Brownells AR-15/M16 Multitasker Tool:
Pocket-Packable Multi-Tool With Everything You Need For Field Repair & Adjustment Of Your AR-15
Rugged, compact, fold-open tool contains an amazing array of tools to service your AR-15 and many popular add-on accessories, all in a package that’s barely 4″ long when folded and fits in pocket, backpack, range bag, or the included nylon belt pouch. You get a castle nut wrench for collapsible carbine stocks, adjustment tool for four-prong A2-style front sights, 3/8″ box wrench for accessory mounts from LaRue Tactical and others, angled carbon scraper with radiused tip, file with chisel-tip carbon scraper, 440C stainless Tanto-style blade with liner lock safety, extended-length needle-nose pliers, wire cutter, and a bit driver with five, interchangeable double-ended bits. Comes with 2 slot-head, 1 Phillips, and 5 hex-head bit tips, plus T10 and T15 Torx® head bits. Bits have a ball-detent locking system to ensure they stay securely in the driver.
I can’t be certain, but it looks like the front sight tool is the bit driver without a bit installed. I’ll try to find out for sure. [UPDATE: Yes, Larry Weeks at Brownells confirmed that that's how the front sight tool works.]
Retails for $64.99. Check it out at Brownells.

So what is the notch in the middle of the castle nut wrench?

The notch has religious significance as it signifies the Hindu fertility symbol (OM) and represents the sacred cow’s hoof.
