Wheeler 710906 Engineering Bolt Catch Install Tool Kit , Black

If you're building up your own lower, you need these! Makes it easy to install the bolt catch, without leaving "idiot marks" on the receiver.

This tool set works wonders. It’s a pin holder/starter that works great and then one to finish the install. The rubber coated flat side gives good access with out dinging up the side of your lower. Done it before with common tools but this makes it worlds easier. If you don’t have a set, it would be worth wild investment.

Works as it should made it an easy process for the bolt catch.

These punches make a PITA job a quick, easy and painless one. I didn't have these when I built my first stripped AR lower, so I didn't think they were needed at all. Well I buggered up the roll pin on my next build and I couldn't drive it all the way home because the punch i was using wouldn't get in close enough anx due to the crown I put on it. Functionally the bolt catch worked but it looked bad with rolled edges and sticking out of one side. It really bothered me, I had spent $2,200 building the perfect SPR and this was the only flaw the rifle had. Every time I shot it or had it out I always saw that mangled pin. Finally I bought Wheel's brass, steel and poly punch set thinking I could knock it back out with them and then replace it and not harm the finish in the process. Wrong again, I just couldn't get the punch in where I needed it to be since it had to go out the way it came in and scratching up my receiver wasn't an option. Eventually I couldn't take looking at it anymore and I bought this punch set. I had already bought a few new roll pins when I bought the other punch set but they sat laughing at me. The day I got these I had that pin out in just a few minutes and the one in just as quickly. With the profile of these pins you can drive it either way but from the rear is the easiest. They are absolutely worth their price and I'd recommend them to anyone who plans on building an AR and I'd say they a necessity for anyone planning on building more than one. Knowing now how much easier the job becomes I wish I would have bought them before I started building my first stripped AR. Even if your not going ro build an AR these are worth the money if you just want to swap out your mil-spec bolt catch for an enhanced one. Are they required? No, but they sure make life easy and could be used for roll pins that are similar in size. I only wish I had bought them sooner.

A most have if your into building AR 15/10 lower receivers

makes it way easier to install the bolt catch without messing up the finish on the AR

Great product and transaction. Well made for the prescribed use.

I ordered this after I broke one of my others from a different set and this makes the job so much easier by holding the pin in the recessed tool. I would highly recommend this. My only gripe is that the rubber coating seems to be coming off the back after a few whacks with the hammers.

Nice punches, good to have these on hand close by.

Makes things easier to install. A definite must have for your AR tool kit.
