Other reviewers mentioned it. This reaction rod is "clocked" - with the raised "fin" it does not fit into the star chamber. My first thought was that my barrel was clocked, but I've tried it in 4 different uppers, and it's the same everywhere. I got a replacement, and it was identical. Without raising the index fin it "works", but then it has limited use, not what I needed. If you are removing/adding a muzzle device or replacing barrels, you need the "fin" to stabilize, and prevent putting stress on the upper.
Meanwhile I have the 308 version of this, and it fits just fine.

If you are building Ar's you need this tool for putting on barrels and using torque wrench properly without stressing your upper. Great price for a great tool.

Not every tool in the shed needs to be the most prium product and this is a fine subsitute to the oitragois prices that others ask.
Look, we all need these tools, but not everything wants to spend a barrels budget for one.
I threw this on a M4 build with a GI nut thqt ended up around the 55ft lbs mark to line the gas tube up with the upper receiver. This budget lug worked great.
I tested its clearance issue claiks on mtiple uppers. It lines up and fits everything. Im not sure what all the fuss is. With 55ft lbs.

Spline fit was off a bit fitting into barrel lugs but a tap in cleaned up the problem(removed a bit of plating on a couple lugs). Fits tight and alinement is spot on. did not cost much and worked very well. With saving of $90.00, more gun parts.

cheap and worked perfectly. was able to remove and replace a muzzle device. I know it's not like the more expensive one's but for someone that only builds once in a while, this is perfect.

I ordered the AR15 and the AR10 tool and it doesn’t get easier than using this tool. I’ve installed Keymo muzzle devices on all of my rifles using the Presma vise tools.
