Yes indeed they're nice, but in my case not needed.

Once you start small, add tools as you decide to build something new.

The Brownells kit has lots of stuff you don't need in it. That kit is great if you are an armorer traveling to another country. You don't need to spend $20 on a hand guard removal tool if you are only taking off one set of hand guards (may hurt the fingers a little but you deal with it).

You get the my idea. . .
Gotcha! That'll be something to spend close to $2000.00 and then find out I'm only using the punches?

Going to start off little by little and only what I need for my uses.

Thanks Guys!
