Frequently Asked Questions

Is the choke wrench suitable for a 20-gauge shotgun?

No. The manufacturer states this model is only suitable for 12 gauge. For other gauges, you must choose a choke wrench of the appropriate size.

How does the adjustable choke wrench work?

The rubber grip is placed around the outer surface of the choke and tightened with the thumb screw. The choke can then be turned in a controlled manner using the crank handle.

Can the wrench remove a choke that is rusted in place?

The wrench may help with chokes that are more firmly stuck than usual, but excessive force should not be applied. In case of corrosion or damage, consult a gunsmith.

Does the wrench fit every 12-gauge choke?

Not necessarily. The outer surface of the choke must be accessible to the grip and of a suitable diameter. A recessed or unusually designed choke may require a manufacturer-specific wrench.

When is the Allen Competitor 12 cal choke wrench the right choice?

This model is suitable when the 12-gauge shotgun choke has a sufficiently accessible outer surface for gripping and a comfortable crank handle is desired. The adjustable grip is practical for use with chokes of various external diameters.

For recessed chokes, other gauges, or systems requiring a specific slotted profile, use the wrench recommended by the firearm or choke manufacturer.

Recommendations

We recommend changing chokes only with an unloaded firearm. Check the chambers, point the barrel in a safe direction, and follow the firearm’s manual. Adjust the grip tightly around the choke, but do not crush thin-walled chokes or use an extension on the handle.

Clean the barrel and choke threads before reinstalling and apply a thin layer of suitable grease. The choke should be installed straight and tightened fully, but not over-tightened. Check the choke’s tightness regularly, especially during high-volume shooting sessions. If the choke does not move with moderate force, stop and have the firearm inspected by a gunsmith.
