S&W REBOUND SLIDE SPRING TOOL

S&W REBOUND SLIDE SPRING TOOL Reviews & Ratings

S&W REBOUND SLIDE SPRING TOOL


Specially bent and slotted tool is really about the only way to get past the frame pin to grab and compress the rebound slide spring while removing or installing the rebound slide. Fits all J, K, L, N and X frames. Will not scratch that valuable frame, pinch or bind.


NOTE:
This tool may not work with the Smith and Wesson Bodyguard series of revolvers


SPECS:
  • 6" (15.2cm) long
  • 1.015" (25.8cm) diameter.

Where have you been all my life!
The most amazing tool for the hardest part of a S&W trigger job! It prevents springs flying, having your eye put out, or impaling yourself.

Must have
Tried it many times with a small screwdriver or dental pick and it’s always a disaster. Once you get the hang of this it’s a no-brainer

Doesn't fit Aluminum Frame pin
Pin slot is too small for aluminum frame rebound spring pin. Brownell's gunsmith says tool is not designed for aluminum frame pin. Designed for stainless-steel frame pin. Most/Many S&W J-Frame guns have aluminum frames!!! Please specify what this tool fits!

Quality tool.
Looks and feels like a high-quality tool. I believe it is a must-have for replacing the rebound spring in my S&W 642, as well as thorough cleaning. I haven't used it yet. I am looking forward to using it. Maybe next week.
