AR-15 TAKEDOWN PIN TOOL

AR-15 TAKEDOWN PIN TOOL Reviews & Ratings

Remove Those Finicky Pins Quickly Without Marring Your Gun's Finish

Every AR shooter should have this handy tool! The Brownells AR-15 / AR-308 Takedown Pin Removal Tool makes it easy to coax the takedown and pivot pins out of your rifle so you can separate the upper and lower receiver assemblies for cleaning or maintenance. Unlike a traditional steel pin punch, the polymer tip of this tool will not scratch or damage the ends of the pivot and takedown pins or the receiver itself, if you should slip. Yes, it does work on both pins - we called it the "Takedown Pin Removal Tool" to keep the name manageable!

This little tool is actually multiple tools in one. Remove the punch tip and flip it around, and you have a second tool for depressing the magazine release button to aid in magazine catch installation. Remove the tip completely to reveal a stainless steel pin punch for pushing out your AR's hammer and trigger pins or even for Glock® pistol disassembly.

Since the entire tool is about the size of a house key, we put a keyring loop on it, so you can put it on your key ring and always have it with you when you need it.

● Removes AR-15 pivot and takedown pins quickly & easily

● Includes tool for removing magazine release button

● Plus a stainless steel hammer & trigger pin punch

● Rugged, polymer construction won't mar gun or pin finishes

● Easily fits on a key ring, in your pocket, or in a range bag

To eliminate one of the problems with two-piece tools, the removable tip is held in place by a powerful magnet, so you won't reach for your AR-15 / AR-308 takedown pin removal tool and suddenly discover part of it is missing. The oversized contact surface on the ergonomically shaped handle gives you extra leverage for budging out a stubborn pivot or takedown pin.

Get one today, and never worry about having trouble disassembling your AR again!

AR-13 Takedown Pin Tool
This tool works well to push in the takedown pins of AR-15 or AR-10 style rifles. The lower section of the tool easily detaches to expose a metal pin which may be useful in the disassembly of other parts of an AR-15 or AR-10, but using it to move the takedown pins will probably scratch or damage the takedown pins. I suggest leaving the lower section of the tool attached to remove takedown pins. The lower section remains in place on the upper section of the tool by using a small magnet, but it is not exceptionally strong, which might cause the loss of the lower section in some cases. I rated the tool at four stars because of this.

Great size
Wish it had a plastic coated tip as it will scratch the pins

Good idea, executed poorly.
This tool works as intended BUT, its downfall is the very weak magnet holding the two halves together. Its so weak that the halves have accidentally seperated several times and lost the pin pusher end. This makes carrying it on a key ring useless. I now keep the whole thing in a small zip lock bag.

Poor implementation
Does the push pin work yes. But the magnet is so weak it separates to easily so can't keep together on a key chain. I lost the piece that slides on the pin and magnet fell off somewhere. The pin itself does work though.

Could be a lot better
This takedown tool is not a bad design, but the magnets designed to hold the two pieces together are so bad, they're a laughable joke.

weak magnet
Tool works as stated. I would like to see the thumb pad a bit larger and the magnet somewhat stronger as it is the key ring gets in the way when using it to push out pivot pins and the cover piece keeps falling off the smaller pin. Jim

Cool Idea
While a great product idea that you can keep with you all the time, the magnets that holds the cap on are SERIOUSLY under powered. There isn't a lot of room to put a larger magnet, but the design needs improved big time. Maybe try slightly larger magnets or add another set on the other side of the tool. Right now, you WILL loose the cap if you keep this any place other than the bench or in a tool bag.
