Excellent, Very Functional
It's aluminum but well-built. Slides and locks in with positive engagement and feels quality. I have no use for the gas tube pipe but luckily it's removable. Fit for purpose and recommended.

Essential tool for upper receiver/barrel work.
Works wonderfully. Great fit. Seems accurately manufactured to what you’d expect. Have used it many times. Makes for a very solid mount. Very quick and easy to use.

Works well, great tool
Great tool for the casual amateur armorer. The sail is perfect for keeping proper alignment and strength under torque. The barrel locking feature isn't necessary but is nice for initial headspace measurement.Thr gas tube alignment piece is nice to have and it's nice that it is removable as well.It's aluminum so it probably won't hold up in a constant use professional environment but it does everything I need it to do.

Best Rod
The fit of this rod is accuracy and functions as it should. Value for money a bit high but ease of use makes up for it

Pretty good actually
My only complaint is the weird gas tube retention o-ring thingy... kinda weird. Feel like that could be thought out a little better. Other than that it helped crack off a rocksetted flash hider without any issues whatsoever. It feels a little flimsy at first, but she's solid once its in a vice. Its worth the price and defnitely better than shelling your receiver, barrel, etc. The peice of mind of knowing that I'm not jacking up my gun to undo a silly flash hider is worth the price alone. Glad I bought it.

Great reaction rod
Fantastic, good quality and works as it should for nearly half what a Midwest costs

Why did I struggle for so long before buying this?
I've thought about buying one of these for a long time. Every time I had to swap a flash hider. But I'd think, 'no - I'll just tough it out and wrestle the upper on a carpeted floor under my foot. Finally pulled the trigger (pun intended) and am kicking myself for not getting this sooner.There are a bunch of cheaper ones out there, but I have some other Wheeler stuff and really like the quality and durability of their products.Made swapping a flash hider to a new ASR compatible one so much easier! Nice locking feature, just slide into the locking lugs of the barrel and turn the dial. It locks the action rod to the barrel. Very stable and secure on my upper. Unlocking is just as easy.Just wish I hadn't been a cheap idiot and added one of these to my tool collection sooner.

Works well.
This is the only Aluminum one I would recommend. Go with the Midwest industries steel one if you want an upgrade from this.The guy on here who snapped the front locking portion off had no idea what he was doing. That was 100% user error. He had removed the top portion of the tool which takes the strain off of the indexing pin by bracing against the charging handle track.In doing so this allowed him to index the locking lugs incorrectly while simultaneously trying to use the tool in the locked position.I sure hope he retires from gunsmithing if this tool was too complicated for him.
