Nice tool overall
The tool is overall robust, but the pins supplied with it does not work well with SR-15 dimpled cattle nuts. The pin shared with a little effort. Luckily there was a nub left and was actually able to finish the job. If your going to use this toll on a dimpled SR-15 castle nut be sure to adjust the pin just enough to fit in the dimple so that if it breaks you might have enough material of the pin to complete the job…..or look for a new piece of steel to use which should be relatively easy to find
