Roll Pin Holder(20.01.2011)
these are the best way to get those roll pins started
Broke during first use.(20.12.2012)
I am not especially pleased with this roll pin holder. I used it one time on an AR build and the holder broke. A great idea but perhaps the metal in my holder was too soft.
Great tools for all gun work w/roll pins(13.06.2013)
These are terrific for building or repairing guns, whether an AR or a SIG pistol. Saves having to have a third hand grafted on my arm!
The possible limitation (as one buyer found out) is that these are intended for "starting" the pins, and not for completely driving them in. While I've not had any problems, I can see where attempting to drive them completely in with these holders may break the holder, since A) they weren't designed to do that, and B) the "sleeve" of the holder isn't as robust as the punch and handle parts, nor does it need to be. These are perfect for their intended use, and the fellow who broke one might want to consider that Brownell's has another "holder" type punch which is (simply put) a steel rod with the specific diamter hole in the end, to the depth of 1/4" or so, which can be used to drive the pin further.
Another excellent Brownell's tool which, when used properly, not only does the job but fills a niche for those who do a lot of gunsmithing or a little gunsmithing, but want the tools to do the job right and just as the pros do.
Cracked easily(10.10.2014)
The metal used on this is brittle and can break easily. Used just once in installing a roll pin on a Beretta AL391 carrier and it cracked. I was just trying to start the pin, didn't think I overdid it with force. I called Brownells and they have a 100% replacement policy on broken tools. They will be sending out another one. Thank you Brownells
Don't Build Without(25.02.2015)
This a great tool for starting the roll pin when building an AR. This size is probably the most versatile. I started with it and then and I bought the whole set. However, I will have to buy another size #3 because it broke at the tip. So, I would suggest buying multiple #3s, if you do a lot of builds. They are not cheap and not super sturdy, but necessary and cuts down on build mistakes.
Roll Pin Holder(04.04.2015)
This is a terrific tool for installing roll pins in AR lower receivers. It is perfect for the bolt catch roll pin. It will keep you from dinging the surface of your receiver. Unfortunate it is very brittle and has a tendency to break. That's why only 4 stars. I can get several builds before it breaks.
Without Hesitation!(23.03.2018)
I called to replace this pin holder since the walls cracked on me after I mistakenly used it as a punch. Since this piece is part of a complete set with holder that was a gift, I was calling to purchase a new one but didn't know which one I needed since it just has S3 on the side. Surprisingly enough, after I described the part to a tech support associate and explained that it was a gift, the gentlemen proceeded to tell me he would replace it for FREE!!!!!!! Before I even had time to comprehend what happened, I was transferred back to customer service where she confirmed that it would indeed be sent free of charge. It does NOT get better than that! Thanks again for everything, Brownells! As far as the tool goes, it works exactly as it should. That is if you don't use a pin holder as a punch. Hahaaa
Keep from fumbling with that roll pin(01.12.2012)
I installed a new gas block with folding front sight on my AR and this roll pin holder worked like a charm. One thing I have learned in my years of working on all things mechanical is to use the right tool for the job. It sure makes it a lot less of a hassle.
Like a second pair of hands(11.01.2013)
I've used all of the roll pin holders and the 1/16th size is a lifesaver. Installing tiny gas tube roll pins is so much easier now. The holders help with alignment and starting roll pins, then you can switch to a regular or roll pin punch to finish it off.
My new favorite AR-15 assembly tools(25.03.2013)
I just got these for my tool box, and used them on a friend's AR-15 lower build. With these and proper roll pin punches, there's no chance of scratching anything.
These things are great.
couldn't use it(25.08.2013)
Wasn't able to use it because roll pins fit very tightly, and wouldn't come out after starting into hole. That is, roll pins stuck in the holder and had to be pulled out with pliers. Eventually placed pin without it, a process that required 3 hands. May be able to lap the pin holder so that it'll turn loose.
Fantastic(03.10.2009)
This is the first product I've bought from Brownell and I'm very happy with the quality and workmanship that went into this roll pin holders. If you're going to do any kind of work on your AR, you'll need these.
Great Quality!(05.12.2009)
This roll pin holder set was very helpful for a buddy and I building our first Stripped AR15 lower. High quality tools, and built to take a beating (literally)! Although they may not be a complete necessity, they helped with pin alignment, and avoiding scratches to the lower from punch slip ups.
A Necessary tool -(08.01.2010)
I bought the 5 tool set, initially to work on delicate target rifle sights, and have found that the roll pin holders are definitely a necessity where roll pin installation is concerned. I have yet to break one, but I would also caution that the smaller diameters will bend if whacked too hard. Although they are specifically made for roll pins, I have used them to start solid pins as well. They are particularly useful in tight spaces and sure beat fumbling around trying to hold a pin with pliers or your fingers. Cuts down on aggravation and frustration :-)
Great Product(10.04.2010)
This is the perfect tool to get those little roll pins started without slipping and scratching the finish on your receiver. Just finished my first AR build and these were most definitely the right tool for the job. Would highly recommend for AR builds but I'm sure they come in handy for a lot of different firearms as well.
Have you ever said(11.04.2010)
If you have ever assembled a lower and had a punch slip or smack your finger. Then you need this set. It is very nice to have. You only need it to start a pin, but it is very very nice. It will keep you from damaging you rifles. These are very durable.
Outstanding product(11.04.2010)
quality and function are perfect.
quality and function are perfect(11.04.2010)
outstanding quality and flawless function
Work Great(14.08.2011)
Simple to use and work great.
Excellent Quality, Life Savers!!!(07.11.2011)
I ordered this set of Roll Pin Holders specifically to review for my fellow firearm enthusiasts. What have I been missing out on!? I continually work and tinker on all of my own firearms and I can tell you I wish I would have bought these a long time ago.
For anyone who has ever built and AR-15 or had to use roll pins in general, you know what a pain in the butt it can be getting those little guys started. I have used everything from tweazers to needle nose pliers to try and get them going. Not anymore! These roll pin holders are worth their weight in gold!
There are five (5) in the set ranging in different sizes, depending on the size roll pins you plan to use. All you have to do is to simply insert the roll pin into the end of the holder, place the roll pin at the hole and lightly tap the end of the holder with a small hammer (I recommend a brass/nylon hammer).
This will partially seat your roll pin and you can now fully seat it the rest of the way with a standard or roll pin punch. Easy as pie. For AR-15 Builders or for those that are tired of fooling around with roll pins, this set is a MUST HAVE! I would definately recommend to my friends!!!
A Gotta-Have for AR builders(10.12.2011)
Having built two AR lowers without this set, and marred the receivers with mis-hits while driving in the roll pins, this set of tools is a must-have for AR building. Solves that 'third hand' requirement and will allow installation of pins in a clean, mar-free fashion.
One word... AWSOME!(14.12.2011)
Over the years I have had to use more then one roll pin due to slipping, and missing the angle. We all know how hard it is to keep a roll pin punch on the pin and try to hammer it in... this set gives you the 3rd hand you wished you had all those times! HIGHLY recomended and well worth the investment. Hammer it all the way down to just above the metal, then go to the pin punch... you will not regret it!
Very Useful Set(22.12.2011)
Just finished upgrading my BCM. These worked great! They hold the pin solid and start it nicely allowing the roll pin punch to finish seating the pin. Glad I have them.
Worth the money(29.02.2012)
After fumbling with roll pins and trying to start too many of them with a flat punch, I purchased this set. In using them, I must say that I am completely satisfied with my purchase. They work great.
Five Stars Easy(09.04.2012)
After struggling to install small roll pins without these holders, these are a blessing. I had the worst time installing AR15 forward assist roll pins using my tools on hand including centering punches, regular punches, and padded pliers. I got it done, but scuffed two uppers in the process. These roll pin holders, along with the Brownells roll pin punches made such fast and nice work of the job that it was almost anti-climactic. I wanted some more roll pins to install so that I could exercise these beauties. If you need to install roll pins, get a set of these and you wont be disappointed.
Nice Quality tool(24.04.2012)
After trying other roll pin holders from one of those large dept stores( thinking they should have good Quailty tools) boy was I wrong , these pin holders by Brownells are by far the best I've ever used....
Not good(24.06.2012)
I used the smallest holder for a roll pin on a ambidex. selector switch. The roll pin went all the way into the shaft of the holder. Never bottomed out. Now, I have lost the roll pin, and the holder is useless too. What kind of engineer made the hole over 1/4" deep for the smallest roll pin?
Well woth the money(25.07.2012)
Great time saving tools
A must have for AR 15 lower builds(15.09.2012)
I completed my first AR 15 lower build today using my set of Brownells roll pin holders. The bolt catch and trigger guard was very easy to start the roll pins. No slips or scratches,
very easy to use(23.09.2012)
Very easy to use on an AR rear sight elev spring roll pin
Great Tools(25.09.2012)
I did not buy the entire set but rather the necessary ones to complete a lower build (1,3,4). I have to say these were great and easy to use. When I was done, there were not one scratch from a slipped punch. If your building an upper or lower, you can not do it without at least these.
Great product!(21.01.2013)
Well made, and they work great. I bought these for building an AR-15 rifle and I'm very pleased with the purchase.
BUY THIS SET(04.05.2013)
Easiest way to assemble a rifle/ handgun. Makes starting roll pins a lot easier, which in turn, makes my day easier.
Must have tool for gun work(26.05.2013)
i finished my first AR build this past week and i must say these roll pin holders (although i only used a couple) are a must have tool for your toolbox!
i assembled my AR and didnt put a single scratch on the entire build! they worked fantastic!
the knurled handles are easy to grip and the roll pin sinks inside the tube about 3/16" and is held firmly.
i was going to turn around and sell them after i completed this rifle as i doubt i will build another gun but no way are these gems leaving my work bench, ever!
Broke on first use(30.05.2013)
The S3 holder broke on the very first usage. Sent a message to Brownells and never got a response.
worked and worked well(10.06.2013)
glad i bought this product and a set of roll pin punches from brownells, shipping was fast and the products i recieved did the job and made it much easier
Great quality, and awesome customer serv(17.07.2013)
I'm an armourer, building and fixing AR's year round. I decided to buy my own set, but one broke the first time I used it. I waited a couple of days to collect my thoughts on how I was going to word my email to customer service. I didn't need to, I told them it broke and two days later I get a return email apologizing for the tool failure and a tracking number of a new one in the mail at no cost. Some items may be more expensive, but I no longer care, Brownell's has a life long customer in me now!
Wish I had gotten these sooner!(03.12.2013)
These are high quality tools that make installation of roll pins much more simple. I was hesitant to buy these because they are fairly expensive but I now realize that good tools make any job easier and I am glad I made this purchase. Great for starting roll pins!
roll pin holders(18.01.2014)
These are great for starting roll pins. I used a couple today and it made the job of starting roll pins simple.
I can't yet speak for durability, as I haven't used them for a long time nor abused them, but I'm glad I bought them.
Glad I bought these roll pin holders.(29.01.2014)
I had some roll pin punches for several years. Brownells tools are wonderful quality. I finally completed my set with these and the starter punches.
All I can say is, Wow, I wish I hadn't waited. They are all really nice. This place is a top notch gunsmith tool supplier.
Great set of punches(13.03.2014)
I have had this set for more than 2 years, and have found it has made tons of jobs so much simpler. Perfect for replacing the small pin on the AR gas tube. I gave four stars because i wish there were a few more sizes. These have definately helped me be more eficient in my Small Arms Shop. Thanks
Pin Holder Set(26.08.2014)
Bought these for my AR builds. Built a lower within hours of taking these out of the box. Worked just as required. Just have to be carefult not to let the side of the punch or your hammer mar your gun, but thats true of any tool.
Great kit(24.05.2015)
Very durable. Installed 10 roll pins so far and no visible bending in the punches or marring on my rifles. Mostly all used on AR builds. I've put them through quite a bit of work since I got them two weeks ago. Very nice tools to have have when installing a trigger guard and gas system. I used plain punches on roll pins and they were damaged/smushed every time even with a brass hammer. With these holders you can easily start the pins, then move on to a roll pin punch or starter punch. Very impressed so far.
Work great(20.08.2019)
Wish I had bought these a long time ago. I have mushroomed the end of many roll pins and this helped a lot.
Handy to have.(02.04.2020)
These roll pin holder punches are like having a third hand. They make it very easy to start a pin into it's hole.

I used the smallest holder for a roll pin on a ambidex. selector switch. The roll pin went all the way into the shaft of the holder. Never bottomed out. Now, I have lost the roll pin, and the holder is useless too. What kind of engineer made the hole over 1/4" deep for the smallest roll pin?
Well woth the money(25.07.2012)
Great time saving tools
A must have for AR 15 lower builds(15.09.2012)
I completed my first AR 15 lower build today using my set of Brownells roll pin holders. The bolt catch and trigger guard was very easy to start the roll pins. No slips or scratches,
very easy to use(23.09.2012)
Very easy to use on an AR rear sight elev spring roll pin
Great Tools(25.09.2012)
I did not buy the entire set but rather the necessary ones to complete a lower build (1,3,4). I have to say these were great and easy to use. When I was done, there were not one scratch from a slipped punch. If your building an upper or lower, you can not do it without at least these.
Great product!(21.01.2013)
Well made, and they work great. I bought these for building an AR-15 rifle and I'm very pleased with the purchase.
BUY THIS SET(04.05.2013)
Easiest way to assemble a rifle/ handgun. Makes starting roll pins a lot easier, which in turn, makes my day easier.
Must have tool for gun work(26.05.2013)
i finished my first AR build this past week and i must say these roll pin holders (although i only used a couple) are a must have tool for your toolbox!
i assembled my AR and didnt put a single scratch on the entire build! they worked fantastic!
the knurled handles are easy to grip and the roll pin sinks inside the tube about 3/16" and is held firmly.
i was going to turn around and sell them after i completed this rifle as i doubt i will build another gun but no way are these gems leaving my work bench, ever!
Broke on first use(30.05.2013)
The S3 holder broke on the very first usage. Sent a message to Brownells and never got a response.
worked and worked well(10.06.2013)
glad i bought this product and a set of roll pin punches from brownells, shipping was fast and the products i recieved did the job and made it much easier
Great quality, and awesome customer serv(17.07.2013)
I'm an armourer, building and fixing AR's year round. I decided to buy my own set, but one broke the first time I used it. I waited a couple of days to collect my thoughts on how I was going to word my email to customer service. I didn't need to, I told them it broke and two days later I get a return email apologizing for the tool failure and a tracking number of a new one in the mail at no cost. Some items may be more expensive, but I no longer care, Brownell's has a life long customer in me now!
Wish I had gotten these sooner!(03.12.2013)
These are high quality tools that make installation of roll pins much more simple. I was hesitant to buy these because they are fairly expensive but I now realize that good tools make any job easier and I am glad I made this purchase. Great for starting roll pins!
roll pin holders(18.01.2014)
These are great for starting roll pins. I used a couple today and it made the job of starting roll pins simple.
I can't yet speak for durability, as I haven't used them for a long time nor abused them, but I'm glad I bought them.
Glad I bought these roll pin holders.(29.01.2014)
I had some roll pin punches for several years. Brownells tools are wonderful quality. I finally completed my set with these and the starter punches.
All I can say is, Wow, I wish I hadn't waited. They are all really nice. This place is a top notch gunsmith tool supplier.
Great set of punches(13.03.2014)
I have had this set for more than 2 years, and have found it has made tons of jobs so much simpler. Perfect for replacing the small pin on the AR gas tube. I gave four stars because i wish there were a few more sizes. These have definately helped me be more eficient in my Small Arms Shop. Thanks
Pin Holder Set(26.08.2014)
Bought these for my AR builds. Built a lower within hours of taking these out of the box. Worked just as required. Just have to be carefult not to let the side of the punch or your hammer mar your gun, but thats true of any tool.
Great kit(24.05.2015)
Very durable. Installed 10 roll pins so far and no visible bending in the punches or marring on my rifles. Mostly all used on AR builds. I've put them through quite a bit of work since I got them two weeks ago. Very nice tools to have have when installing a trigger guard and gas system. I used plain punches on roll pins and they were damaged/smushed every time even with a brass hammer. With these holders you can easily start the pins, then move on to a roll pin punch or starter punch. Very impressed so far.
Work great(20.08.2019)
Wish I had bought these a long time ago. I have mushroomed the end of many roll pins and this helped a lot.
Handy to have.(02.04.2020)
These roll pin holder punches are like having a third hand. They make it very easy to start a pin into it's hole.
