AR15 tools

Anyone know a good place to look for AR15 tools in the Philadelphia/DELCO/Bucks area? I need a decent spanner wrench to remove a stubborn castle nut, amongst other things. A gas key staking tool would be nice as well....

MOACKS II or Pocket MOACKS for staking the carrier key. It doesn't get much better than these two tools.

Be careful when purchasing one of those all-in-one tools. The one I got (can't remember from where for the life of me) didn't work on my castle nut at all because it doesn't fit snug enough and keep coming loose. I got the single-function one from DPMS, but it's too short for me to leverage and now I need a 1/2" drive torque wrench to work it. I'm in Philly. If you have a torque wrench, you can borrow and try mine...or even try the all-in-one as you may have better luck.

I have several torque wrenches. I Live in Philly, they are in Princeton at my parents but I am up there usually about once a week. If you need a torque wrench I am more than happy to bring one down and torque anything you need.

Cool! Thanks. If you have one with a 1/2" drive, it will work with the castle nut wrench. I can't take the one on my S&W M&P15T off.
