MY ORIGINAL ONE, FROM BROWNELL'S, HAD THE 1/2" DRIVE SOCKET HOLE. BUT ONE OF THE PINS BROKE OFF.
SO I JUST ORDERED TWO MORE. THE NEW ONES HAVE NO 1/2" DRIVE SOCKET HOLE. SO, I ORDERED A COMBINATION TOOL OUT OF THE BROWNELL'S CATALOG MADE BY SMITH'S ENTERPRISES, WITH THE REQUISITE 1/2" DRIVE ORIFICE. EDITED TO ADD: DPMS HAS BEEN CONTACTED REGARDING THIS SHORTCOMING. WILL LET YOU KNOW THEIR RESPONSE. WES GRANT [URL]MSTN.BIZ[/URL] |

I just shlepped mine back to Cheaper Than Dirt for a refund. Perhaps I should have asked them to look through what they had in stock for one with the hole so I could exchange the one I had but I doubt their others would have been any different. They should ship them all back to DPMS with a message, "Put some holes in these stupid things, gawdammit! They're nothing but big funny-looking screwdrivers otherwise!"

I just got one too, and yes, DPMS got rid of the hole for the torque wrench. Seems to me you really don't need it though.

NO, YOU DON'T NEED IT, UNTIL YOU WANT TO USE A TORQUE WRENCH.

HERE IS THE EMAIL REPLY I JUST RECEIVED FROM DPMS:
Hello, Thank you for contacting us. The new Multi-Tool was designed without the torque mounts to beef up the remainder tool and make a much more solid and dependable package. The tool you are looking for is the Combination Wrench that is designed with a torque wrench bar in mind. It removes and replaces the barrel nut, extension tube and flash suppressor on the AR15. Feel free to give me a call if you have any other questions (800) 578-3767. Good Shooting Paul DPMS Panther Arms I CALLED AND SPOKE WITH "DAVE". THE DPMS MULTI-TOOL HAS NOT BEEN MADE WITH THE 1/2" DRIVE FITTING FOR OVER A YEAR, HE REPORTS. THEY DO MAKE A SEPARATE TOOL, APPARENTLY LIKE THE MILITARY VERSION, THAT DOES ACCEPT A 1/2" DRIVE. HE REFUSED DO MAKE ANY EXCHANGE FOR THE MULT-TOOLS I BOUGHT FROM HIS DISTRIBUTOR, STATING THAT I WOULD HAVE TO RETURN THEM DIRECTLY TO THE DISTRIBUTOR. I HAVE GOTTEN WHERE I CAN THROW MY ORIGINAL BROKEN ONE AND MAKE IT STICK PRETTY WELL. HEY, ANOTHER FUNCTION FOR THE MULTI-TOOL... YOU JUST CAN'T TORQUE WITH IT. GET A SMITH ENTERPRISES ARMORER'S WRENCH. MY NEW SMITH'S SHOWED UP FROM BROWNELL'S YESTERDAY. BACK IN BUSINESS! WES |

Sounds like they've made it twice as strong and half as useful. Yes, I'll just have to save up a little more and get the Smith Ent. or something like it. Too bad; I did rather like the idea of having the buttstock screwdriver as part of the package, as well as it costing $10 or so less.
