    Rolling AR15 Armorer Tool Cart

    I got tired of hunting through toolchest drawers to find my AR Tools, it also saves me time moving tools around the shop. Thought others may find the idea iseful for their own shop.

    I don't store my Gages out in the open. They are stored in bins grouped by caliber and labeled.

    Only problem I see is you have 5 too many adjustable wrenches. The best number to have is zero.

    Agreed, but with exception to the blue handle one. That one is slim jawed and works on a lot of different muzzle devices with thin wrench flats.

    Nice setup! I need to add some new tools. If I had a quarter of that I would be happy lol. Sitting over here with my roll pin punches, hammer, receiver block, and armorer's wrench

    Adjustable wrenches are worthless. I don't care what you say! Adjustable wrenches identify you as a shade tree gunsmith at best! Are you a licenced professional or just an unlicensed guy building rifles in you garage? Be careful how you answer the question.

    As I said some muzzle devices have wrench flats that are too thin for Armorers Wrenches and common wrenches (non tappet style). The slim Jaw unit has come in handy, the rest are there in case some other tool fails.

    I don't too my own horn but I will list my credentials.

    1 year Gunsmith Apprentice (Under a Master Gunsmith)
    12 years as a professional Gunsmith (Employee/Licensed FFL)

    In total I have slightly under, or a little over about 10k AR's that I have crossed my bench in that time, not counting other platforms.

    I am on my own now and doing my own thing. If you want more details I will gladly P.M. them. I'm not here to advertise, just share what I have learned.

    At least you have that. Lots of people try dinking on guns and don't have any proper tools for the job.

    Thanks for the compliments.

    Looks clean.

    Why take the tools to the gun bench rather than take the gun to the tool bench?

    That was my thought behind this. I know it's not for everyone, but I know many here take servicing and building seriously so I wanted to share my passion with you all.

    Thank you for the compliments Clint.

    As you said, not for every one, but what you've done is taken the equivalent of 8 feet of wall space over the bench and put it into half the space. Plus you have the ability to roll it to other areas in your shop.

    Always interesting to see how other folks do things.
