gotcha, yeah definitley getting roll pin holders

when I was reading about assembly I remember them mentioning something about one pin with a spring that is a pain in the arse and can shoot out across the room.

is there a tool that will make that pin easier to install?

That's the front takedown pivot spring and detent. Forward to 3:58 in that video for a pretty easy way to not frick it up. I use that method, but I just push the detent in with my finger nail and hold it while sliding the allen wrench over it. Have never had the need to use the needlenose and pick as he does. I recommend setting up a grocery bag, pillow, or something in front of it though to catch the detent in case it does fly out.

Go to home depot or lowes and get a 1/4" clevis pin with holes in it. I have pics and details on how to install it here.
