However, many users express concerns about the durability, noting that it wears out quickly, especially with tighter bushings.

Make sure it works on a 1911, before buy

Recently I purchased a 1911 45, used but great shape. It was enhanced by manufacture with some custom part, was totally useless. I had to do bushing removing old fashion GI thumb way, which worked fine.

Save your money, do not buy this wrench

I purchased 2 wrenches but found the tolerances are sloppy for a standard 1911 A1 recoil bushing. Trying to make it fit caused the wrench to slip and the recoil spring plug to go flying off the workbench. Cost to replace the plug plus freight about $16. Recommend to step up to the metal wrench.

Disappointed....

It worked splendidly a handful of times. After a couple of uses it starts to get seriously chewed up and malformed, leaving bits of orange plastic all down in the guide rod area of the gun. After about 10 uses it was so chewed up it would not successfully break down the gun.

Worked once....almost

I bought one of these for my Colt Officers ACP. The wrench plastic just deformed on the first use, didn't remove the bushing, and was useless from then on. The bushing is fairly snug on my .45 so maybe that's why it didn't work. Good idea but did not work for me. A waste of my [$] and not worth the cost of returning.
