Embarking on my first build so let the accumulation of fun new tools begin!

Barrel nut wrench: is the SSS worth the premium over the Wheeler? I am not going to mess with buying a smooth wrench, would rather replace the smooth nuts with notched ones anyway.

Barrel vise: what do you guys use? I am thinking hardwood blocks drilled out and in a big bench mount vise.

Action vise: thinking I don't need one...

Do you guys lubricate the barrel threads? I am running a chromoly barrel into a stainless action and all my experience in the past says use grease, ideally anti-seize in that situation.
