Anybody have any experience with this? And is it worth the 60$?
They are discussed in this thread, similar product from Brownells
Thx I’ll check it out, tried searching with no avail.
What was the final consensus on these types of tools? Some folks said it would loosen the barrel extension and others said it would not.
That looks like it would work to me… Ron
The Geissele reaction rod is awesome to say the least. Like everything else they do, it is EXTREMELY well made.
We use it in our shop everyday and also sell them: http://www.gandrtactical.com/cgi-bin/commerce.cgi?preadd=action&key=REACT

Thanks for the feedback Grant. Can it also be used for flash hider removal & installs?
Sure can. Anything that involves the barrel (Rail install, FH, etc).

Nice. Order inbound
I might need one of those for working on homo guns with no real FSB. 
Your a ‘crazy’ man Markm…:haha:
Grant, thank you for the response. I will be ordering one from you soon, a long with a noveske NSR 9.

You are welcome.

we had one mounted vertically at my last shop. it was great, handguards off, upper over the rod, big wrench on the barrel nut and spin. it makes short work of barrel changes when you have a few hundred to do. it only takes a few minutes to change a barrel in and out of soft jaws or a receiver vice but 10 minutes a gun for 100 guns is a lot of wasted time.
Ordered, thanks.
edit: Just thought about this a little more. Since a standard bolt will fit in an KAC E3 extension, this should work with an E3 as well, correct?
CATM @Lackland?
So, why is it in that other thread that Skullworks and mk18pilot are so dead set against this tool? What are the downsides? The tool makes perfect sense to me, what am I missing?
Not sure, but I’ll take Grant’s word on it and Giesselle’s reputation any day.
You came around to red dots, and rail systems. We’ll get you warmed up to real rails like URX, or Gieselle some day. 
Whats a FSB? :haha:
