This:
Geissele Reaction Rod AR-15 Action Wrench Steel
http://www.midwayusa.com/product/444133/...cm_vc=U112
I've had all the others, this beats them all in my opinion. It also works with billet uppers which none of the clamp type do (as far as I know.) Clamping the tool in a vice(use aluminum pads on the vice) makes it fool proof, slide the receiver over the tool, and torque away. It's expensive, but really worth it if you plan to build more than one ar, and you probably will when your friends see your rifle.
The Brownells version is much less expensive but its designed to work differently, no experience with it. Maybe someone who has one can chime in.
