Takes time, patience, and practice

I'm mechanically inclined and this tool was really difficult to use the first time. The second time using it, the tool became slightly easier to use. I hope as time progresses, it will be easier to use( by the time I dissemble the bolt the next time)....but I doubt it. Only reason why I haven't returned it is because I'm from Canada. Great design though, and hoping I get better with it.

Works with some tinkering

I purchased this tool because I was having problems getting the Ejector plunger spring assy back in the bolt. I needed extra hands! What I ended up doing was: I used the tool to compress the extractor and get it and the firing pin lined up for the ejector pin to be installed. I inserted a pin punch to hold it. I used a plastic strap tie around the bolt and tool to ensure the bolt didn't rise off the tool. Then I used a C clamp from the front of the tool to the back of the bolt, and tightened it just a bit allowing for free movement of the ejector pin assy in and out. Now I have two free hands to install the ejector pin while compressing the plunger spring assy. Snapped right in. It's not perfect, but I couldn't have got by without it.
