AR Armorer's wrench

[Ponder_MD]

For the AR15, there are many armorer's wrenches on the market. I'm sure that some are more ergonomic and some that grip the various parts of the rifle better than others when loosening/tightening, etc.

Recommendations?

I was using the Wheeler wrench but has a lot of jagged edges. I recently bought the Real Avid wrench and really like it.

Real Avid AR-15 Armorer's Master Wrench

Real Avid has a deep understanding of what it takes to build or trick-out a quality AR-15. That's why they weren't satisfied with the cheap, poorly...

I like that Avid but I'll issue a cautionary tale: I assembled a rifle with A2 front sight and fixed gas block. The "closed" castle/barrel nut wrench necessitated removal of the sight in order to slip the wrench over the barrel to tighten the nut.

Just something to consider if you're an iron sights kind of guy.

The old Tapco wrench got good reviews but is no longer available. I like the Magpul wrench, and the Hammerhead as well.

I also like the PRI barrel nut wrench for GI barrel nuts.
