JD's Review of Wheeler Fine Gunsmith Equipment AR Armorer's Ultra Kit
I've built 3 ARs after buying this and the armorers wrench has not fit a single one of the barrel nuts. First was a Centurion Arms Handguard, second and third were a BKF M-LOK handguard. All using different sized nuts that were much larger than the wrench provided. It also did not include a breaker bar. Standard procedure for a barrel install is to torque it down then use a breaker bar to loosen then retorque again. The bag is neat but not worth spending this much money on for extra eous stuff you may not need. Some of the cleaning brushes I've used repeatedly but I've also ended up buying cleaning kits for all 3 guns because the included items are not sufficient. The copper tube solvent bore cleaner or whatever is pretty useless, I bought a bore snake and a cleaning rod instead. Most of this seems to be designed to be used on ARs without free floated handguards. Honestly just buy your tools piecemeal when you need them. And save money.
Pros:
- vise blocks
- punch kit
- torque wrench
- useful carrying bag
- armorer stand is adequate for quickly breakdown
- cleaning brushes
Cons:
- "universal" armorers wrench that doesn't work with everything
- bolt catch punchs have their rubber destroyed quickly
- bore guide useless gimmick
- no carbon scraper
- no mag vise block
Best Used for:
- ARs WITHOUT free floated handguards
Would Recommend:
No
