I have been buying AR15 & AR308 parts to put a couple of builds together. I have no aspirations to become a professional gunsmith, so I didn't think it was necessary to buy all top-of-the-line tools. I saw Wheeler sold in multiple stores and thought they would be good enough, so I picked up a hollow-ground screwdriver kit and roll pin punches.
My roll pin punches bent on the first use and one of the flathead screwdriver bits just snapped in half on me, with very little torque. I think I can stick with the Wheeler brass/nylon hammer, but I'm not buying any more Wheeler products and want to replace the screwdriver kit and punches.
What recommendations for punch and screwdriver sets would you have that would be good enough for a hobbyist AR assembler?
