only 2 bits I occasionally use

I only use the grip screw drive tip and the tip to punch out the MSH pin. This driver tip is really fit on the 1911 grip screws so one does not mar the slots. It's good to have. I even ordered other magnatips and use this driver base for my other pistol gunsmithings.
