Real Avid Smart Bench Block – Universal

When you work on either your AR or the smaller parts of your 1911 or a similar handgun, you could find yourself needing an extra pair of hands to hold something in just the right way so you can hammer a pin. You don’t just want to clamp your barrel, slide, or whatever else into your vise like some neanderthal either, lest you damage it. That’s exactly why you need the Smart Bench Block by Real Avid.

The Smart Bench Block is made from engineering-grade resin, so it’s tough enough to hold up in the event you get your caveman on and accidentally bash it with your hammer. It’s got a non-slip layer on its outer ring, so it won’t slide around as you work. The best part about its design though is that it has a magnet embedded in it to catch and hold your pins as you hammer them out, so they don’t roll off your bench and get lost. And all these features are in addition to the central channel that holds your 1911 (or similar type) barrel and slide in place for extra stability as you work. And it’s universal by design, so you can work on AR rifles, pistols, and shotguns too.
