Use a different tool - Radian Weapons Talon-GI 45/90 Safety Selector for AR15

Use a different tool when depressing the spring to slide the safety lever on the column. Like the instructions said, I used the small tool provided, immediately slipped and scratched my lower receiver. The tool is only necessary to take the safety lever off. You can use anything non-marring to depress the spring, slide the lever on and not risk scratching the receiver. The 45 short throw felt mushy and weird, I wasn’t crazy about it so I switched it to the 90 option and it feels much better. Very clicky and I like the length of the lever, it’s easy to operate one handed and it looks fantastic. Overall pretty happy with it!
