wheeler action wrench for axis barrel work

Is the wheeler action wrench(for 110's) an option for securing the Axis action when removing the barrel?

Thanks for any input.

Yep, that's what I used on all of my Axis projects to date. Though I usually keep my Wheeler #2 in the jaws of my vise, I have used it freehand on my kitchen counter.

a rear entry tool (Davidson I think) works better and quicker for me
I have both

Is this what you're talking about?

I will say the reason I like the action wrench is that, once the new barrel is headspaced, I can apply some extra torque to the wrench's bolts to lock the receiver and barrel together as I tighten the barrel nut.
