Handy tool, makes the job easier (15/09/2009)

Handy tool for removing the channel liner. Simple design and simple function. However, it ruins the old one and it must be replaced with a new one every time. Better than digging it out with a screwdriver or other improvised tool.

Excellent channel liner tool! (01/01/2018)

Excellent quality and precision made with an exact fit. This works great for installing and removing the liner. Most other tools just install the liner...to remove the liner, you would need a lag bolt or some other tool which could scratch or damage the slide.

Slick Tool (07/03/2018)

This is a brilliantly designed, easy-to-use tool, but the designer made one bad assumption about removing the channel liner. He/she assumed that the channel liner would be intact. In all fairness, so would have I. However, if a sufficient portion of the channel liner is missing, then the tool "bottoms out" without making contact with the liner. The threaded portion of the tool should be extended all the way up to as close to the crosspin as possible; it doesn't even have to be threaded the entire way, just made the same diameter as the firing pin channel.

The second "flaw" (for lack of a better word) is that when installing the channel liner, if you want to tap on the tool you'll be making direct contact with the threads on the removal side of the tool. There could have been a striking surface manufactured into the tip of the threaded portion for that purpose. Use a leather mallet or similar and take care to protect the threads, because it's the leading threads--the ones you're pounding on--that dig into the channel liner for removal.

Now with all that said, this is a really slick tool, and as I already said, brilliantly designed. That is evident by the wing nut & non-marring plastic washer that is used to initially dislodge the channel liner, and the crosspin to give you a good yanking grip. It's kind of a shame that it only has one specific use (and something you'll do rarely at that, unless maybe you're a professional refinisher), but it is THE right tool for the job.

No design flaw after all (08/03/2018)

I would like to rescind my earlier review of this product. It turns out that the reason the tool was bottoming out is because there wasn't any channel liner installed in the slide at all. I assumed there was because I couldn't get the new channel liner installed, as if it was being blocked by something. The slide is at fault here, not the tool (by the way, it's a 3rd-party slide, not OEM). So the only design flaw this tool has is that you have to tap on the threads in order to install the channel liner. It's a real simple tool to use, and it works well. By the way, another reviewer complained that the tool damaged the channel liner when removing it. There's only two reasons (that I can think of) why you'd ever want to remove the channel liner. First, it's damaged and needs to be replaced. In that case, what does it matter if the tool damages an already-damaged channel liner? Second, you're refinishing the slide and the liner has to be removed before doing so. If you're investing all the time and expense to refinish a gun--assuming it's a real finish and not spray paint :-)--I think you can afford an extra three-and-a-half bucks or less for a new channel liner. It's just a part of the total refinishing cost.
