Good Savage Tools
So, I have a Savage 12, but I think this applies to all Savage 110 series rifles. The nut wrench has rounded and square shapes to fit both nut types. The close square hole was too close to the barrel to attach my torque wrench. Using the far square was fine. Make sure you calculate the torque change. At this far hole, actual torque will be much higher. This wrench is a bit narrow. It should be wider to handle higher torque without nut damage. The square hole should be farther away from the centerline to improve access. The other tool fit my action. The clamp seems a bit cheesy, but worked fine as an action wrench. The directions indicate it is a smooth nut wrench. The smooth nut is full action diameter, so it should work as advertised. Although Im not sure what you will hold the action with when tightening.
Does the job
It did exactly what it was designed to do, without fuss.
Not Junk
Previous reviewer was mistaken in proper use of wrench. The one with the bolt to tighten is intended to hold the receiver when you tighten on a new barrel. You clamp barrel in vise, set your headspace and hold the receiver still as you torque down the barrel nut and recheck headspace. You are not going to need to put a huge amount of torque to tighten securely. The wrench with the bronze strip in place to prevent marring will hold just fine. To remove the smooth nut, use a pipe wrench and buy a new slotted nut to replace smooth one.
The nut wrench is too thin.
Removed the barrel nut on my 112, using great care, not to mar the nut. The wrench provided is quite thin, and I was expecting it to leave tool marks. It didn't, and I was surprised. The tool does work, but I'd much prefer something with twice the contact surface. I soaked the barrel for two days with Kroil, and Hoppes #9, at the barrel/nut juncture, and it came loose with minor wrestling. This was the factory original, and it had been torqued to over 60 lbs when installed. The Wheeler Nut Wrench would be adequate, if I buy another, and braise the two together. The contact area would be perfect at that thickness. In all fairness, the wrench did work, but I'll be looking for something more substantial.
