Real Avid AR15 pivot pin install tool

$13 on Amazon
It took me only 1 try, less than 5 minutes
We all know that front pivot pin is a bitch to install and when the spring and detent go flying, now I'm on the floor with a flashlight looking for them like a crack fiend.  Sometimes multiple times. Took me over 1 hour one time for just this one part, and man I was getting frustrated
But this tool is well worth $13. I highly recommend it 👍👍

I haven't had good experiences with Real Avid tools. Their AR pin punches were soft. The kit for an AR builder was cheaply made.

This tool work perfectly every time.  I wish that I had known about it years ago.  I still have a bunch of 'oops kits' - never can have too many spare parts.
