Gotta take time to say this. You are the very best at one thing on this channel. You are sincere and you actually enjoy helping people. No one else on the net does what you do the way you do it. I can tell it comes from your heart. The time it takes for you to help others, with all the links you create and all the intricate details you project on this channel is truly amazing. I appreciate you. Easily one of the top three or four guys on the net. thanks for all the help you give, and I know you started with very little and you have never lost sight of how that was. This is a great channel for guys that have very little money to get to their goals, with your help and encouragement, they have no excuse to quit or give up. Thanks

[@ocelot11snake]

Tip from a Home Depot employee: I've had many of those work benches come off the truck over the years and most of them had issues with the legs popping out of the storage clips on the back when banged around, sometimes snapping off the clips. Fortunately HD takes anything back

[@brandonrager8733]

For future reference to anyone who is using this table. I rarely use this for anything besides working on my AR. That center plate can be removed so you can easily just attach your vise to plywood without needing to hollow out the underside. It will drop right down through the center.

[@KayoMonei]

Does it have to be screwed into the table or does the table hold the plywood with the vise on it

[@TristanPinkham]

I was literally just thinking about how to make a portable build station or small workbench in our little townhouse, and then this pops up in my feed. Great timing!

[@CoryHobbs2178]

Looks like Google can read minds now.. Great 😉

[@TristanPinkham]

@@CoryHobbs2178 definitely suspect! ;)

[@stephanfilm5684]

Can I make a suggestion on mounting your vise to the plywood? Use threaded T-nuts. You simply drill a straight hole through then hammer in the T-nut from below and buy regular hex bolts and washers and screw it down from the top. As you tighten down the bolts hard it will pull the T-nuts flush to the underside of your plywood. You just need to purchase the correct length hex bolts so they don’t protrude from the bottom of the board but that’s easy to find and you can use washers to fine tune the length. Way cleaner than your method with the wing nuts and super easy to take the vise on and off if needed even with the board mounted to the bench.

[@efreutel]

Great idea! Thank you.😊

[@coryg1109]

I bought this kit about 8 months ago. It has really saved me on multiple occasions. This review you gave was the main reason I purchased this. I had seen it before but was considering just doing a piecemeal kit buying tools as needed. After this review I researched some more and decided it would be the thing to buy. Since then, I have not once regretted it (Crazy, one tool I found that I hadn't realized was in the kit...you know, instructions...why read them) REALLY saved me a lot of time and frustration.

[@Josh-pr3eh]

From someone whose about to start building their AR I’m super happy with the fact your links are great it’s not hard . This is an AMAZING first setup and it’s gonna be cheaper then anything else I put time into and I’ll be able to take it places . I really appreciate videos like this. I’m gonna keep looking into other videos and try to find more links to parts and stuff !!

I have that same work bench. I was trying to figure out how to mount my reloader to it without drilling holes in it. I didn't know those clamps were there. Thanks for the tip.

[@paleogeology9554]

Not to sound mean but you should really take a course in Gunsmithing if you are gonna do videos like this, A lot of your techniques are totally wrong and misleading, Also when you mount a vise, the bolt heads are supposed to be facing up on the vice then use some large fender washers to crank it down and give the vise stability or even put some pieces of the steel connecting the two front and two back bolts so it distributes the force of the vice evenly given your using a plastic bench

[@williekeith5690]

can you do a build with a 3d printed lower? i would love to see that!

Carrying it when you travel is also a real time saver. On the board, you could also carry a reloading set. So many ways to save cost and increasing versatility. Breaking something out in "the middle of nowhere" can ruin your day.

[@903stat]

I wish I knew about the kit sooner, but I have now purchased all the parts to build the work station cause I also have no space in garage, would do everything I could at dinner table and use a buddies vise. Now I have the work station that tucks away in the garage. Now I can do everything thing at home. Thank you so much for all the info.

[@lilmike1780]

Can’t wait to see what u have because the last two I built were on the bathroom floor with all the drains closed and the toilet seat down so I didn’t lose and springs or detents

[@travisbond635]

Congratulations my friend on your baby. You're doing a great job. I love that kit. Keep up the good work.

[@CoryHobbs2178]

Congrats on your baby! That seems like a really good kit, especially with how much you get for the money. My only recommendation would be this: Try to spend $100 to get the Midwest Industries URR (Universal receiver rod) it actually has a sail that goes where the gas key would go. It's a much better solution to ensure you don't break the barrel index pin or wallow out the receiver thread. You can also use it to make sure you have your barrel lined up properly with the upper receiver

[@jnananinja7436]

That definitely looks like a suoerior rod, however, it appears that this one has a locking device/pin that serves the same function. And although aluminum won’t last as long as steel, you also don’t risk scratching or chipping the barrel with aluminum. But I’m a newbie so…

[@CoryHobbs2178]

@@jnananinja7436I could understand where you're coming from. It'll get the job, but using aluminum for this application has some inherent issues. You'll appreciate the URR if you ever get your hands on it for the reasons mentioned above. Less chance of breaking your rifle and less chance of breaking your tool

[@tejumo7]

I bought one of these Real Avid sets and have even used some of the tools to assemble a number of builds. I recommend learning which tools you need and compiling them a la carte from high quality manufacturers. Many of the plastic Real Avid tools have already broken in only a few builds. Also, literally the first operation shown in the instruction manual highly recommends using go/no go headspace gauges. These gauges are NOT included in this set, but again, were central to the very first instruction shown. Save money and buy high quality US-made tools based on what you actually need to complete your build.

[@JeezUriah]

I like sawing and drilling holes in the living room furniture, so this kit would be right at home!😊

[@sightlinestrategies]

I stumbled across your video, which I am extremely grateful for. I have had this kit now for about a month and learned things about it I didn't know. Thank you so much for the information. I also agree about the plastic picks, although mine have proven to be durable, so far.

[@sijonda]

After building my AR a couple years ago. My conclusion is you only need 2 specialty tools. Something for the barrel nut and buffer castle but. And a tool that fits into the barrel action to torque the barrel nut.

[@b.vo.]

Kit is $189.99 on Big Daddy Unlimited at the time of posting

[@danielblair6592]

[@The_Privateer]

I have the Real Avid AR 15 Armorer's kit - It's "ok." Nothing special and some of the tools are cheap and cheesy but all in all, it's not bad. You can put together the same set tools for cheaper, with better components but this one will get you by. Some of the tools are GREAT, some are of the tools are pretty meh and it's really nice having it all in one case. Bottom line: Is it worth it? Yeah.

[@vertebrae3352]

would you please do us all a big favor and post a list here of your suggested higher quality components for a full function armorer kit I'm sure it would be a hit. THANKYOU !!!

[@ratta_tat]

I have this kit and I agree that some of the tools, like the plastic picks, are really soft and not useful. But, on the whole, being able to take it anywhere quickly, is awesome. And some of the tools save so much time and aggravation!

[@macman1138]

This kit would be great for anyone wanting to do some side jobs for extra cash.

One thing I’ve learned about “that one tool that does it all”, is that, it may do it all, but it doesn’t do it well. Great kit though!

[@scottsummers6357]

True, but I don't think that this was made for someone who makes their living as a gunsmith. It seems like it's made for guys like me who would like a good start on tools, we can always add to what is there.

[@scotmetcalf2745]

Watch that torque wrench carefully or check it regularly for calibration but there are better ones. I bought myself a torque screwdriver and love it. Like you I’d tighten things down and call it good ,no more. Love your setup

[@justinguarino201]

Honestly, 200-250 for that is not bad. I’ve been purchasing tools here and there and they’re all kinda just everywhere that I’ve just been purchasing even if not needing them at the moment (just found deals). The other day I was working with my gas system, which I had purchased the reseeded punches that would hold the pin, and completely forgot I had it, until I was working on a lower a couple hours after the fact, after struggling to get the dang pin in the gas tube lol. Then realized I did have the punch I needed that would have helped get it started… so I still have yet to use it and will probably forget about it again the next time I do, so something like that is definitely a good investment in my opinion, even if you do just plan to build one ar

[@jhalpinjr]

Great video! I bought the Avid Master Armorers Kit as well. Great kit. I will however be the first to say, it does NOT come with everything you need. It has 95%- off the top of my head, it would be nice if they included a set of Allen Keys- as most gas blocks need them. Love the video, love the channel. Keep it up!

[@MAGAMAN]

The forsner bit isn't the problem, the plywood is the problem.

[@EclipzZero]

I like the idea of the kit a lot. There are some ingenious designs in there. Having said that, for 250 bucks I would expect less plastic. Let us know how those little plastic parts hold up brother!

The "Beam type" torque wrench, which is the type that came with that kit, is the most acurate type made. It is just a little harder to use than the others.

[@kona5853]

It needs a matching low profile tabletop vise like the drill press vises. with a low profile and wide base it would not necessarily need to be fastened down to torque barrels or break em loose. Would make it more expensive and heavier but it would truly finish it out that you would never need anything else to build your ARs.

[@Scarywoody]

Just for reference Daniel Defense torques the barrel to 52 lbs. I called them when I did a build.

[@reyvynnightveil1706]

I love this tool set, especially the pivot pin detent tool. Holy crap it made installing that thing so easy. Another con, just to split hairs, I do wish there were a few of the most common AR-related Allen wrenches, just to have a space within this one box to store them, but... that's not much of a con, since I already have so many at home, in the garage, in my car, in my range bag, etc...
