Good to know. I have one on the end of a multi tool but its a one pron POS. Yours looks better! And the rubber handle looks like a plus.

Did you properly stake your tube and plate when you were done?

Nope, wasn't staked to begin with, imho blue thread locker does the job better anyway.

I just got the Bushmaster version of this. Looks identical so probably made by the same manufacturer.

Bushmaster sells it as the 223-Telewrench2 for $6.50. I ordered their taller A2 sight post blade and A2 sight adjustment tool so added this to the order.

I agree with SNAFU's review and rating. Nice tool to have around and does its job well. It tightened up my telestock nicely but an extra couple inches of leverage might help. Snug fit while you're torquing the castle nut so not likely to slip. Glad I got it.

Besides telestocks, the second hole works on A1/A2 fixed stocks.

I did not stake mine either. May do that later if there's any doubt about it remaining tight. Right now it's real tight even trying the wrench on it.

Did either of you guys have any problems with it twist off the nut while you were putting pressure on it?

Sorry, didn't see this question till now bird dog...

No, the extra teeth make a snug fit. I put a lot of torque on it and no slipping off the castle nut at all. I notice that Snafu says the same thing in his review.
