Best tool for the job(14/05/2010)
Makes removal of handguard fast and easy great for new/used guns. What can at times take two ppl makes it a one man job now I love this tool.
easy recommendation(16/07/2010)
very well made, very robust. dont even consider the others.
piece of cake(15/11/2010)
its simple but it works. if you need to remove a handguard or free float rail then you must buy this item.
THE BEST!(19/01/2011)
I bought a cheaper tool elsewhere and it was a complete disaster. You get what you pay for and this tool IS THE BEST! It makes removing the handguard on your AR EASY!
great for stubborn handguards(08/08/2011)
again right on the money I have used this too clean and service a few weapons already works great even on the ones where someone used fishing line to clean out the delta ring..
Simple but absolutely effective(02/09/2011)
"Keep It Simple, Stupid"...applies to this tool perfectly. Works like a champ and works every time. No learning curve, torque specs, training video or multi-page instruction sheet. It just works.
The Very Best!(16/11/2011)
This Tool is by far the best one I have used to remove hand guards. Purchased a second back up one just incase they become hard to get. The rods are covered by a very thick and tough automotive fuel line reinforced with nylon / kevlar braiding so there are no worries as to if it will hold up to most solvents, chemicals, or just plain hard use. The D-Ring is safe from marring thanks to this very simple and resourceful idea. The part that fits inside the magwell is covered in what appears to be electric heat shrink tube, so if it ever does wear out its a very easy and inexpensive fix. KISS is perfectly applied to this tool and gets my praise. You won't be disappointed
Worth the extra [$](07/12/2011)
It's a little pricey, but compared to the lower priced option, it's a bargain. Simple, rugged design that is "renewable" if you ever manage to wear out the heavy duty fuel line that serves as the "rubber coating" on the arms. I doubt anyone other than a full-time AR armorer could ever wear this unit out...Unlike the less expensive option.
Great Handguard Removal Tool(12/02/2012)
I was in the market for a handguard removal tool and read numerous reviews about others which left marks and were difficult to use. This model had good reviews and I decided to buy. I am very happy that I did.
This tool is made of strong materials that won't bend or give. There is a rubber coating on the handles to prevent any marking of your delta ring. The rubber appears to be automotive tubing (indicated by the goodyear label). This is a remarkably simple design that is very efficient. I'd recommend this to anyone with an AR, who may need to remove the handguard at some point.
Buy this one(29/02/2012)
I was going to buy the cheaper tool like this one that Brownell's carries, but based on its reviews, I decided to pay a few dollars more. After using it several times, I'm glad I bought it! All of the contact surfaces are covered so it will not mar or otherwise damage the rifle or its components. If you're going to get one; get this one. You won't be sorry.
Works Great!(04/08/2012)
Like Apple products this tool just works. Worked fine removing two sets of rifle length and one carbine length hand guard set from pre-ban rifles. Beats the heck out of using three hands to do the job.

It does cost a bit more - but the tool is easy to work with. It will require that the lower receiver be attached. It makes taking off the hadguards a snap.
Great AR tool if there ever was one!(24/06/2013)
I've been an armorer for a lot of years and removed handguards the old way since I served in the military. I wish I had this tool 30 years ago. Holds up to daily use and doesn't scratch at all. Buy it.
Absolutely Awesome Tool(26/04/2014)
I just removed some handguards on a rifle with this tool. This thing works great!
I had to have some help from a friend when I put these handguards on the first time. I can't believe how easy this tool made it to take them off. I put the barrel in a block in my bench vise to hold the rifle and then one hand on the tool and pulled the handguard halves away with my other hand. Couldn't have been nicer.
Almost forgot to mention to top it off this was on a flat slip ring. Not one of the triangular Delta rings.
Works Perfectly!!(18/08/2014)
Being issued an AR15 for duty use, I wanted a tool to remove the hand guards to make weapon maintenance a little easier. I could not have found a better product. Right after receiving the tool, I had the hand guards off within seconds and was cleaning away. If you have a AR15 or like weapon, I suggest you invest in this tool. Thank you, Brownells.
AR-15 DCF Handguard Removal Tool(08/12/2014)
After reading the reviews of several Handguard removal tools, I decided to get this one. It costs a little more, but it is well worth it. It will not bend and the rubber cushions will not tear. I've used it on my Carbine and Rifle and it makes removing/replacing the Handguards a snap. I highly recommend this tool.
I've never had it so good!(17/12/2015)
I've been struggling with AR delta rings for years. No longer!
This is that "third hand" that's needed to remove AR hand guards easily, safely, without injury, or without damaging the hand guards.
This tool is very easy to use and is extremely robust in it's construction. Every AR owner should own this tool!
Very good quality(14/04/2017)
Very good quality as it comes with its price. Protects the delta ring and won't mar on you even the anodizing. get it!
Wonderful(22/10/2017)
Wonderful hand guard removal tool. No problem depressing the delta ring completely and without scratching. The arms are covered with evap/gas line that aids in gripping, eliminates scratching-marring, and stays permanently on, unlike the rubber coated cheaper made removal tools. Made with strong steel that's not going to bend when used. This is the last removal tool you'll ever buy and worth every penny.
It works very well!!!!(31/07/2018)
I'm glad I spent the extra money to get this better quality tool. It worked very well on my AR15A1. The delta ring on the A2 models are not that difficult to manipulate with a strong hand. The A1 delta ring, however, is a total pain-in-the-butt!!!! I would have never been able to re-install my A1 handguards without it. The tool possesses thick rubber liners on the arms that provide a strong grip. Spend the extra money for this one, it's worth it!!!!
