Anyone used one, how different are they than a regular barrel wrench?

Need to spin one on, hate to buy a $120 dollar tool to use one single time.

If you want to remove or install a URX barrel nut you need to buy the wrench or send it for someone to install.




I suggest buying one from the EE or getting aftermarket from one of our very own forum members. http://www.dwilsonmfg.com/store/p5/URX_Wrench.html




I used this wrench to remove one barrel nut and have another upper I will be using it on soon.

You'll definitely need one. The teeth are different than a regular barrel nut and armorer's wrench. And the newer barrel nut is aluminum, so I wouldn't try making one unless you can do it really precisely with a CNC machine or the like. Being off just a little will destroy it.
Maybe a generous soul on this site will let you borrow one?
