I purchased this pivot pin install tool back in October using it about four or five times since. If you have ever lost a spring or detent, buy this tool along with your new lower parts kit.. If you have ever almost lost the spring or detent, buy this tool. If you have ever swore more than once installing the front pivot pin spring and detent, buy this tool. If you have ever had to work up the courage to install the front pivot spring and detent, buy this tool. After I bought this tool, used it once, I found that all the above just went away. Being a smarty pants (right?) and prior to getting this tool I had gone to the hardware store and bought a clevis pin (the one with all the holes in it) and after struggling with that on a build, I went a bought a pivot pin tool, kind of like an "L" shaped Allen wrench with holes in it very similar to the clevis pin. They both worked, but the real trick is you have to mate the end on the pivot pin tightly to the end on either pin tool and there is always an unavoidable gap between the two, because they are both kind of rounded at the ends, as you push your pivot pin past the detent/spring just waiting to jump out at you, or the far corner of your basement. If you slip you will experience one or more of the aforementioned possibilities! So, with all that said and I hope you found the humor in all this and buying this tool will definitely make you a much happier camper. It's simple, foolproof (for most) and quick! One quick TIP: When you put the pivot pin through this tool, keep the smooth part facing across the detent (in case you forgot something like having the spring and detent backwards) and then rotate the pivot pin until it clicks into the pivot pin groove for retention. This thing is so ingenious and think I'll buy a backup or maybe gift it to one of my fellow frustrated builders! For AR-10s/LR-308 builds, I guess you can always get a clevis pin 1/4 x 2 inch I think, or maybe this guy could make one for those? Happy building... Review: Made a frustrating task easy - I purchased this for a build and it worked great. I am not sure how well it would hold up if you are using it fairly regularly, but if you build out a couple of lowers a year, it should give you many years of use. ## Features - Great Product ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B078KSDGZ1 | | Best Sellers Rank | #163,621 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #912 in Gunsmithing Tools | | Brand | Real Avid | | Color | Red | | Compatible Groove Diameter | 0.19 Inches | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 4,480 Reviews | | Fastener Type | Pin | | Finish Type | Unfinished | | Finish Types | Unfinished | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00813119012501 | | Included Components | Product | | Item Dimensions | 8.74 x 4.65 x 1.18 inches | | Item Type Name | Holster | | Item Weight | 0.09 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Real Avid | | Material | Plastic | | Material Type | Plastic | | Model | AVAR15PPT | | Number Of Items | 1 | | Number of Pieces | 3 | | Part Number | AVAR15PPT | | Pin Type | Pivot | | Pin type | Pivot | | Screw Head Style | Straight | | Size | 4.65 inches (diameter only) | | Size Name | 4.65 inches (diameter only) | | Thread Size | 1/8 inch | | UPC | 813119012501 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | 2 Year Manufacturer | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Real Avid - **Included Components:** Product - **Manufacturer:** Real Avid - **UPC:** 813119012501 - **Global Trade Identification Number:** 00813119012501 ## Images ![Real AVID AR15 Pivot PIN Tool - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51j8ZyAqTdL.jpg) ![Real AVID AR15 Pivot PIN Tool - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Xshp9IevL.jpg) ![Real AVID AR15 Pivot PIN Tool - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71T3Yoh1edL.jpg) ![Real AVID AR15 Pivot PIN Tool - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71zL8Hrl0tL.jpg) ![Real AVID AR15 Pivot PIN Tool - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71W2bdGsbpL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Big Save on Headaches and Frustration *by G***. on April 11, 2020* I was looking through Amazon for something else and came across this tool again and clicked on the link to read the reviews and questions for grins.
