Castle nut wrench may not fit all castle nuts
Good robust quality piece but male engagement cogs on castle wrench slightly oversized for female castle nut on Daniel Defense pdw This caused some minor stripping in the female engagements when removing the nut
Works ok
So far this wrench is just ok, I had a spare barrel nut that looks like a standard part to me, this wrench won't fit all the pegs in the holes to tighten it down correctly. I am waiting for a new hand guard with a standard barrel nut and if the wrench works as it should on that one, I'll update my rating. I will still give 3 stars because the wrench as is, is usable, but pretty janky to tighten the nut down with only 1 peg engaged.
Not for AR Pistol Buffer Tubes
Copied this from another review, but I ran into the exact same problem (my fault for not researching better before I bought it). Unfortunately, I don't have the tools to modify the wrench. It is also a bit tight on standard rifle buffer tubes. "Well built wrench but.....You can not remove castle nuts from factory AR pistols(Radical firearms for example) with this tool because of the "fourth notch" making it impossible to slide the wrench over AR factory buffer tubes."
Needs to be re-designed
Well built wrench but.....You can not remove castle nuts from factory AR pistols(Radical firearms for example) with this tool because of the "fourth notch" making it impossible to slide the wrench over AR factory buffer tubes, which are a larger diameter.(law requires them to be a few millimeters larger diameter so regular Mil-spec or commercial butt stocks can not be slid over them...only arm braces) I had to cut off the "fourth" notch at the bottom(all the way to the handle) to make the wrench more universal. Three points of contact of the wrench to the castle nut is acceptable. Another problem with this wrench is the coating on the wrench is way to thick. I bead blasted it off and spray painted it with enamel paint. Works great now.
Ar15 armorer's wrench
Product was stated to fit AR15 Castle nut, but doesn't work on my PSA castle nut. It will not fit around. Need to return the wrench.
Perfect for Multi Days, Day Trips
First AR/15 Multiple Day Trips that last 3+ Weeks. Been There / Done That, Probably more than I care to Admit
Wrong Wrench?
Bought this for my AR15 build. the castel nut wrench wont fit over my Wilson Combat buffer tube. So I paid 60 bucks and all it can do is remove my muzzle break. Maybe I bought the wrong multi tool?
Not a quality tool
It is not a tool made to exacting specifications. It does not fit the rifle that it was advertised to fit.
Rusty
This wrench came to me in the mail with major rust and dirt on it. Customer service was quick to help and sent me a replacement. For a brand new product though, this is unacceptable.
Too sloppy to cost this much
The wrench is very heavy, so my initial reaction was that it would be "heavy duty" as well and well made. I have only built 1 AR with it so far, but the wrench slots are way too loose and sloppy. It might meet military specs, but as sloppy and loose as it was, I ended up using individual wrenches for most everything so not to mar or round off the nuts. I think I tossed the packaging, otherwise I would just return it...
