These tools any good? way cheaper than whats offered on Brownells.
AR15 / M16 Aluminum Upper and Lower Receiver Vise Block Combo set [need this type of upper vise in particular because I have a VLTOR MUR, which doesnt fit in a "clamshell" upper vise block] Aim Sports Ar15 Stock Combo New Style Wrench Tool $50 bucks for an armorer wrench and vise block set. Reviews are good too... |

The reviews seem pretty legit but then you see the customer supplied photo:
http://i.imgur.com/JUfNLQv.jpg wtf happened there? Might just be a freak occurrence, and it looks like the wrench has enough teeth on the nut to put the proper torque in (if you're carful) but that's just sloppy enough that I looked elsewhere. |

I wouldn't. And I didn't. I bought my tools from ADCO, Rainier Arms, Bravo Co., and Brownells. Did I pay more? Sure thing, but don't have to worry about substandard tools either. Agreed. I bought once and learned my lesson. Paying more is worth it for tools. |

+1 on this. I have used my Gem State Armory wrench on multiple builds and it makes it easy. |

I bought the AIM gen 2 from amazon for 18 bucks. I may build two or three ar's so I could not justify spending a mint on a wrench.
first build went spending to plan. I knew worst case the castle nut was a little sloppy but I took my time and it went together. just my $02 cents |
