DPW (Dual Purpose Wrench) is a dual purpose wrench that logically
combines two of the most often used AR15/M16 armorer tools in small and
light weight package, with a 3/4" wrench optimized for suppressor mounts
with 3/4 flats (also compatible with A2 spec 3/4" flats) on one end,
and a 3 lug castle nut wrench on the other.
Instead
of a large and heavy armorer's wrench that does all acceptably well but
in practice, most users only use 2 or 3 functions on it, we prefer
compact, dedicated wrenches optimized for the tasks they're designed to
handle exceptionally well. JCW (Joint Castle nut Wrench), JMW (Joint
Muzzle devices Wrench), CBW (Combination Barrel nut wrench) are all
examples of compact, light and finely machined tools.
DPW
largely follows the form factor of these dedicated wrenches, it breaks
from the FCD tools convention by having two different functions that
are not necessarily related to one another: a 3/4" muzzle devices
wrench, and a castle nut wrench, two of the often used functions of an
armorer's wrench.
The 3/4" muzzle devices
wrench is thinner than that found on an armorer's wrench, the thinner
profile enables it get into tight spaces. The 3 lug castle nut wrench
fits snug and securely on in spec, TDP spec castle nuts
DPW
is small and light enough to be carried full time in a pack, an
application a 12" long, 1.9lb armorer's wrench woud be ill suited for.
Though it wasn't originally designed to be a portable armorer's wrench,
its size, weight and practicality fit the mission profile.
.
DPW,
like JMW, JCW and CBW, is designed for use with a torque wrench with a
1/2 drive socket, with a soft contour that's pleasant in the user's
hands.
Machined from a solid block, heat treated and black oxide coated, DPW is a joint project between
Revival Defense and FCD.
