Not the right wrench
This wrench does not fit the Barrel I bought off you (078000443) but the wrench does seem to be real durable and heavy.

Pins bent at 30 ft-lbs of torque
Set torque wrench to 30 ft-lbs. Hand tightened barrel nut first. After getting to 30 ft-lbs I noticed two of the pins bent from the torque. With bent pins, the wrench is no longer usable. So now waiting on the DPMS wrench to get the barrel nut lined up for the gas tube.
