Gas Tube Wrench
Well worth the money. Have used twice already to remove carbon stuck gas tube without damage to tube. Grips well and makes breaking loose from carbon a breeze.

Did the job
I had a gas tube that was extremely difficult but this tool helped me get it. I had to use an upper receiver clamp in the vice and hammer on the stem of the tool near the clamping end, but it came off. I dont think I could have got the tube out without this tool. Plus I have the proper tool for the job now.

Great tool!
I got tired of tearing up gas tubes and gave this tool a try. It grabs tight while not harming the tube. Makes removal and assembly very easy. Worth then investment as far as I'm concerned.

Yes, you do need it.
This is one of those tools we have all looked at and said "Looks useful, but I'll just keep using my old pliers". I did for a couple of years and got tired of chewing up gas tubes. This wrench is the best for removing even the most stubborn carbon caked tubes. Super easy to use. Glad I took the plunge and got the right tool.

Definately worth the money
This tool is extremely useful for removing gas tubes that have been carboned up and stuck fast in the gas block. If you do any barrel work on M16/AR15 rifles, you need this tool.

A must-have for AR15 Armorers
Very useful, especially for those of us who have large fingers & hands, and have trouble removing gas tubes. This tool makes removing gas tubes a breeze, even those that have been well-used and are difficult to remove otherwise. I've removed dozens of gas tubes with this wrench, all with no fuss nor any damage to the gas tube...some were very difficult, and couldn't be done without this wrench unless the gas tube was destroyed in the process. I've even used it to install several gas tubes. All in all, a very versatile and useful wrench, making it a MUST-HAVE for any AR15/M16/AR10 Armorer or builder.

Nice To Have
I've wanted one of these for a while and when they came back into stock I decided to grab one. Is this something you'll need for every build, absolutely not. Is it nice to have when trying to replace a gas system that is carbon glued together, yes it is. It's well made and the one I received clamps down on my gas tubes pretty tight. I have M-Guns gas tube bending tool and when used with this wrench it makes adjusting the gas tube alot easier and more precise when bending. Reason I gave it 4 stars is because of the price $40 all together and that's a little steep for a tool that will only get used every couple years.
