Wheeler 1199464 Mil-Spec AR-15 Barrel Nut Crowfoot Wrench Black

The Wheeler 1199464 Mil-Spec Barrel Nut Crowfoot Wrench eliminates the frustration of installing and removing AR-15 barrel nuts in tight spaces. This specialized tool provides the precise torque control needed for proper barrel assembly without damaging expensive components.

What Makes This Different

Unlike standard wrenches that require complete removal of the upper receiver, this crowfoot design works with a torque wrench while the barrel extension remains in place. The tool's slim profile fits between the barrel nut and gas tube, allowing technicians to achieve the required 30-80 foot-pounds of torque specification. Standard socket wrenches simply cannot access this confined workspace effectively.

Key Features

• Mil-spec dimensions fit standard AR-15/M16 barrel nuts precisely
• Black oxide steel construction resists corrosion and wear
• Crowfoot design works with 1/2-inch drive torque wrenches
• Compact profile allows access in assembled upper receivers
• Heat-treated steel withstands high torque applications
• Compatible with standard military specification barrel nuts
• Professional-grade tool for armorers and gunsmiths

This wrench proves essential during barrel swaps, gas system maintenance, and complete upper receiver builds. Armorers rely on its precision for duty weapon maintenance, while competitive shooters use it for barrel upgrades and accuracy improvements. The tool maintains consistent torque readings across multiple installations, ensuring proper headspace and barrel alignment every time.
