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
Convenient
It is a useful tool and I'm able to remove my rebound spring much easier.

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!
This tool saved a lot of time.

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.
