. These tools include punches, a hammer with additional heads and two smart clamps to secure hard-to-handle parts and pieces, all stored within the block itself.

Rubberized overmolding adorns the work-surface of the block, which can be used to stabilize larger parts while stippling or driving pins, while 14 holes and sizeable grooves accommodate a wide variety of said parts: from 1911 slides, to AR-15 parts, to fully custom jobs. A catch tray and magnet beneath are included to snag parts should they slip.
