Did a CSC search as best I could, but didn't find anything already posted.

Looking for advice on top quality AR build tools.

Add a good 1/2" Drive Torque Wrench and you're set....assuming you already have a hammer and good set of standard and roll pin punches.

ProMag vise block set

I use the mag block the most and its held up well, even when tightening buffer tube nuts on multiple lowers

I also have the ProMag Vise set and it works very well. Its my preferred set up for standard receivers, however it doesnt work with some others like Billet receivers or those that don't follow the standard shape.

I have some pretty good tools and blocks that have served me well for a crap ton of builds. You are more than welcome to borrow them Snal.

Also the anti seize spark plug grease that you find in any local auto parts store works as good if not better than anything else.
