This little takedown pin detent install tool actually works out perfectly fine. Makes installing easy & fast. Made well enough that it should last quite sometime but they do make a metal version also

It is worth it if you want a quick and easy way to install your pivot pin. Most of the tool is a soft plastic, other than the depression pin, which is metal. Some caution needs to be used to keep from marring the tool.

I would highly reccomend this tool to anyone who wants to make building rifles that much easier! And not to mention the time it will save you. The product is made well and is super easy to use with directions right on the back of the package.

Made installing the pivot pin a snap. Without a tool it can be a challenge to compress the small detent spring and plunger, which get held in place when the pivot pin is inserted. This Real Avid tool is fairly inexpensive and is perfect for the job.

After sending a few detents into orbit, I knuckled down and ordered this thing. After a little practice, it made it almost too easy to install the front pivot pin. I wish I had bought it sooner!
My only down-check is the pin portion of the device is easy to lose. I keep it and the red plastic body all together in a Ziplock in my tool kit.
Pros:
- Makes the usually tricky install easy
- Bright red stands out in the toolbox
- Not too expensive for what it is
Cons:
- Soff plastic body does get beat up in the tool box.
- Pin is easy to lose. Needs a retainer
Would recommend: Yes

The Real Avid Pivot Pin Tool works very well. It helps to Install the spring and detent without slipping and the spring and detent flying across the room. Works better than my old style pivot pin installation tool.

This thing is high quality for what it is and $cheap$ considering hunting down springs/detents. It’s just a plastic gadget for a few seconds of use. I’m not into wasting money on “special purpose” tools if I can manage without them. But, since I’m building multiple AR style rifles this tool and the bolt catch pins are worth buying.
Pros:
- Hi quality, easy installation
Would recommend: Yes

I really wish I had bought this tool 3 rifle builds ago. It took only a minute to position and set up the tool. It took less than a minute to install the spring and detent. I looked at other, more simple tools but I liked the template and the tool to push in the pin.
Cons:
- Pricier than other choices.
Would recommend: Yes
