So Im still collecting parts for my AR15 builds but I know Im gonna need a tool if for nothing else to attach the buffer tube.
So im looking at the tools out there and seems to be a wide price range but only a small handful of designs.
I've heard the magpul wrench is really nice but cheapest I can find that is 60 bucks, which seems kinda high for what it is.

The tapco looks ok but is still kinda high for what looks like mostly stamped steel.

Then there is NCStar wrench which looks pretty wild to try and use but I've seen a LOT of names on this style of wrench so it seems somewhat generic a design to me.

I come across this style on ebay, pretty generic but I like the shape and metal looks reasonably thick.

What's everyone's thoughts?
Im not planing on making a living making ar15's so I would rather not overspend on the tool but I do need to be able to service my own guns.
Advice?
