Not sure if this is the right place. And did a search and didn't find any conclusive evidence.

Just about complete with my AR tool kit for building and repairing. Only major thing I'm missing right now is an ejector removal tool. I know it's a limited use and maybe will only get a few uses out of it over the lifetime, but I'm thorough and believe in having everything I need.

Price isn't a concern, but quality is. Searching Brownells, I found three items that fit the bill:

http://www.brownells.com/gunsmith-tools-supplies/rifle-tools/bolt-tools/ejector-tools/ejector-removal-tool-prod23114.aspx

http://www.brownells.com/gunsmith-tools-supplies/rifle-tools/bolt-tools/ejector-tools/bolt-ejector-tool-prod880.aspx

http://www.brownells.com/gunsmith-tools-supplies/rifle-tools/bolt-tools/ejector-tools/ar-15-m16-ar-style-308-bolt-ejector-tool-prod18759.aspx

The third link says .308 bolts, but there is a separate item on that page for standard AR bolts.

Anyway, looking hard at the first Brownells version since it says it's useful for other models of rifles. The Young is cheaper and I know the company has good quality. The second one just looks...flimsy?

Anyone used the ones I listed above or have an alternate item? Suggestions? I'm a buy once, cry once person, so I'd rather pay more up front and have a tool for life rather than save a buck or two on something that I'll end up replacing down the road.

Price isn't a concern, but quality is.

Then one from Specialized Armament is your only choice. It's a very high quality piece.

Is to use the solid head portion of a fired round and a padded vise. Once the ejector pin has been compressed, the retaining pin can be driven. Then slowly out with vise jaws releasing the small parts for whatever purpose you had originally intended.

No damage, and no expense for an infrequent or field expedient job.

The last link is the same one I use. Works perfectly fine.

I just used a scrap piece of wood, a 9mm case, and my vice.
