AR15 armorer's tool?

[Davy Crockett]

I'm looking for an AR15 armorer's wrench that's decent quality and available in Canada. The Magpul tools seem overpriced but I don't mind paying for quality if it's worth it, so feel free to convince me otherwise, the only other thing around seems to be the NCStar tool. Not so sure about NCStar, I've always associated them with airsoft quality.

Any recommendations?

I have the tapco one, built 3 ARs with it no issues.

I have an NcStar wrench..it has come in handy a few times, although I haven't used it for a complete build. I think it's cheap enough to be worth having.

Epps has the IMI tools in stock for a reasonable price and are of good quality. All IMI shooting products are good.

Anyone ever use the wheeler wrench with the screw driver bits?

DPMS ( only issue I ever had with it is when installing or removing barrels nuts almost like you needed a 3rd hand to Hold/support it )

I got the Gen 2 NcStar AR15 wrench and it didnt work on my M4 castle nut or a bunch others I had, The YHM barrel nut tab rounded off ( first time using it ) I tried it on 1 barrel nut and felt like soft metal. Oh and the 1911 bushing wrench part is hit or miss (PITA to get on ) I think only good thing its for is the bottle opener, installing A2 buffer tubes and the flathead screw driver.

I have the DPMS armorers wrench and so far after 3 years its been great. It's even powder coated!

If your looking for a good barrel wrench check out spikes tactical. The quality is second to none

I use the Wheeler one. Great wrench with lots of applications.

Having said that, I am no armourer. I ha e never removed a barrel or anything.

Al Flaherty's has a couple of them and Amazon.ca has more, in case you haven't found these.

Question is not where to buy, but which to buy. When a wrench wasn't good for a SR22 10/22 I wouldnt use it on my AR15.

I've got the Magpul wrench. The bottle opener more than makes up for the increased cost... I kid, but I built my AR (first so far) with it and the BEV block, worked very well.
