I got my lower and part kit and I'd like to assemble it soon...

Can I substitute any of these tools with something from a local hardware store.. lowes/HD/etc?

1) Bolt catch pin punch
2) #3 roll pin holder/punch
3) #4 roll pin holder/punch
4) pivot pin installation tool
 
A 1/4" clevis pin from the local hardware store works great for a pivot pin detent tool.
 
I do not believe you need a detent pin tool.

If you use you an exacto blade and just push the spring and pin down with it, you can slide the takedown pin over it and just pull the exacto out.

It takes me 5 min and no special tools.
