Love this little thing…

I chuckle each time I use it thinking of how I used to carry out this task. Makes it a breeze. Two thumbs up from me and I recommend it. Super simple and super quick. Came in the large armorers kit and probably my favorite piece that was included.

If you build ARs this is a must have piece of kit

This is a must have piece of kit if you build AR lowers. It makes an extremely difficult job possible. It still takes a little effort, but it will eliminate flying springs.

This would have saved me $30 in spare springs and pins

The takedown spring and pin on my latest build seemed like it would be simple, easy to do with a blade to hold them in position while pushing in the pivot pin. I did something like it, fifteen years ago. This time...no. I went through two springs and pins, ordered another set, and went through two more before I ordered this little tool. It's pretty simple...it will only fit one way, really. It took two attempts, because I lifted the "wing" too soon, but I didn't lose pins or springs, and it hit solidly just as I needed. Highly recommended.

Great tool for a great price

It always takes me a minute or two to remember how to use it. But once I have dusted off the comb webs, it does a great job in under 1 minute. No more launched springs. If you are building AR lowers is is a must have tool.

Best tool ever made

Does exactly what it says no more launching Springs or detent across the room..!! Lol
