Overview

This bench tool is designed for gunsmiths and armorers who work on Colt handguns, especially when disassembly or refinishing calls for careful, controlled removal and reassembly of small parts. It combines a double-ended 1911 bushing wrench with a ratchet/ejector rod wrench, giving it a practical role for both Government model and Officer’s ACP pistols, as well as large-frame Colt revolvers. The hex opening is made to fit over the ratchet on large-frame Colts, including old and new Pythons, to help hold it while unscrewing from the ejector rod. For anyone maintaining Colt handguns in a shop setting, it is a purpose-built tool rather than a general-purpose substitute.

Considerations & Trade-offs

Designed for Colt-specific work, so it’s a specialized bench tool rather than a general-purpose handgun wrench.
The double-ended 1911 bushing wrench is sized for the Government Model and Officer’s ACP, so it may not cover other 1911-pattern variants.
The hex opening is described for large-frame Colt ratchets, which means its revolver use is limited to that specific application.
Its compact steel form is practical for the bench, but it is a simple hand tool rather than a multi-function armorer’s kit.
