Reddit Review:
[Review][Positive] https://www.artakedowntool.com/ - Does exactly what I bought it for
This tool showed up on gundeals and had some back and forth in the comments. Someone linked a hinge tool that does at least what one end of this tool does. For me, it didn't have the brass tips, didn't have both size pins to use and wasn't a reddit friendy small business I could support so I gave it a closer look.

I ended up watching a video someone linked to a Brownell's review that showed them punching out front sight post tapered pins without a BFH and a punch sliding around. I thought to myself.... self, if this punches out tapered pins, and only punches out tapered pins.... I'm in.
Arrived today (3 days after I ordered it - nice) and I've spent about 2 hours fiddling with it on my bench. Here's what I've used it for, which is what I bought it for, and how it's performed.
1. Remove tapered pins on FSB. - Bought a used stag barrel on GAFS so I could try to fit a FSP hacked free floating hand guard on it. Tried to use this tool to punch out taper pins. I've done this before with my FSP block, a BFH and a punch. It always slides around on me and it's a pain. Six snaps of this pin pusher and it was out. I was pretty surprised. It does this for sure. I hate punching these out an irrational amount, so this was big for me.
2. My LMT is tight AF and pulling the takedown pins suck on the range. Hell, it sucks on the bench. Pops them out, no problem. Didn't make a mark on my green LMT with the brass tips.
Things I didn't buy it for but tried.
1. Push out trigger pins. Easy. This isn't hard anyway, but taking one tool to the range is nice.
2. Line up hammer for hammer pin. Again, not hard, but I don't have to dig for the punch that fits in my hammer to get it lined up.
I'm very happy with this as a tool to use on the bench and I'll be taking along to the range as well. If you do a lot of work on rifles (especially troubleshooting where you pull the FSP) it's way better than hammer and punch. I own a Phil Gramm level of AR-15s (if you're old this will make sense) so this is going to be great for me. And.... they put some swag in the bag which is always cool!
