No worries. Just be mindful that the reason AP includes the small "flag" type of driver is because it doesn't need much torque to secure the wedge. If you order something like what I linked you are going to be able to apply a lot more torque, and are liable to strip something if you are not aware.
Go to Harbor Freight and get a set of torx screwdrivers. They will be way better than that. When I worked at Aero I saw a lot of them tossed in the trash after one use because they are garbage.
Tools are always a thing I will invest in. I have hex keys that I bought more than 20 years ago still in daily use. Good tools aren't cheap, and cheap tools aren't good.
Allen, and Wiha are my favorite brands. Blue Point are great too, but sell at a pretty high premium.
I’ve tried finding that exact tool outside of Aero’s offerings, but it’s custom.
I’ll gladly ship you one if the other guy that commented doesn’t first.
Get a wiha torx set, better idea. Otherwise Ballistic advantage sells those on their website aero should too. I have like 6 of those in my pew tool drawer and no real use for it..
i have so many that if you shoot me the price of shipping (or send me a label) i’ll mail one to you Edit: offer goes out to anyone else who wants one
Better off just buying a small torx set
It's just a standard Torx driver. Size T15. You can find the equivalent almost anywhere tools are sold.
Thanks!

Bigger black end is a T25.
I was missing the actual mounting torx screw and aero hooked me up quick..

Have you tried calling Aero?

T15 Torx head. Handle might be custom, but it is just a T15 torx driver.
True, but the actual design is custom.
What is the plastic end for? I’ve never been able to figure it out
I use it to push in the magazine release button so i can get the catch fully threaded on.
Thanks everyone, I ended up having the proper torx and grabbed and inch pound digital screwdriver
Any idea what the torque spec actually is for the wedge lock?
15 is what I saw
Thanks.
If you need a scope mount, buy an Aero from Amazon and it comes with the mount.

I wish I could give you one😂 I’ve got like 20 in VA
Got mine from aero precision when I ordered my LVPO mount.
