BEST BARREL BOLT TOOL
No other DIY barrel bolt tool secures the upper receiver and the barrel simultaneously, so that the right amount of torque can be applied to the bolt & barrel threads without damaging or warping supporting parts.

Much needed tool
Was always worried about tightening barrel nuts with what I had to hold my receiver and saw this and knew it was worth the expense. Bought 2, 1 for 223 and 1 for 308.

Great tool.
Great tool for assembling .308 barrels to the upper. The sail portion is a feature that makes it safer for assembly by minimizing the risk of damage.

Worked perfectly
Worked exactly as intended. Complete beast of machining. The finish did start to come off rather quickly for the sticklers but really, who cares. If you ever run out of ammo, you can use this as a weapon.

Superior to Geissele
I have both the 5.56 and 7.62 versions of upper receiver rods. The "fin" on the top makes a huge difference. It evenly distributes force on the upper instead of the index pin. They're quality tools and they've served me very well.
