The Brownells Can't Mar™ 1911 Bushing Wrench is a must for every 1911 owner and gun shop. The double ended design removes even the tightest bushings on standard 1911 and officer models. It’s made from tough, virtually unbreakable ABS polymers. Unlike other synthetic wrenches, the Can't Mar™ Wrench has more thickness and heft. It easily carries in the pocket or a field kit.

Reviews Summary

The CAN'T MAR™ 1911 AUTO BUSHING WRENCH is well-received for its ability to prevent scratching on firearms and for its light weight. However, many users express concerns about the durability, noting that it wears out quickly, especially with tighter bushings. While it's affordable and handy for light use, those with high-use needs may prefer an aluminum alternative for better longevity.

Very Solid little wrench

Price is right for how often I will use it. And it is very handy on the 1911. Only downside is that it does not fit the Kimber 1911 tight. Not a big deal though. Still a handy tool.

Works fairly well

Works fairly well with my Springfield Marine Operator in that you have to jiggle the tool around the bushing to get it seated. Probably also pick up another one from a different company at some point but for now this one works. It is very durable though. Not cheap plastic that bends.

better than the metal one

buy many and place them in police cars, personal gear and work bench

Great tool

Fits both style of bushings. Can easily be reshaped for a custom bushing. Light weight, Strong. Mine has lasted for years. buying a new one cause the old one is among the missing!!!!

Good Bushing Wrench and will not damage!

It is a very good Bushing Wrench, as it will not mark up your 1911. I would strongly reccomend the purchasing of a few of them for working on or cleaning your 1911.

Great Finish Saver

This bushing wrench is a real finish saver.. after struggling with an SA Pro bushing, can't imagine what damage may have resulted without it. Although it does shed a little plastic and seems somewhat consumable.. it's well worth every penny compared to refinishing.

Good tool at a fair price

I like this plastic tool better than the Brownells steel Colt wrench because it is light and scratch proof. It does mar slightly because it is plastic. Unless you have super tight bushings, it works perfectly. If you have super tight bushings, you may need the aluminum bushing wrench.
