This is the stronger one.
There are some thinner steel versions of this available but this is the stronger option. You can always replace the rubber fuel lines down the road if they get worn or old.

OUTSTANDING! The best available!
These days things rarely exceed or even meet expectations. Not this tool. It is an OUTSTANDING handguard removal tool. I’m getting older and arthritis makes it a little tougher to do some things. This tool is well made and grips the slip ring/delta ring on any AR perfectly. Works on A1 or A2 style rings with little effort. I’m very pleased with it and can recommend it to anyone. All the contact points are coated and the gripping section is covered with heater hose that won’t Mar your finish or peel away after one use. It’s TOUGH. A simple design that just WORKS. Get one. It will make life easier. A five star product.
