tools needed to assemble a kit?
punches (make sure the sears kit you are getting has the smaller punches) stock wrench screwdriver hammer tools to make the job easier. front sight tool pivot pin tool mag block bolt catch punch handguard too (but the upper should have handguards already installed) drill bits ( to clean out burs) vise upper block multi tool/barrel wrench |

Lets see, a DPMS multi tool, is all you need. as for the hand guards i pull down on the delta ring while my wife puts on the hand gards. Front sight, a sharp pointed bullet, also a bullet works good to remove pins, all the pins. if your insalling a barrel then an action block, or barrel grips are a must. Some stocks come with there own wrench too. good luck on your build, i'm about to start a 0% lower myself. infact i just got my nice looking forged paperweight in the mail the other day.

Yeah, one of my buddies was using a bullet to push out some pins in his AR, smacking the end of the shell with a hammer. I took about 5 big steps back too. |

Go to Brownells and get the roll pin starter punches. Plus find a DPMS Armourer's wrench.

Yes, cancel that stock wrench if you can. The DPMS multitool has one built-in. Also, it doesn't hurt to have the handguard removal tool, even though the poster above has found a good, less expensive way to put on the handguards. With the tool you can very easily install & remove the handguards all by yourself.

Well, I already got those tools in, but I do have plans to order one of the multitools and a handguard removal tool down the road. After I get this build done, I'm gonna try to get all the tools I need so I can put my own uppers together also.
