Various features of the Pistol Pal makes opening the takedown latch a snap, serve as a punch to drive out tight stubborn bolt stops and also has a self-contained tool for removing that pesky extractor! It even serves as a magazine loading assistant on MKIII™ magazines.

The body/punch is CNC machined from rugged, non-marring Delrin which is already used for many firearm applications today. The latch pull loop is heavy duty, braided stainless steel wire. Both the loop and tempered steel extractor tool are affixed to an Aluminum cap that screws into the top of the tool.

very useful tool

This was a HUGE help in disassembling my Ruger Mk3 22/45 to install a TK improved firing pin and TK extractor. Can't imagine using a paper clip to open the takedown lever and the plastic part of the tool works great for pushing out the bolt retaining pin (mine was rather a tight fit).

This is an indispensable tool for the Ruger pistol; especially in order to remove and replace the extractor.

Useful tool for Ruger .22 pistol

Posted by Everett Thornton on 30th Jun 2021

Great little multitool for breakdown of my Ruger Mark III. The stainless wire loop makes removing main spring assembly a snap and the built-in pin is indespensible for removing the ejector. Tandemkross price and service were excellent.

I have known of this tool for a long time. But, just bought the tool and very glad I did. I have 6 Ruger MK IIIs and IVs. The tool can do many things and is very helpful when servicing my Rugers. I would recommend to others do not wait like I did. You will be glad you bought it. Tom

Great tool. Makes disassemble/reassemble of the extractor quick and easy. About 10 min total. Before it took me a few hours to do it

Gunsmither Pistol Pal tool for Mark IV 22/45 Lite

Posted by Bruce on 10th May 2021

The Gunsmither Pistol Pal tool is essential in removing the ejector in a Mark IV 22/45 Lite. It can be used to push back the plunger and spring, to allow removal of the extractor. And it is cheaper than buying a dental pick, for the same purpose. I was surprised at how strong the slender pin is..

This tool is a god sent for Ruger Mk 1,2,3 owners. I makes take down and magazine loading a breeze. Where has this miracle tool been all my days as a Ruger owner, since 1957?
