Stripped
Purchased both standard and slim tools to work on my RIA 1911. On inspection I could not tell any difference in depth of tools regarding standard and slim tools. Both tools mangled the bushings. Using only a small amount of pressure the tools kept slipping out of place and ruined the bushings. For the less mangled bushings a quality flat head screwdriver was used to successfully remove the bushing. For the really damaged bushing, patience and small set of vise grip pliers were used to remove the bushing. To be fair the metal on the bushings was easily bent but using the screwdriver did not cause anywhere near the damage the bushing tool did. The bushings required generous amounts of WD-40 before they could be removed. I could understand one bad piece but two?
