There's only two roll pins you need anything for, that's the trigger guard and the bolt release. I used tape covered vise grips ans some tape on the receiver for added insurance and I think it's much easier than a punch with less chance of slipping and scratching your lower. I didn't scratch mine at all.
Actually, the upper may require more tools, I was just thinking of the lower. |

Brass punches are nice to have, they aren't suitable to build an AR with, they are too soft for roll pins. For roll pins you need steel roll pin punches, see below.
To assemble the lower kit the only tools you need are the roll pin punches from Brownell's. www.brownells.com/aspx/NS/store/ProductDetail.aspx?p=5551&title=ROLL+PIN+PUNCHES 3/32 is #3 Roll pin punch item #230-100-003 #3 Roll Pin Punch $3.75 1/8 is #4 Roll pin punch item #230-100-004 #4 Roll Pin Punch $3.83 |

I got the one from cheaper than dirt. $20. Works great. Get a cheap set... they wear out.

I got a set of brass punches from Harbor Freight, don't remember how much I paid for them...but it wasn't much, most of the places I have seen them are more expensive.
