TAKE IT OFF !!!
It's built for bear, but a little awkward to use, as the Colt AR15 A4 spring loaded retainer has a significant taper: rifle butt down on non skid surface, left hand pushing tool into mag well, right hand squeezing and depressing handles; second person removes/installs handguards; release tool, confirm retainer is locked and evenly positioned; go have a beer...

Surprised by how well made it is
My first time using a tool like this ever on an AR platform. Had to have it to move the Delta ring on my 20+ yro. Bushmaster. I don't ever recall needing one when taking the handguards off any of my M16's in the Army. Surprised at how simple it is to use , but, for some reason, it kept slipping off the ring. Or, over the ring to be more accurate. Slipped like 8 times. Is that normal? With caveat, yeah, I'd recommend this to a friend. If they're a casual shooter like me, its an inexpensive addition to your tool box. If you're more of a frequent or professional shooter, maybe a different tool would work better for you.
