Armorer’s wrench for Aero BAR barrel Nut

[MrWizard]

So I cheaped out and bought a UTG mini armorer’s wrench to use on my first AR build. Turns out, the pins don’t fit into Aero’s proprietary barrel nut! Now that it’s on its way back to the seller, does anyone have a suggestion for a replacement wrench that works well with Aero barrel nuts?

Tapco Armorer's Tool fits it. I've used Aero handguards with the BAR nut on the last 3 AR's I've put together and that's what I used.

Thats what I was leaning towards. Looks like a nice wrench. Is it 1/2” drive?

The expensive Magpul armorer's wrench at the top of the photo will not fit it because it has too many pins. The "cheap" no name wrench at the bottom of the photo fits.



The description of the Tapco wrench says it has a "1/2" opening to attach ratchet or torque wrench"...https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1007352657/tapco-multi-tool-ar-15
