Sweet, those Hammerhead tools are actually in stock now, they usually run out.

Just snagged a hammerhead, the journey begins...

I've never seen one of those Hammerheads, but I grabbed one. Looks like a great tool to have around.
Thanks for the suggestions everyone! (And for asking a great question SkyLine1)
Full disclosure: I am a freelance professional photographer/cinematographer for the firearms and defense industry, among others.
I would also suggest that you guys look at Ned Christiansen's site: www.m-guns.com
He makes several items that are great for AR builders, armorers, etc. His MOACKS is the heat for properly staking a gas carrier key. This is an operation that most of the lower tier "assemblers" do a sorry job of and it's so critical to making sure of gas system integrity. Also look at his NATO chamber gauge and chamber reamer. Most of the lower tier guns do NOT have a NATO chamber despite what they rollmarked on the barrel. The reamer makes sure.

On a side note about tools, the detent spring install tool for the detent pins is the cats meow!
The Hammerhead tool is very nice and provides a very solid purchase on the castle nut.
I really appreciate the SOLID tool advice from Mr. Dobbs and fellow P-F membership.
All I have to do now is decide what direction I want to go with the upper.
Part II once my decision and parts purchases are made.
