I want to buy one of these to make checking head spacing easier. In my experience removing the tension or roll pin that holds the ejector and spring in place on an AR-15 bolt is a pain even with some rigging and an extra set of hands.
I've found a lot of tools online that all appear to do the same thing, depress the plunger and hold the bolt. But I saw a review on one of them that specifically said the bolt would twist inside the tool, making it difficult to hammer out the pin, while also miss-aligning the pin with the hole in the tool that the pin is meant to fall in to.
This tool, claims to hold the bolt securely, and all the reviewers say it does, but no one says how.

But by the looks of it, there is a slot, or channel, or grove, or whatever, that runs down the middle of the tool. Would that be for one of the bolt lugs to sit in to keep the bolt from twisting in the tool?
I'd really like a tool like this that will keep the bolt from twisting so I can easily remove the ejector.
Thanks
