Been involved with gunsmithing in police work for over 34 years and one main necessity is having ANY tool that makes your work easier and faster. This 1911 bushing tool is simply one such tool. It makes the disassembly and re-assembly very easy, without effort, and without problems. Beyond gunsmithing though, anyone who owns a 1911 firearm needs this tool to enable them to quickly and effortlessly take down their firearm for cleaning and inspection. With the various problems that can and does arise while taking the firearms apart, this tool eliminates those issues totally. Therefore, for any gunsmith or 1911 owner, I would highly suggest your adding this tool to your needed tool collection.. Excellent product and thanks as well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It does what it says, and allows you to remove the barrel bushing without scratching up the slide. But, its made of a soft plastic and seems to easy get damaged (sliced up) by the hard metal busing part, so I am not sure how long it will last.

Good for target/competition level 1911s that have very snug fitting barrel bushings. Necessary for Wilson Combat, STI, NM or other similarly tight fitting slide assemblies. You have to tilt the gun to make the Smart Wrench totally engage the recoil spring plug to get it low enough so the bushing will rotate past and clear it. The finger grip rosettes cut into the outer ring are interesting, but I found it more useful to put it on the floor and push the 1911 straight down, letting friction hold the Smart Wrench. Besides, one less opportunity to point a gun at a body part, I'm in. In summation, useful for competition guns. If you have a standard 1911, it's only of value if your hands are impaired or you don't trust your abilities to control the spring tension. Wear safety glasses, either wayRead full review

This tool has a lot going for it from the unique design compared to other barrel bushing tools. My main criticism is that it is difficult to operate because it slips out of position when using it . Maybe with time and practice it can be mastered.

the real avid smart wrench is well made and easy to use. by using on a table you retain control of the process. no flying spring or plug. it comes out at your pace and parts are kept secure. it works fro both full size and commander/ small sizes it looks like it should last several lifetimes.
