Overview
This tool is made for removing the Crane Bushing from compatible Colt revolvers by reaching over the ejector rod and down into the cylinder without unnecessary damage to the part. It is suited to owners and gunsmiths working on models such as the Python, Trooper, Officers' Model, Official Police, Marshall, Cobra, Agent, Police Positive, Detective Special, and Pocket Positive. The hardened and drawn steel construction is paired with a compact body and short handle for controlled use during revolver maintenance. For careful disassembly work, it offers a purpose-built solution rather than a general-purpose shop tool.

- Designed specifically for Colt revolvers, so it is not a general-purpose cylinder tool for other platforms.
- Its use is limited to removing the Crane Bushing; it does not address broader revolver maintenance tasks.
- The compact tool body and handle may require careful, deliberate handling rather than fast, high-leverage use.
- Compatibility is listed for specific Colt models, so fit should be verified against the exact revolver before use.
