This is a neat little wrench!
I was looking for a wrench to 1. Fit an Aero Enhanced barrel nut, 2 fit over a McGowen modified HBAR barrel. I was using a 1/2" drive chain wrench with the nit wrapped in suede. That works but I was unsure of how accurate the torque is. Then I found this on Brownells website. At on $9.99 I figured, what the heck. I bought it and it fits and works very well. It also fits std. Ar15 barrel nuts.

Geissele quality
Simple, yet effective wrench. Works well for intended purpose.

Grabs perfectly but
It grabs barrel nut perfectly. But, due to the location of the half inch torque wrench connection being so close to the teeth of this tool, your torque wrench hits the barrel nut BEFORE the tool is seated all the way in position. You will have to use a small 1/2 extension to get around this. Beyond that, I love this tool, other pin style wrenches can slip off barrel nuts and round them off. This one won't. Get tool.

Geiselle Mk16 Rail Installation Tool
The product itself did a fine job. Just what you'd expect from a Geiselle product. My only complaint is Geiselle not including the install tool with Items the price of a Mk16 Railed Hand Guard to begin with. The competition certainly does.

Just buy one
YOU MUST BUY ONE OF THESE (and have a torque wrench) IF YOU WANT TO SET UP YOUR GEISSELE HANDGUARD CORRECTLY. Geissele USED TO include this wrench with their handguards and no longer does so. The Geissele handguard barrel nut is a smooth, slick-sided tube with a hole in the side for the wrench to lock into. There is no way to get the nut to the recommended 35-45ft/lbs of torque required without using the Giessele wrench. Hand-tight is not good enough and a rubber strap wrench can't grab enough to do the job, either. You can use an AR-15 armourer's tool with the single tooth castle nut wrench. ONCE. I say "once" because it will deform the nut. How do I know all these things? Because I thought I could do without and tried all the above. It costs $20 with shipping. JUST BUY ONE.

Not bad for the money
I bought this tool to remove the barrel on my Bushmaster.It was alittle hard to push in the delta ring to get the tool lined up with the barrel nut, but it did the job. With a little filing of the pin, I was able to remove the castle nut. For the money,its well worth it
