The Wheeler 1199467 Barrel Nut Crowfoot Wrench delivers precise torque application for AR-15 barrel nut installation and removal without damaging the receiver threads. This specialized tool eliminates the frustration of standard wrenches that slip or round off barrel nut teeth during critical assembly work.

What Makes This Different

Unlike generic crowfoot wrenches, this tool features precision-machined teeth that engage barrel nuts with exact fitment across multiple manufacturers. The black oxide finish resists corrosion while providing enhanced grip during high-torque applications. Standard adjustable wrenches often slip at critical moments, but this dedicated design maintains consistent contact throughout the entire rotation.
