TAPCO TAP22085 1911 Barrel Bushing Wrench - Steel Tool

The TAPCO TAP22085 1911 Barrel Bushing Wrench eliminates the frustration of field-stripping 1911 pistols with tight-fitting barrel bushings. This precision-machined tool provides the leverage needed to remove stubborn bushings without damaging the firearm's finish or components.

What Makes This Different

Unlike improvised tools or multi-purpose wrenches, the TAP22085 features purpose-built geometry specifically engineered for 1911 barrel bushings. The hardened steel construction resists wear and deformation under high torque loads. Standard pliers or adjustable wrenches can slip and mar the bushing's surface, while this dedicated tool maintains consistent contact and control throughout the removal process.

Key Features

• Precision-machined steel construction for maximum durability
• Purpose-designed geometry fits standard 1911 barrel bushings
• Knurled grip surfaces prevent slipping during use
• Compact 4-inch length fits in range bags and toolkits
• Compatible with Government, Commander, and Officer frame sizes
• Phosphate finish resists corrosion and wear
• Eliminates need for improvised removal methods

Field-stripping becomes a straightforward process with proper tooling. The wrench's leverage advantage reduces the force required at the shooter's fingers while increasing torque at the bushing interface. Competitive shooters performing frequent barrel cleanings benefit from the time savings and consistent results. The tool proves equally valuable for armorers servicing multiple 1911 platforms or home users maintaining personal firearms.
