Real Avid, Tool, 1911 Smart Wrench, Rubber/Plastic Construction, Fits 1911 Barrel Bushing, Red & Grey Finish - SKU: AV1911SW - UPC: 813119011771
Product Description
The Real Avid 1911 Smart Wrench (AV1911SW) is an innovative, non-marring armorer tool engineered to simplify 1911 field stripping and barrel bushing removal. Designed to eliminate the hassle and safety hazards of flying recoil spring plugs, this dual-sided wrench captures the recoil plug during rotation, ensuring controlled disassembly and protecting your eyes and workspace.
Constructed with a rigid engineering-grade resin core surrounded by a molded rubberized outer ring, the AV1911SW provides maximum leverage while guaranteeing zero scratches, marring, or finish wear on custom steel or stainless steel 1911 slides. The dual-sided design features dedicated keyways on both faces: one side tailored for full-size Government 1911 models and the reverse side sized for compact Commander and Officer 1911 profiles.
Compact, ergonomic, and lightweight, the Real Avid Smart Wrench fits easily into any range bag or bench kit, making it an essential benchtop tool for 1911 owners, armorers, and custom gunsmiths.
*Armorer Bench Notes & Real-World Staging Guidance:
Fitment Matrix: Fits all standard 1911 barrel bushings across Government, Commander, and Officer pattern models.
- Verify host 1911 handgun is completely clear, magazine removed, and chamber visually and physically confirmed empty.
- Select the appropriate side of the Smart Wrench (Government or Officer) and align the keyway over the barrel bushing and recoil spring plug.
- Press down firmly on the Smart Wrench to depress the recoil spring plug while rotating the wrench clockwise to unlock the bushing.
- Maintain downward pressure as the internal cavity catches and holds the spring plug safely underneath the wrench body.
- Rotate the barrel bushing back to align with the slide assembly and proceed with standard 1911 field stripping.
