Doesn't fit

The openings are too small (short) to fit my Springfield Armory Inc. target model. Also, to material is too soft, it peels off if I force it onto the bushing. Not worth the money.

Doesn't mar your pistols.

This tool does what it says but is a little on the soft side for tight bushings. I tore mine up pretty good when fitting a Wilson Combat bushing into my wife's Colt Officers model 1911. The wilson bushing is very tight fitting(good, good,good) after fitting for accuracy. I've recently up graded to the aluminum version.

It works but has limits

The good thing about this plastic wrench is that it doesn't mar the finish, and of course, you probably won't misplace it. If you have a tight, accurized bushing, as I do, it won't last more than a few times before it gets chewed up. But for the price, buy a few of them.
