| Can anyone suggest a good multi-tool that won't slip while using a torque wrench on the barrel nut or buffer tube nut? |

The PRI barrel nut wrench won't slip off .... I switched to this one after eating up a "multi tool" on a really stubborn barrel nut but the PRI does require that there is no GB installed so it can slip over the barrel.

All barrel nut tools will have the propensity to move and slip regardless of which one you use and regardless of installing a standard barrel nut or a free float barrel nut.
Honestly the best method I have found is to always use a thick glove (like a leather or cloth garden glove available at any hardware store) and push the wrench into the barrel nut while torquing. I use my left gloved hand to push the wrench into the barrel nut and my right hand to do the torquing. The wrench has never slipped on me while doing it that way. |
