AR-15 ARMORER'S WRENCH Reviews & Ratings

Multiple Tools In One - You'll Always Want It Close By!

You'll find yourself reaching for the Brownells Armorer's Wrench a lot when you're working on AR-15s. The standard 6-pin barrel nut wrench works on both peg-style and encapsulated barrel nuts. The "can’t slip" 4-pin castle nut wrench enables secure installation and removal of M4-carbine type receiver extensions. (NOTE: the stock must be removed so the castle nut wrench can be slid over the buffer tube to access the nut.)

There's a cutout for an A2 receiver extension nut, another cutout for a 1/2" torque drive, and slots for 5/8" and 3/4" wrench flats on flash hiders and muzzle brakes. Of course, our armorer's wrench has the last-a-lifetime quality you expect from Brownells tools: heavy-duty steel construction, precise dimensions, and a comfortable anti-slip matte finish.

Ar15 armorer's wrench

Product was stated to fit AR15 Castle nut, but doesn't work on my PSA castle nut. It will not fit around. Need to return the wrench.

Wrong Wrench?

Bought this for my AR15 build. the castel nut wrench wont fit over my Wilson Combat buffer tube. So I paid 60 bucks and all it can do is remove my muzzle break. Maybe I bought the wrong multi tool?

Not a quality tool

It is not a tool made to exacting specifications. It does not fit the rifle that it was advertised to fit.

Rusty

This wrench came to me in the mail with major rust and dirt on it. Customer service was quick to help and sent me a replacement. For a brand new product though, this is unacceptable.

Too sloppy to cost this much

The wrench is very heavy, so my initial reaction was that it would be "heavy duty" as well and well made. I have only built 1 AR with it so far, but the wrench slots are way too loose and sloppy. It might meet military specs, but as sloppy and loose as it was, I ended up using individual wrenches for most everything so not to mar or round off the nuts. I think I tossed the packaging, otherwise I would just return it...

Disappointed

Wrench metal is too wide to remove AR15 flash hider. Does not grab the flats due to the rounded parts of the flash hider hanging up on the wrench.

Quality is lacking

In its first use,while using in addition to a torque wrench installing a barrel the prongs broke off around 20 ft/pounds of force. Slightly warped so tightening the castle nut was difficult with only two prongs.
