Their customer service is among the best. I ordered a kit, one of the buckles was jacked up, I emailed them and they overnighted a new one, no questions asked. I've done 3 assemblies in the past 2 months and the kit has been perfect. I use a different torque wrench and geissele gas pin punches, but this kit is definitely of great quality.

Good video. A couple things of note. The bench block has a magnetized bottom so when you punch out a roll pin it doesn’t go flying. It sticks under the bottom. Also the twisty thing on the bench block is for the ejector instead of the extractor. The reaction rod upper holder has three pins in the red cap. The center one is used just as explained in the video but the two on the other side are also removable and are placed into the holes on the flat part so you can position the upper in any direction in the vice. The lower vice block is the best one I’ve seen yet. When it’s tightened in the mag well it holds it solid. There is not “slop”. A couple things that would have made the kit better get rid of the “D” ring tool and add some crows feet for other barrel nuts and a breaker bar, get rid of two of the plastic picks and add a couple metal ones, add a couple common hex wrenches for gas blocks and hand grips etc, change out the cheap torque wrench for a click type, and add a spanner wrench, also add a gas block alignment tool. Otherwise it’s a great kit. Wait for it to go on sale. Usually runs around $250, got mine by joining a buyers club and with a 10% discount I got it for $150.

I was an armorer in the USMC (2111) and worked on thousands if not tens of thousands of M16’s. There were only a handful of M16 specific tools. Most of them were not even daily use. I think my most used tools were pin punches and a small brass hammer. As I watched this video I was struck by the fact that the same thought kept entering my mind: “ahhh that’s neat and could be handy.” If you have money to burn and space to store this kit, I guess go for it.

Jesse Garcia I don’t think this kit is meant for the everyday consumer. It’s meant for people who make a living in the gun industry. The shop I Smith at, we put together 1 or 2 AR builds a week. So for someone like me it would easily pay for itself. Also it’s nice having everything in one compact kit rather than 8 different sets of tools in different drawers. But yes, for the average gun owner this is overpriced.

The kit does not contain everything you need. You will at the very least need a set of hex keys, if for nothing else other than the grip screw depending on the build. Also, there is no either/or for polymer vs nylon. Nylon IS a polymer, and most "polymer" you will encounter in firearms is a nylon. There is no specific material that is "polymer". It is not a material that exists on its own. A polymer is a type or class of materials that includes everything from Jello to the nylon on your rifles and maybe the soles of your shoes. The term polymer as its used in firearms is merely a marketing tactic to avoid using the term plastic. Most plastics are in fact polymers, however most polymers are in fact plastics, and ALL the polymers used in firearms are plastics. Its generally Nylon 6/6 with a glass fill of some percentage. There are some specific brands/composition nylons that are used that can change the characteristics, but they are STILL NYLON, and they are STILL PLASTIC. You can call them polymer to make yourself feel better about having plastic on a rifle if you want, but its still plastic. I know this was referring to the tools, but you should be aware of the lack of difference.
