This 3 Prong Flash Hider Socket is modeled after the steel AAC Blackout Flash Hider Installation Tool seen HERE, with the additional benefit of being compatible with any 1/2" square drive handle. It also maintains a constant cross-section for fitting more flash hiders and flash hider front caps.
NOTE: THIS SOCKET WILL WITHSTAND THE TECHNICAL DATA PACKAGE VALUE OF TORQUE REQUIRED FOR INSTALLATION OF MUZZLE DEVICES, BUT WILL NOT LIKELY WITHSTAND THE TORQUE THAT IS REQUIRED TO REMOVE A MUZZLE DEVICE THAT HAS BEEN INSTALLED WITH ROCKSETT OR OTHER THREADLOCKING COMPOUNDS. THE PURPOSE OF THIS SOCKET IS TO INSTALL A MUZZLE DEVICE WITHOUT FINISH DAMAGE. WE RECOMMEND USING A METAL TOOL FOR MUZZLE DEVICE REMOVAL.
Works with the following 3-prong brake/flash hiders:
‐ AAC
- Dead Air
- Rugged
- SilencerCo (A dedicated new model for the 5.56mm Silencerco 3-prong flash hider is available HERE and a dedicated version for the 7.62mm Silencerco 3-prong flash hider is available HERE).
- Knight's Armament
- FN
- Surefire 5.56mm 3 Prong (not the 7.62mm version - click HERE for our Surefire 7.62mm 3 Prong Socket)
Also works with the following flash hider front caps:
- Dead Air 5.56mm Flash Hider Front Cap (but not the 7.62mm version)
- Rugged Rifle 5.56mm Flash Hider Front Cap
- Rugged Rifle 7.62mm Flash Hider Front Cap
- Shrimp Gang Starfish
Note: Does NOT work with the SOLGW NOX Flash Hider. However we have developed a socket for that, which can be found HERE.
Like any of the products we develop, it has a lifetime warranty.

Since we believe in continuous improvement and taking things to the next level, we have developed a socket set that incorporates all of the features of our full-size wrenches but with important differences. A lot of time and thought went into these:
1. The sockets are smaller than the discontinued full-size wrenches and use a ½” square drive handle, which is available at hardware stores, plus we have our own compact and lightweight handle.
2. Sockets can also be used without a handle, but the option is there for applying serious torque.
3. Sockets are MADE IN THE USA using chopped carbon fiber reinforced nylon, which is considerably stronger than typical 3D printed polymers.
4. These polymer tools won’t damage mounts or front caps.
5. Stainless steel dowel pins are used on sockets that require them for certain spanner features.
6. Each one of the sockets has dedicated holes for parachute cord lanyards (AKA dummy cords).
7. The sockets can be conveniently stored on storage strips that are available at hardware stores. Detents are on all four sides of the ½” squares.
8. The numbering system with suppressor make/model key eliminates the need to update tool identification markings as suppressor names evolve or as compatibility expands (Kraken/Mod9, Octane/Octane 2.0, Omega 9K/45K, Sandman/Nomad, etc.). Only our list needs to be updated, which will be on our website (suppressortools.com).
9. The web address is on the bottom of each socket and on the top of the handle, minimizing the brand footprint. Some potential customers complained that the company name and city were on the full-size wrenches, so the identification markings were minimized. A customer can have additional text laser engraved if desired.
10. Sockets are capable of withstanding serious torque, which makes them perfect for use with Energetic Armament Vox Blox soft vise jaws, which are available at suppressortools.com.
11. If you break one, we will replace it - but that’s not likely to happen.
12. Suppressors should be allowed to cool below 200̊ F before using the sockets.
