The Wheeler AR-15 Delta Ring Tool (Wheeler Engineering part no. 209943) makes removing or installing a mil-spec AR-15 or M16 handguard a one-person job. A custom-formed wire loop wraps around the Delta Ring and compresses it with one hand, freeing your other hand to work the handguard free. A full vinyl coating keeps the tool from marring your firearm’s finish, and a welded steel bracket adds the durability needed to work through a stuck or damaged ring. It is a simple, purpose-built fix for one of the more frustrating steps in AR-platform maintenance.
