Suggestions on an AR15 wrench?

[RobertMcC]

I'll just be changing out the hand guard on my recently acquired JR Carbine in .45 (don't own an AR) so I probably could have just borrowed an AR wrench. I agree that long term use warrants a quality tool.
The ad says "High Quality Aluminum" in the specs, but "Finish: Powder coated all steel construction" in the description. I guess it'll be a surprise! Good ol' aliexpress.

This breaks first time used..

Just don't cheap out and get Tapco or AIM... Had both, both broke...

Tapco has lifetime warranty, id contact them for replacement.

Unfortunately I got impatient and just used a strap wrench on my JR Carbine instead of waiting for this to arrive. I can't tell you how durable this wrench is, but its pretty heavy so I'm guessing its steel. I'll weigh it when I get a chance...

I have had a few of the cheaper AR wrenches on the market. All were crap and are now broken in the trash bin. Bought a Magpul, extremely impressed with it. Well worth the extra cost to me!
