cheap junk mine broke after a couple tim

Garbage,the pin that slides in from the bottom after a couple uses breaks off,it is used to push out the extractor when you place bolt in top and you push down on a counter,I did not even get that far before mine broke I used it about 4 times and loaded my M-14 bolt in it to assemble it and the stupid plunger pin that comes up from the bottom broke and came rolling out,I looked at it and its made of cheap cast pot metal ,Dont waste your $59.00 on this tool,Take your wife out to eat,You will get better results with that.

Not thrilled

The plunger pin shattered the first time I used it, scattering parts across the room. Fortunately a pin punch fit the hole so I could continue to work, Also, my M1A bolt was a VERY sloppy fit in the tool, causing all kinds of trouble upon reassembly. Dicey instructions that really need to make mention of the need to carefully adjust the small allen screw to your particular bolt. Not happy at all.

waste of money in my opinion

nothing lines up!! does not work as advertised. ejector pin does not line up with 4-40 cap screw on reassembly, extractor pin punch did not line up to dissasemble extractor why so much play of bolt in fixture

Does not work, bolt pops out of place!

Very difficult to use, bolt will not stay in place, terrible to adjustment. Not recommended!
