Best handguard removal tool?

[cwgibson]

This is the one I have but I do not remember where I got it. It has taken off many a hand guard.

If you don't want to buy a purpose made tool you can do it with a pair of Channel Locks.

Don't get any easier than this.

Plus one on the Darrel tool from Brownells. The rubber looks user replaceable.

How about using fuel hose ? Its cheap and easy to get, seems like 3/8 would do it..

This is the one I use.

Been using this one for years: https://www.adcofirearms.com/itemdet...ntorynumber=90

When the tab gets worn, just put more electrical tape on it. The tubes are already covered with durable fuel line type hose.

You could do a preemptive coating of heat shrink on the rubber before using it which would not be as thick as rubber fuel line but would put a tough coating over the rubber surfaces that would make it quite a bit tougher than as it comes to you stock.
Recoating the surface with heat shrink as necessary after wear would keep it working for you for quite some time.

I'm resurrecting this one. I don't have the packaging anymore so I can't tell you what brands I've been using, but I've thrown out two different makes of handguard tool over the last few months because the rubber coating tears and eventually causes scuff marks on the delta ring.

This is frustrating!

Isn't there one tool universally acknowledged as "the best" and won't mar the rifle?

Aside from the 4.5 year old resurrection. Why are you using a tool to remove the handguards?
