I just ordered some more Brownells tools.So much easies than the struggling I used to do.At 69, with my hand strength going to hell,these tools are worth every penny.
Midwest Reaction Rod. By far one of the most useful tools I have. Aside from that, some of the old thin Tapco AR wrenches that were stamped out of sheet metal. Their ultra thin profile makes them super useful in installing muzzle devices that are close to the handguard.
Got the Brownells vise block set. I have been very happy with it. The lower block goes into the mag well from top or bottom. The upper clamp and insert hold more than the wood clamp vise being used. The only thing to watch out for, is the clamp can bite a finger on the back side.
Magpuls BEV Block and MI Armorers Wrench are two of my go to's. Can't go wrong with either. Especially MI's wrench, its easily at the head of the class.
I’ve been using Magpul’s Armorer wrench and the BEV block since they came out. These tools have done well for me, but I can see the value in the tools you’ve shown us here, Caleb.
I keep a dedicated carrier for use with my BEV block so I don't have to take apart an existing bcg. I have many Armorer's wrenches...except that one...and now I have to get a M.I. one!
I bought the Avid Kit when it came out, it's not that bad, some stuff sucks like the picks. It's decent starter kit. I also had different tools before like a Machine Shop Made Steel Reaction Rod ( NOT ALUMINUM ) punches of all kinds, Brownells Master Screw Driver Bit Set. Small inch pound Torque Wrench. Also 1 EXPENSIVE FT. LB. Digital Torque Wrench. The most ( SINGLE ) expensive thing I bought was the 8" VICE.
BRN-4 restock when? XD. Man I wished I had these tools when I built my first AR. All I had was pliers, a hammer, pipe wrench and a metal chair as a make shift vise.
I have one. If you are using it to add or swap muzzle devices, and your foward rail is any where close to it. It will eat the shit out of your fore-rail's end! Just take the dang rail off, before removing any muzzle device! (TRUST ME!) Because, It has some teeth on the opposite side of the muzzle wrench, that likes to schred aluminum! 😢
And its tricky to get balanced with your torque wrench, because of the handle's weight! & It has a nifty hammer, w/ 3 heads.... I never use. I like it, but don't just love it! And I love most all their other tools, I have.
Pliers can't remove a roll pin. Pliers can remove your finish. I never recommend them. The best tool for the bolt catch is the Little Crow Gunworks Bolt Catch Assembly Tool. Includes roll pin starter and pin punch.
Wife bought me the master armors vise and related upper and lower fixtures to go with it for my birthday how in the hell did I get away with out one all these years

I would add a good torque limiter such as the Wheeler Fat Wrench or Fix-It-Sticks for mounting accessories and optics.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience. It is well appreciated.

I have a bev block but haven’t used it for anything on the upper yet, what would you need a bcg for to use with it?
Most Dapper Tool picks
Caleb is legendary but he always sounds like hes about to start crying.
A like for the bazooka in the background 😂

Punch kit and small torque tool I'd add
Will that wrench fit a dmps 308 free float barrel nut that has 22 holes
Thank You your tips & tools help

Been wondering what armorers wrench to get, this MW one was on my list. Thanks for the heads up.
The mid-West is superb
Nice! Semper Fi
Why might you use that upper receiver tool over a reaction rod that interfaces with the barrel?
Sooo, why is there a SMAW in the gunsafe?
Any review on the Real Avid armorer's wrench? It looks ergonomical, but not sure if it's trying to be too many things, but none done well.

Good video!!
You need a pair of parallel jaw Knipex pliers for your roll pins. Cheat code activated.
No Reaction Rod?
Sweet tools!
So what is the advantage to buying the heavy vs the light weight upper device?
What about tools for old rifles like FN FAL or SKS?
I find the Geissele Reaction Rod or Magpul Bev Block to be superior.
I use the reaction rod, love it.
That rod is not suitable for barrel nut removal or installation. Should only be used for muzzle device work.
When are you getting the device back in stock?
Kniplex pliers

Be a good idea to link to the products
Can't.
@@brownells understood. Thanks for responding.
You’d rather have that than a magpul wrench?
Yes, it does more.

I feel like Caleb drives a rat rod. Or maybe just an old 30s hot rod 😂
Na an old 60's Jeep, Woodie. So he can pack all his hunting and fishing gear in it!
I was hoping for your opinion on one of them bolt carrier group firing pin scrapers I'm still using elbow grease
