Bren carrying handle

[TactAdv]

For those not wanting too much of a hassle trying to find a good tool for removing the split-face nuts, I have found suitable replacement ones pretty easily in most good hardware stores. These are slotted tips for the common hex-bit handles; the special one shown is cataloged as a "spanner" tip. See picture. I use the 1/4" bit, #12 as shown.

You can deepen the slot to any length or width needed.
