The Briley choke tubes just installed in my gun have two wrenches-
1. Speed wrench that is very easy to use but a little awkward to carry,
so it stays in the side pocket of the soft gun case,
and
2. T- handle that should fit nicely in the fifth compartment of the tube box, but does not because of the T-bar. So I slid off the plastic end pieces on the T-bar, carefully drove out the bar (roll pin punch helps), and enlarged the hole for T-bar slightly. Now the T-bar slides in with just a little friction and is held in place when I slide the plastic end pieces back on. Disassembled, it fits in the fifth compartment of the tube box so I don't have to worry about leaving it behind. Much easier to do than to describe.

Somewhere, in this big wide world, there may be just one person who will find this useful.....
maybe:rolleyes:

Jim, I will add to that, if you don't mind, that the flat stamped sheetmetal type choke wrenches make excellent zipper toggles on your hunting/shooting coat . I use the Browning wrenches, they will do 12 and 20 gauge.

Thanks for posting that tip, Jim. Thou art a true Gearhead!

One of the big advantages of the old Truchoke system was the fact that the wrench was a standard US quarter. Not equalled for cost, portability nor availability...

I'll have to see if Briley makes a flat wrench like that, the zipper pull idea is great.

Darn it, the quarters hit the fixed muzzle before they fit my Briley slots.
