I have this one
 the photo is from Bushmaster but I got mine from fulton armory on sale for around $23. I really like it so far except for the fact the buttplade screwdriver blade doesnt fit my buttplate screws.  does anyone know who makes this wrench BTW? |

I really like my DPMS wrench.
I am not too keen on the hook on the end of the wrench in the photo above |

I ordered a DPMS wrench from Eagle Firearms last week. Should probably be here on Monday. I'll let you know how I like it but from looking around, DPMS seemed like a good choice. It was about $30. GS

The reason I was asking because I have seen some where in the past that DMPS Wrench was not up to Specs. That some one had a problem with one.

After snapping a pin off my DPMS wrench I got one from Smith Enterprises. It has 3 pins for the barel nut for a float tube and is very well built.

I own the DPMS, and it has worked fine so far. Can't comment on the Smith Enterprise model, but they have an excellent reputation for making high quality products, as well as a polished reputation for their gunsmithing and gun building.

What I meant to say that I heard that the DPMS is Out of SPEC.

I'm not sure what you mean by out of spec. Mine fit tight on the barrel nut and worked like it was supposed to.

That is what I have read in the past on AR15.COM some where.

And the S.E. has USMC on it; woo hoo! Did multiple internet searches for the S.E. wrench with limited results(Google, Dogpile, Yahoo); my web-fu is not very strong. Originally tried to place an order and buy mine from Broderman Sports, for several weeks, but they don't answer the phone, emails, or return your call. Wish I had a Brownell's catalog at the time and saved a little money by going with them. Instead ordered from S.E., paid premium price and $10 s&h
   . But it works very well . Bushy charges $10 s&h for their orders also.

My DMPS has worked fine, although I prefer the Yankee Hill one...that's the one I use the most, since all but 2 of my ARs have float tubes.
But, I had to use the DPMS one on my DPMS .308 barrel nut this weekend...go figure hehe. |

I think I should of just got a GI barrel wrench because I prefer to use the 3 prongs for the barrel nut. The only thing that the wrench offers to me is a butstock driver that doesnt fit
 The prongs with a torque wrench make the job a piece of cake (yes, I know the torque wrench isnt necessary, but I feel more comfortable using it.

You are partially correct. DPMS did have a run of multi wrenches that were out of spec in the spacing dimension of the pins. I know because I got one of them. I called DPMS about it and talked with an engineer about it. I just removed some material from the outsides of the pins to make it fit the FF nut. Works fine for assembly but haven't tried it for disassembly yet. I got it last year in Aug. I believe so the bad ones are probably mostly out of the mainstream by now. |
