Looking for AAC Squaredrop removal wrench

[PdxPanhandler]

Hey all.... I am looking for the small AAC Squaredrop removal wrench so I can remove an old Squaredrop handguard to replace with an M-Lok handguard. I can't seem locate the one that came with my handguard in my toolbox. It was a long time ago. Curious if anyone has one laying around that they aren't using that I could buy from them.

Looks like a pin spanner might work if you are not able to locate an AAC one.

I actually need to get the little nut on the bottom of the handguard off to release it. I imagine some needle nose pliers would work just to want to damage the nut. It looks like the attached photo

Yikes. Hard to tell from the pic, but would a modified box end wrench work?

Very frustrating when manufacturers do this. Hopefully someone on here has one you can use.

If I assume correctly, you're wanting the block of steel that has the square drive hole in one end.
That looks like a spanner wrench to me, just a small one.
But I'd be surprised if any generic tool store would have one. I don't' think I've ever seen a spanner wrench at Hobo Freight.

Thanks guys, I was able to find one from a buddy out of state who had one in his toolbox collecting dust.

You can use a small 5mm wrench as well. What length square drop did you have?
