Was wondering what everyone's idea is of the best barrel brench for AR15/M16?

Have used the flat steel and the cast green wrinkle finished ones (really should have the markings

Brownell's has a stainless one (now why my barrel wrench needs to be stainless I do not know ... ) by Smith Enterprise that looks the same as the "green" one ...

Thanks
John

I am no expert.  My first, and only wrench that I bought was the Smith Enterprise wrench.  I have used it about six times.  I like it a lot. I would recommend it.  From looking at Bushmaster's picture of the one Bushmaster sells, it look like Bushmaster's wrench is the same as the Smith Enterprise wrench.

BTW, I purchased mine directly from Smith Enterprise.  They were nice to deal with, and had prompt delivery.

PS - one advantage of the stainless steel is that it will not rust.  Although I think that is a non-issue because the wrench's coating is so thick and hard, I don't think any bare metal would be exposed for a long time.

I have had a problem with the DPMS Combo wrench, i messed up a buffer ext tube cause the wrench is too loose.  I still use it but also have a GI wrench.

At least the Chicom wenches are better than the electronics (but that is not saying much).

Was wondering on why the Smith was stainless, as I had grown up in the days of tool steel and you just kept the tools dry / waxed / oiled.
