Need a new armorers tool. Which one should I go with? Here are the two I was looking at. What do you think?
1. Gem State Armory
2. DPMS

I'd go with #1, looks much nicer and higher quality than the DPMS wrench.Oppressors can tyrannize only when they achieve a standing army, an enslaved press, and a disarmed populace. -- James Madison

I have the dpms. It's actually pretty well made. I picked it up on midwayusa for 20 or 30 bucks. I think it now goes for like 33 bucks. You can spend a few bucks more and try out the GSA one. It looks like quality built from the pics"Screw U guys, I'm going home"...:the great Eric Cartman

So expensive, i just picked up a cheap 15 dollar tool that looks like number 1, so far built over 15ar's with them, no problems. plus the cheap one i got has a square in the middle to connect a torque wrench.sigpic

either one or even just a barrel wrench and stock wrench is all you need.
my stock wrench cost $3.99 at a gun show, has worked for me for over 12 years.
my bushmaster barrel wrench has been used over100 times and does the job fine...http://www.bushmaster.com/products.asp?cat=15 cost 13.00. you need a 1/2 drive torque wrench to use it.
I'd get a clamshell receiver block and a lower block as well as wrenches.
EDIT-- OMG... just looked at that bushmaster page I linked...they are now charging a whole $7.00 for the stock wrench... price gougers!! LOL thats a joke people.Last edited by dieselpower; 02-19-2013, 6:29 AM.Comment

These are my go-to's.Comment

The Gem state one has the barrel nut and the 3 prong stock nut wrench and looks good.
I use the dpms barrel nut wrench and a separate 3 prong stock nut wrench."Bruen, the Bruen opinion, I believe, discarded the intermediate scrutiny test that I also thought was not very useful; and has, instead, replaced it with a text history and tradition test." Judge Benitez 12-12-2022

I broke a DPMS wrench in half trying to remove a non-staked, non-loctited castle nut. Never buying their cheap pot steel "armorer's tool" ever again.Originally posted by JeremySComment
