Agree or disagree? How much trouble would it be for manufacturers to put a little knurled band on end of each tube and do away with choke tube wrenches?
If you buy a used gun, or if I buy one anyway, it almost never includes the wrench. The seller can’t find it or whatever. I end up using a quarter on my 20-ga tubes. I mainly shoot 2 tubes, Turkey super full and improved cylinder. Fixing to sell my factory improved and find me a knurled one.

If it's a flush fit, I just use my thumb(the part with the finger print not the tip of the thumb) and screw it down. Obviously, this won't work if it's stuck.

i use wrenches only now. Had one or 2 that i tightened with finger and after shooting it some it comes loose. Its a weird feeling, the last time it vibrated pretty bad when i shot buckshot through it.

guys using your thumbs and fingers don't be like my neighbor, and forget to unload it. He shot half his hand off screwing in a chock with the gun loaded. Did he pull the trigger with his toe?

NOT SURE how it happened. he was shooting and the choke came lose so he reached up to tighten it and the gun went off got his thumb/pointer & middle finger. A wrench wouldn't have prevented that...Anytime I have to look at/work around the business end of a gun, I make DAMN sure it's unloaded.

It's more work, but it's worth it.

I was wondering the same thing. I'm actually hoping it is the same person. Surely there isn't TWO people that flipping stupid! Also, he admitted to loading a 3&1/2" shell in a Winchester 1300. So he is DOUBLE STUPID.
