Excellent Tool!
I received this tool a week ago and what a difference it makes removing a handguard on an AR15! I let my grandson try it and he was amazed at the ease he could depress the delta ring and hold it there while removing a handguard. Thanks, Brownells, my struggles with stiff delta ring springs are over! A quality tool at an excellent price!
