Great gear!

I’m always happy with my purchases from Brownells! The pin punch is great, looks identical to the Brownells one. I really love the trigger pin tool, and of course the pivot pin tool is a really cool redesign over the old L shaped ones.

Small problem

Received the tools and the detent pivot pin tool had no through hole which made the tool worthless for which it was intended . Called customer service and they sent a replacement without any hesitation. Kudos to a great customer service dept. The tools are of very good quality and are perfect for what they are intended to do.. thanks to customer service and the quality of the tools I give you the 5 stars.

Drivers

Tools work as expected.

Very handy

Very useful for lower assembly and disassembly

Great tools

Definitely make AR assembly much easier and less cussing!

For AR lowers

Must have! The flat punch is ideal! And the alignment tool is a sanity saver!

Hobby use only

Worked fine for 3 builds. Will be useful if lower needs disassembly but definitely not professional grade tools.

Pin removal/ installation

Makes installing that pesky AR15 hammer pin a cinch.

weak bolt catch punch

on attempting to tap 3rd buildup, the roll pin punch bent and soon broke at its base. very weak alloy or faulty heat treatment. there are better roll pin punches out there. the others pieces work fine.
