Too soft of material

Wears out very fast if you have a tight fitting bushing, this won't last long at all. Material is very soft and won't mar the gun but won't last long at all. On the first use, lots of mat'l chipped away from the tool. I imagine after about three uses it would be junk. Also, so soft that it flexes so much that you can hardly hold the spring plug down enough to turn the bushing enough to lock back in place but it doesn't scratch your weapon at all. I have now got the brownells enhanced bushing wrench with the flange that retains the recoil spring plug as you twist the bushing free, Great tool and won't scratch your weapon as it is made of aluminum. Well worth the extra money, remember you get what you pay for.

Good For The Price

Does what it says and doesn't mar the finish on the gun. Only drawback is the plastic is a bit on the soft side so it wears out pretty quick. Works great but wish it would last a bit longer.
