I liked the wrench from the moment I took it out of the bag. It's hefty and very nicely finished with powder coating in a granite look.
The teeth on the barrel nut side of the wrench are well formed and fit my barrel nuts perfectly (had one to tighten and one to take off.
I had no trouble using the stock castle nut part of the wrench either loosening or tightening castle nuts. I would not expect this tool to remove a staked castle nut. One with more teeth _might_.
The flash suppressor notch fit mine perfectly and allowed me to remove the A2 suppressor and install a new brake.
The 1/2" hole fits my pull handle and my torque wrenches perfectly and allowed me to both remove the old barrel nut and install a new one properly torqued.
Would I buy this tool again? Yes! (if somehow this one went missing, ;o) ) Would I recommend this tool? Yes!

After 2 years of using this tool i have really become fond of it. I wrote a poor review initially and came back to make it right. I recommend this product.

Quality looking tool, although....

I use my DPMS tool mainly for taking off barrels. I originally purchased it to take off and re-install my Colt CAR stock. I was disappointed because the small "tooth" that engages the receiver extension / buffer tube nut distorted when I tightened it down and I could no longer get a good "bite" down on the notch. I will probably just purchase the simpler , dedicated CAR stock wrench.

I was very impressed with the DPMS armorers tool. It is nicely powder coated and is rather heavy. I was able to use it to complete a lower receiver assembly. The powder coating was nice as it did not leave any marks.
