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.

Looks fine
I use to have one like it for brake lines and it had machined area for lines so yes it was better but this one will work just fine and I will close it, drill it through to give better grab on press.
