Anyone know of a really good AR barrel wrench? I'm tired of making due with cheap stuff.

I've tried a few different ones, but the Brownells wrench in the link below seems to be the best I've used (insert an extra w to make the link work).

Depends what you trying to do with it. I don't use do all armourers wrench anymore since most of the builds I do are with FF handguards
The best wrench for these ( will also work with standard barrel nut ) is the PRI
It will turn the barrel nut on Larue, YHM , PRI , KAC FF etc . Using the 2 or 3 pins on the standard barrel armourer wrenches don't work nearly as well on the FF nuts. The PRI goes far deeper and has zero chance of slipping off. Much easier using torque wrench
The FF it will not work with is DD Light , DD M4 , URX , Colt 6940
Now that I have a dedicated CAR stock wrench I never touch my armourers wrench ( Smith Enterprises....IMO one of the better ones )

All good info. I've ordered a SEI wrench. We'll see when it gets here how much better it is. Thanks guys.
Best AR barrel wrench
Like other members doing their own AR 15 installations I too have gone through several makes of wrenches before I bought the PRI barrel wrench from Brownell's. This is now my mainline wrench for screwing on barrels and is rock solid,torques better as there are more contact points. Recommended to those who want the right wrench the first time!!
