Me neither until getting this one a few years back. Way more useful than a standard receiver block.

That is awesome video and info you provided was valuable. Thx🤙

Great video I’ve use & own at least most of what you showed. All are good items to have for lots of builds. Thanks for sharing & Happy Father’s Day Brother

There’s so many more tools I’d love to have, but it’s taken me 10-15 years to accumulate the firearm tools I currently have. Always a new tool I’d love to have. Thanks for watching brother, hope you had a great Father’s Day!

Thank You Sir! I purchased the Magpul BEV block recently. It combines the reaction rod and mag block. Last year I purchased the Borka Torque Driver Combo. It has a wide torque range and works well on scope rings etc. 👍🇺🇸 #22aday

Dang, you're way better equiped then I am lol! For my next build I'm driving out to your place 😂 Some of this I have, and some I need. The gas block jig for starting that roll pin looks like it would save me a ton of stress and anguish! The Fat Wrench is pretty much a must have imo, I've used that thing too many times. Great video Christian, oh how I've missed watching them lol!

Thanks! You’re welcome anytime! I love tinkering and building/troubleshooting the AR platform. I got a couple new tools from my daughters too… can’t wait to try those out.

These are a couple I’ve wanted for a while. Don’t need them every day, but they sure can be useful. I’m hoping to start a business at some point focusing on AR builds/repair.

@@ChristianGrest that would be awesome, you should go for it! I'd love to do something like that at some point as well. I've got a lot more to learn first though, like which way the bullets face in the mag 😉

Oh man, I got this one not too long ago…. Can’t believe I went so long without one. Highly recommend snagging one. This is a cheap one that cost maybe $20 if I remember correctly.

You do it up right!

Don't forget a BAH. I have a full armorer's kit I got as a Christmas present years ago. They are a definite Must if you have firearms. 👍🏻

I figured a BAH was a no brainer 😃 Have plenty of those laying around. I’ve looked at some of the armorers kits, but I already have the majority they include. Took me many years, but I buy tools fairly often, when needed.
