I'm looking to get a new Multi-tool to re-install my Larue FF. (The cheap one from overstock sucks) What is the experience with these? This time around I'm really gonna torque the barrel nut down so I'm worried that I might break the tool. |
There's no way in hell you'll break the DPMS tool, if that's a concern. I ordered one, and was like when it arrived. A lot bigger than I thought it would be, and solid as hell. Heavy too.Do what I did, and order from CheaperThanDirt, and use the $10 off coupon code. I think it came out to $26 shipped. Here's the link: DPMS Multi-Tool 1037-9508 1531-2908 1885-6508 ETA: These codes must be expired  . Sorry fellas.

Forgetfull, The DPMS Multi-tool is what I use to install my LaRue rails. They can break, but it does take a lot to break them. USMC03 and I each broke ours on one of his rifles, but that particular rifle had to be sent back to get taken of. If you use a breaker bar in conjunction with the Multi-tool, it'll make getting the barrel nut on tighter much easier. And if you do break the Multi-tool, DPMS with replace it. |
Wow good price! it looks like that's the deal I'm taking advantage of. Another question, anyone know where to get a DPMS Panther action block for cheap? I assume theses blocks are just as good as the clam type? |
These? Might as well tack it onto the tool order  .

I recently recieved the DPMS multi tool, and was impressed with its weight and quality. I see this thing being around for a good long time. As for the reciever block, I'm not sold on the version that uses the pins to take all the torque. I purchased the clamshell type reciever block as I believe it distributes the torque stress more evenly across the entire reciever instead of focusing it on the tow pin mounts. A simple fixture can take a hell of a lot of torque as long as it is spread across a great area, localize it and you can have problems. Just my $.02. |
| Hi NY_Shooter, a little help if you could, I am tring to order the DPMS wrench you posted about but none of the promotion numbers you gave for the $10 discount apply and they will not get the $10 promotional discount you spoke of. Do you (or anyone) know the correct number?...Thanks....<><....:) |
I had the same problem too. As far as I know no one knows the new promo #. I spent a lot of time looking for it this afternoon. |
. I edited my post above.
As of tonight, 1531-2908 is still valid (the others have expired) but requires minimum order of $100. Bill |
