Performs as Designed
I have been using this wrench for just over a year. It has served me well during several AR-10 builds and numerous repairs and rebarreling projects. Unlike previous reviewers I have only found one rifle this wrench did not readily fit and that was an Stag Arms AR -10 and that was due to proprietary hole spacing on the barrel nut and with a slight modification of removing the middlle pin it worked fine. I also have the matching AR-15 wrench which works just as well. They are a heavy duty wrench that should last as long as there are guns to use them on.
Very Good Quality Wrench
I was a little skeptical, because it is a little expensive. But, this very heavy duty wrench made working on my AR very easy and was worth the price.
Heavy Duty, Quality Tool
This tool is very heavy duty, and fits the barrel nut tightly making even the toughest barrel nuts break loose without too much effort. No need for a breaker bar for leverage, although the 1/2" drive hole is there. Good to go right out of the box. A must-have for rebarreling on AR-10's.
Not for DPMS .308 free float tubes
Excellant wrench overall but will not fit DPMS free float tube.
Too thick
Very good quality but it is too thick to fit most muzzle devices using a crash washer. I had to grind mine down thinner to fit.
Does Not Fit for Intended Application
It is the wrong dimensions. The projected studs will not fit in the holes of the barrel nut for the intended application. The tool needs to be REDESIGNED to the correct dimensions.
Not for a DPMS LR-308
One peg for the barrel nut broke during shipping. It doesn't fit my DPMS LR-308 but it works on a AR-10 Barrel Nut.
NOT for DPMS/LR308 Rifles!
You'd think a ".308 Armor's Wrench" for "AR-Style 308 Style Rifles" would work for a DPMS Rifle with a Free float tube.... No Dice. The Peg spacing doesn't fit the DPMS barrel nut, and the muzzle device area is too wide to fit a 5/8x28 DPMS flash hider due to the crush washer. That makes this purchase a total waste of time and money for me, and you too if you have a DPMS pattern rifle.
