Each tool within this kit has been meticulously crafted with superior materials and tolerances to ensure optimal performance during use. For instance, the Armorer’s Master Wrench features an ergonomic design that fits both your hand and gun precisely while providing strength and precision fitment on stubborn barrel nuts, castle nuts, muzzle brakes or fixed stock receiver extensions. It also boasts industry-first torque wrench attachment location optimally positioned to deliver consistent torque across all nuts.

The Lug-Lok Upper Vise Block offers a safe and smart way to lock down an AR15 upper into a bench vise with its precision machined fitting into all Mil-Spec uppers. It mates perfectly with barrel extensions allowing rotation of the upper for work on different sides; two vise pins facilitate holding at multiple working angles while a locking knob keeps it seated securely into barrel extensions.

The Armorer’s Master Kit – AR15 also includes the Smart-Fit AR15 Vise Block which adjusts for tight fit in any AR15 magwell providing stable foundation when working on lowers making loose-fitting blocks obsolete. Simply insert it into the magwell, twist knob until tight then place in bench vise. This versatile tool can be used for installing pistol grips as well as cleaning bore & chambers hassle-free using the included Pivot Lock.

The Armorer’s Master Kit – AR15 also includes a variety of other essential tools that make building or modifying your firearm an efficient and straightforward process.

The Master Bench Block® – AR15 is arguably one of the most versatile bench blocks ever made for this particular firearm model. This block can hold five key gun components in eight different orientations, enabling you to knock out and install 13 different pins with ease. The block’s overmolding ensures it grips onto your workbench without sliding around while four strong magnets capture pins as they are knocked out.

The kit also features an Easy-Grip™ Handguard Removal Tool designed for effortless removal of handguards. Its design allows it to fit into the magwell, providing leverage while its handles ensure comfortable operation during handguard removal.

Another invaluable item in this kit is the AR15 Pivot Pin Tool which simplifies what could otherwise be a frustrating task – installing a pivot pin. With this tool at your disposal, aligning the pivot pin becomes easy; insert spring and detent pin then slide pivot pin into place effortlessly.

For those looking to build or work on their AR15s, having every standard and roll pin punch needed is crucial – something that Real Avid has taken care of by including an extensive Pin Punch Set within this master kit. It comprises all necessary sizes from 1/16″ roll pin up to 5/32″, along with staking punch and bolt catch roll pin starter & punch among others.

To provide even more precision during assembly or disassembly processes, there’s also a dedicated Pin Alignment Tool included in this set – ensuring each component fits perfectly where it should be.

Other great tools include Accu-Grip™ Picks & Brushes useful for picking small parts or cleaning hard-to-reach areas; a Bore Illuminator/Safety Flag for inspecting the bore and ensuring safety during storage or transportation; and an AR15 Front Sight Adjuster Tool, which is essential for adjusting front sight elevation.

All these tools are housed in a professional tool case that not only keeps them organized but also ensures their longevity by protecting them from potential damage. The kit also includes detailed step-by-step instructions to guide you through the top 18 AR15 modifications – making it an invaluable resource regardless of your experience level.

Real Avid’s Armorer’s Master Kit – AR15 goes beyond providing just the basic tools needed for building or modifying an AR15.
