Be curious to see if other tools develop from this line.

It’s actually a perfect fit.Īll in all Im quite pleased with the GERBER SHORT STACK AR15 MULTI-TOOL. I was concerned the tool would rattle as that would be annoying to put it mildly. The GERBER SHORT STACK AR15 MULTI-TOOL sits about flush with the end of the MAGPUL MOE PISTOL GRIP. Once the end cap was removed the Magpul supplied rubber tool holder needs to be removed to allow the GERBER SHORT STACK AR15 TOOL to fit properly. Always a challenge for a guy with some physical challenges. Installation – First thing I needed to do was remove the bottom cap of the MAGPUL MOE PISTOL GRIP. The GERBER SHORT STACK AR15 MULTI-TOOL is strong, hard and seems to be made with precision. The second thing is the tool is first rate quality in fit and finish. Feels exactly like a phosphate coated bolt carrier. You can see a list of features on the previous post linked above. The GERBER SHORT STACK AR15 MULTI-TOOL is everything I expected and more. My GERBER SHORT STACK AR15 MULTI-TOOL arrived from Midways Amazon Store in 3 days. While these do skimp on features, a simple wrench can be a lifesaver if, for example, your castle nut starts walking out in the middle of a course.GERBER SHORT STACK AR15 GRIP TOOL MAGPUL MOE PISTOL GRIP These are both good beginner options for people on a budget, as well as folks who might be taking or teaching classes at ranges and thus would need to work on an AR in the field without returning home or to a shop. Finally, some tools are meant to be as simple as possible, with as few features as you might need to get the buffer tube and barrel off of an AR. They’d also be ideal for people like us, who are nearly as into collecting tools as I am into collecting firearms and shooting them. Such a kit would be perfect for someone getting started AR building who wants to be absolutely sure that they’ll have what they need before they start. These kits can get pretty pricey, but I think that they have their place.

Other wrenches that come as part of a larger gunsmithing tool kit might come with additional AR tuning tools, including a set of screwdriver bits and a trigger pull gauge.

With a premium in price does sometimes come a premium in features, and some of the more expensive options are more than worth your consideration. These tend to be a bit more expensive, but you get more of an “all in one wrench” with more features and high-quality materials - and the more you have on a wrench, the less likely you are to need to seek out other tools to accomplish any particular project. Some wrenches come with more features right on the wrench, such as an end shaped like a rubber mallet in case you need to pound on something for some reason, or contoured edges to keep your subtle hands, well, subtle. This is often the case even when they have some of the other tools they might need on hand in a shop. These are often offered at a reasonable price point, which is why so many people who do a lot of work on guns will go with a little simpler style of AR-15 armorer’s wrench rather than some of the more fully-featured, and expensive options. On the most basic end, you’ll have an AR-15 armorer’s wrench that is designed to be simple and has what you need to torque down the barrel, castle nut, flash hider, and not a ton else.
