Reviews & Ratings for Midwest Industries OPMOD Professional Armorer's Wrench — 14 reviews — Page 1

So this was an upgrade for my standard generic Chinese made armorers wrench. Which worked yes but could not guarantee it fit every castle nut that I have on all my different rifles. Barrel nut as well. That old Chinese one just was so out of spec. It was very very annoying. So that leads me into this review. I bought this wrench from Midwest interest industries opmod version . This version only comes in the silver finish. Tolerances seem really good, and really what I got fed up with the other wrench was the castle nut knobs. This one fits all my castle nuts and does not dig into the threads on your buffer too. It fits well. You have good engagement and you're able to torque the castle nut properly. I wish I would have bought this first time. I tried to go cheap and it was just always a hassle. If I can say you think you're only going to use that wrench once or twice and you can get by. You're going to use it a lot more than you realize. It's one of those things. As soon as you think you're not going to use it, you get the wrench out again and you make an adjustment. So worth every penny. In my opinion. I was able to use a coupon so it saved me a few dollars.

Solid wrench does everything you need it to. The price is great! Solid fit and feel!

I upgraded to the Midwest Industries Professional Armorer’s Wrench after using several cheaper options, and the difference is clear.
The Midwest Industries wrench is precision-machined with tight tolerances and solid engagement. It fits securely with no slop, provides better leverage, and feels much more controlled when applying torque. The build quality and durability are on another level.
The Midwest Industries wrench is absolutely worth the upgrade.

Wrench has great features, costs less than Magpul with same capabilities. Have both, and Midwest produces great products.

I've used about half a dozen armorers wrenches over the years, and by far this is the best in my opinion. Being able to torque from either end of the wrench is so nice...this is a no brainer if your in the market for new one...

The functionality of the tool is more than fine, works great in fact, but I was surprised it looked so old and worn. I'm pretty sure I bought a brand new wrench too. I'm not a tool guy and don't order lots and lots of them, but I was expecting something new and clean. The one I was sent had a nice finish but a few areas of the tool had patches of brown specks that almost looked like pitting or rust, and was oily, slick, or greased all over. I took it out of the packaging and immediately wiped it down with a microfiber cloth and washed my hands. It definitely looked and felt like someone used it once, put it in a drawer for 5 years, remembered they had it, then packaged it and sold it off.

Like I said, I'm not a tool guy, so maybe this is normal for certain types of tools? I give the appearance a 1/5 but the tool itself is 5/5. If you need something to just work, or maybe a good blunt object to protect yourself until you finish building your gun, this thing is a solid choice. Also cheaper than the Magpul one, and as someone else mentioned before, this tool is opened ended, so it's MUCH easier to put over muzzles and castle nuts.

Super well made and super sturdy. Made the job that much easier

Works as expected. Would recommend and purchase again.

Great product! Best wrench I have ever used. Midwest Industries and Optics Planet team up and make an awesome product.

I was just about to complete my build and realized I didn’t have the tool I needed. UPS showed up right when I found I didn’t have the right tool to torque down the end plate castle nut.

Great finish, the tool fits well with no slop. Sure, you might be able to find the standard finished one for less, but this is one you’ll want to hang on the wall. Also, a nice consequence, it’s easy on your gun and makes for easy clean up.
