Tools for AR-15 maintenance are the difference between having a rifle and fully owning a rifle. Being able to maintain your firearms yourself is the next level of firearms ownership.
Keep Your Rifle Ready With The Right Tools For An AR-15
Wing Tactical provides a variety of maintenance and AR-15 tools. This helps ensure you are using a functioning firearm when you need it most. We provide armory-grade items that let you easily clean, maintain, and upgrade your rifle beyond basic field-stripping.
This can range from screwdriver sets and armorer’s wrenches to tools such as upper receiver rods and armorer’s blocks that require a vice. The basic tools for an AR-15 will go a long way toward safe and reliable use.
Armorer’s Wrench
An armorer’s wrench allows you to work on barrel nuts, castle nuts, and buffer tubes. As the name implies, these are the main tools for an AR-15 that go beyond basic cleaning and move into armorer-level repair.
Upper Receiver Rods
Upper receiver rods provide stability for barrel replacements and AR-15 maintenance. Complete teardowns are possible with a tool like this and a vice.
General AR-15 Tools
Not everything you need to maintain your rifle has to be dedicated to the platform. General tools like screw drivers, jigs, and universal blocks are great to have on hand for repairs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What tools do I need for an AR-15?
The AR-15 tools you’ll need for more advanced care are an armorer’s wrench, a receiver action rod, and a vice. These will do most of the work and can be augmented with basic tools like a screwdriver set.
Do I need an armorer's block?
An armorer's block makes removing and replacing pins easier, but it is not required for regular or advanced AR-15 maintenance.
What is an upper receiver rod?
An upper receiver rod is a tool used with a vice to remove and mount barrel nuts on AR platforms. It mimics the locking surfaces of a bolt carrier, keeping the barrel in place while the barrel nut is tightened or loosened.
