I have this. Buy it. It’s awesome. Everything in a case. Are you kidding. Over the years I’ve purchased so many tools I started making a pile to sell them. Have multiples of many. Pivot pin tool is the best.
Per your question at 8:14, those pins come out of that red block, and they go on either side of the flat part of the upper vise block. They would sit above the top edge of your vise, and stop the block from slipping and pointing toward the floor if you are putting downward force on it. Say, something out near the muzzle device.
Looks like a pretty well-built kit. They never had those things around when I was building a ours back in 1984 and 5. I've got an entire Shop full of tools for working primarily on AR-15s, M16, and AR-10, lr-308 platform rifles. It looks like you're only missing a couple of things basically for custom stuff. The only thing I will say is when you combine multiple tools on to one item, sometimes none of them work as well as if you have them in single units. Case in point that hammer that does Castle nuts and Barrel nuts mil-spec of course, it would extend the length of the torque wrench to add more length to it which will cause a higher then normal torque setting. Like if you set the torque wrench for 35 foot pounds of torque and you put that hammer on the end of it and it extends it three to four in your going to be pushing close to 50 foot pounds of torque just because of the added length. You might be able to turn it on a 90 degree and get it too displace the exact number of torque pounds stated on the wrench, but with all that stuff on there it may be difficult. Now don't get me wrong I'm not dragging on the ton of research and development they went through to design this kit. Would be an excellent kit for somebody just getting into AR-15s, and M16s for their first time. Can't wait to see some more reviews on how the tools hold up. Cupola cool little gadgets I saw on there that I like. Great review keep up the good work.
Those other 2 pins in your lug lock are to be installed in the flat part (on opposing sides) to set the angle of your lug support in your vise. You can set your barrel to multiple custom angles. Keeps the shaft from dropping or lifting in the jaws.
Looks like a well thought out kit. I have a few things, including the smart vise block, scraper tool, and bore guide, from Real Avid and have been very impressed with quality fit and finish. Thx for your vid showing this kit off.
I bought this for my first build. Cons: The worst thing about this kit is the case. The latches on mine look extremely cheap and the case doesn't really close well (uneven, gaps, etc). The other thing this is lacking is a barrel nut wrench. My cheap Ceratac kit didn't come with a barrel nut tool, but I was able to use the castle nut as a makeshift barrel nut tool, although it did cause some marring to the nut and probably isn't good for the pins on the tool. The final con is the torque wrench. It's cheap and imprecise, but it should be good enough for your first build. I decided to buy another one and it cost about half the price of this kit, so that's probably why they didn't ship with a better one. Pros: The pivot pin tool is awesome, but the footage he showed doesn't do it justice.It literally turned one of the hardest things about the build into one of the easiest. Other than the barrel nut wrench and a flat head screwdriver, this kit has everything you will need to put your AR15 together (unless your pistol grip requires an Allen wrench, then you would need that too).
The punches with the nipple are roll pin punches. They are designed to keep you centered as you said, but the main reason that it's important to use them when knocking out roll pins is to keep from deforming and flaring out the end of your roll pin. If you use a regular punch and especially if it's too small you have the risk of it actually going into the center of the roll pin which will flare and oversize the end of it, or possibly even have the punch brake off in the roll pin. Once that happens it can ruin the roll pin and make it extremely hard to remove if not almost impossible without damaging the firearm. They are definitely worth the extra investment.
I was switching a barrel over to an a2 receiver. I didn't want to drift out the front sight pins. The real avid wrench won't fit over the front sight. I had to borrow a buddies open ended barrel wrench. Not the kits fault. The only thing the kit is missing is a flat screwdriver for a2 stock screw. Mine also didn't have the bolt catch pin punch. It had two roll pin starter punches. One of them has the hole damaged and won't hold the pin.
That tool that you display that had the side cut out of it that's for putting your bolt stop pin in and that allows you to stay away from the receiver while you drive that pin down when the lower receiver is in that one action block where it stands on its nose. And those punches with little tips on them in the center those are roll pin punches. That's a used to align the tool with the pain as you drive it into the receiver.
That magnetic vice block, how does it fair when working with low profile gasblocks? The ad only shows it being used in on A2 style front sight/gas systems.
Most of the tools can be used for an AR-10 except the vice block will obviously be too small for the magwell. Some of the cut outs in the armorers block may be a bit off too but for the most part you could build an ar10 with the kit. Its a fairly complete kit for the beginer and as you become more accomplished you can add a few thing to make it even better and personalize it to the way you like to build. For instance some guys dont like to use a reaction rod and would rather have a block or clamshell block to hold the upper while installing the barrel. I would add a barrel dimpling tool and probably a tool to face the front of the upper. Again, its a great starting point that will allow you to but together just about any ar.
@@darkmatter3538 im really liking it, its got everything, I used it to build my .350 legend and I used it to take apart my Bushmaster AR15 so I could paint some things
@@darkmatter3538 oh no, not cheap at all, the punches seem well made, its a very helpful kit, im gonna use it to build another AR when funds are more available
This is the same kit I bought than I found out that avid makes a better kit I believe they call it the pro .i may buy it as well. EDIT: I’m not a fan of the plastic pics.
Most of the kit is junk! Although, their packaging is amazing. Their pin punches are weak and break easily. The armorers wrench is their only MUST BUY. I own a few other tools from this kit but never needed to use them. Save your money and buy the wrench.
This company is this a small mom-and-pop type of thing or is this a large distributor type of kit? Do you know the MSRP on this? I have some friends that are just getting started into building their own AR-15s and when I try to price them out a kit to put together it's quite expensive and they don't come in a cool little case either. You're going to have to get some kind of large tool box. This would help out a bunch keep us up-to-date on this please.
Do you know of a kit like this that isn't made in China? It doesn't have to be made in USA, just not China. (This was invented and designed in USA, made in China).
I bought this Armorer’s wrench 🔧, it’s not great, the hammer pieces bent easy and won’t even screw in correctly or at all. I wasted $70 bucks on this and I regret it.. I wish these damn reviewers would tell the fukkin truth at least half the time...
@@SkinnySkinch You don't have to hammer on anything. Bust a few stuck barrel nuts loose, and the piece of shit will bend from the torque. The whole kit is shit ...and this was a shill video. Just another RUclipsr talking about how great the free garbage they got for free is... Just for the sake of getting something for free.
I purchased this kit and I am really disappointed. The punches and picks are terrible. The rest of the kit si very low quality. I have gone back to using mostly Wheeler tools
No go-no go guage No 80% jig All parts are cheap chinaism . Just buy some qualty tools , for tbe price of this kit you could buy some tools that you can use for other things too. Clovis pin btw is 48 cents vs their dedent install tool for 20 bucks
Where are you finding headspace gauges? No decent ones to be found right now. I searched everywhere and eventually found some on Amazon. Just returned the Chinese Forester knockoffs to Amazon. They said Forster and made in the USA, but the packaging had made in China sticker on the back. The No-Go worked, but not the Go. Watch what you buy people.

I got a decent kit, magpul bev block being awesome, but this is something on my list!
This thing is the best. Get this plus the vice and your set.
I have one and it's IMHO a good kit to have ,
I don’t own a AR platform as of now but I can see that this kit would be an absolute necessity to have if you have one 👍
Cool kit for someone just starting to get into assembling ARs.
Was hoping for a roll pin tool for the bolt release
Just got mine yesterday and happy with it
Just bought myself a Christmas gift!:)
Only thing missing is a snap ring tool.
do you know where i can buy this now the amazon link doesn't work anymore
Invest in precious Metals! Brass and Lead. 🇺🇸👍
Great video for this AR armorer kit. Very thorough and informative!

He explained that.
Thats A bad ass kit! Perfect demo of its tools. Thanks man! Checking out your pistol build
There so much stuff in there I could of used when building my two ARs. I need to get me this kit lol.
Hey man its $182 on bigdaddyunlimited.com maybe do the $1 month trial and save yourself some money
Very cool and well thought out kit, thanks for sharing.
Anyone got a count on how many times the word “kit” was said?
Answered all my questions about the kit - thanks👍
Great video bud ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I’ve been on the fence about this company but after your review I’m getting one 👍🏼👍🏼
That magnetic vice block, how does it fair when working with low profile gasblocks? The ad only shows it being used in on A2 style front sight/gas systems.
Nice presentation! Semper Fi
Where's the headspace, barrel erosion, and trigger/hammer gauges? Lots of frufru, but not a real armorer's kit!
and gas block dimple and/or pinning jig etc.
Welp dont buy your completed on sale for 200 bucks and you probably wont need hs gauges lmao just a jokey joke
Good show! Thanks for sharing!
No tool for the low profile gas block?
Very Very practical, well thought out kit
Where can I get one like this kit , how much they cost ??
Great review. Thank you!
Nice. Wish I had one when I was building my ARs. I had to buy everything separate.
Harrison McCullough Me too I wish I knew about this tool set before I bought every tool individually that even has some tools I don’t have yet.
Thanks for sharing, too bad I have many tools, many from Avid already. But I still think this is great idea.
Killer video! That is one kick as tool kit!!! Keep up the great work! Subscribed!
Thank U much.
Nice!
Where is the kit made?
cand this be used for a 308 as well?
Most of these tools seem universal, but are there any that would need to be specific for a larger AR10?
You need additional tools for AR10. The rod for the barrel, vice block,
Great video thank you.
I hope you don't take this the wrong way but if you have any guns or tools for guns you don't want can I have them
this kit works for ar 10 too?
WHERE CAN I PURCHASE THIS
It looks real amazing! And makes life awesome! 😎😎😎
Aromorers must smell terrific. :-)
Does this kit fit AR10? I am just learning and investing in parts. Are the nuts the same size as ar15?
Nice kit, it looks like all you could ask for. Going to see it on TRN :-)
Will this tool kit be for specific ar 15 or can we use it for ar 10
