Do I need a tool kit to build an AR-15?

Yes. While you can assemble an AR-15 with basic tools, a dedicated AR-15 tool kit ensures you won’t damage parts during installation and will produce a safer, more reliable build.

Can I use these tools for other rifles like the AR-10?

Some tools, like punches and blocks, are universal, but most tool kits are optimized for the AR-15 platform. If you're working on an AR-10 or other rifles, check compatibility first.

What’s the difference between basic and professional AR-15 tool kits?

Basic kits typically include essentials like punches and a wrench, while pro kits feature torque wrenches, vise blocks, specialized drivers, and full cleaning setups for advanced builders and gunsmiths.
