I'll put it very simply: if you're getting a Guntec ultralight handguard, get this tool for your torque wrench. That's it. Period. Seriously, you need it. My reason for knocking off a star, and this is actually a big complaint for me, is that these should come with the handguard and not as a separate piece. It is just that necessary for proper installation

Great charging handle. There's really not much more to say, geissele really hit it out of the park. This thing is strong, large enough to grab each side with at least one finger or thumb with a secure grip. There's also a bump up in the curve where the charging handle meets the receiver and that small addition does a great job of keeping venting gas away from your face. It's only downside is also its strength, the extended wings can poke your back if the rifle is slung, and at least once the charging handle has been unlocked by putting my rifle down on a hard surface which actuated the charging handle wings. I originally got one of these to use on an upper I was building to give to my father. He has arthritis in his hands and this charging handle worked so well for him he immediately got another SCH for his current upper.

The upper bridge is incredibly thick and won’t fit under the guntec slim ultralights. Also very heavy because of its thickness. Unfortunately it is not obvious at first and I attempted to mount the hand guard, which resulted in both the inside of the hand guard and outside of the gas block being scraped up.
