Product Spotlight: The AR Takedown Tool
This video from Brownells features Gun Tech Caleb Savant showcasing the AR Takedown Tool™. This innovative tool simplifies the field stripping of AR-15 rifles by acting as a spring-loaded pin punch, eliminating the need for a hammer. It effectively removes pivot/takedown pins, hammer/trigger pins, recoil buffer detent, and the firing pin retaining pin. The brass punch tips are designed to prevent marring the receiver and self-align, while also being replaceable. A wider tip aids in depressing the buffer retainer for buffer and spring removal. The tool can be purchased alone or as part of a Gunsmithing Set that includes additional roll pin punches for various AR-15 components and other firearms. The video demonstrates the tool's effectiveness, even on stubborn gas block taper pins, and its ability to ease pivot pin installation.
