Quality tool
Solid construction and good tolerances. If you're upper is Cerakoted, the fit will be very snug. Will never use another tool to torque on a barrel. Overall good addition to your work bench.

This Midwest Industries AR-15 Upper Reciever Rod
This Midwest Industries AR-15 Upper Reciever Rod is an excellent product. I highly recommend it. It is heavy because it is made of steel and is for personal gunsmithing by this USCG veteran. Proudly Made in the U.S.A. Nothing less will do.

Excellent tool
I was using different tools but this one in particular makes it so the upper doesn’t move at all and doesn’t flex or create any strain. Worth the money and glad I purchased it.
