Repro tool FAILURE

Edward Tinker · 11-14-2003, 10:16 PM

So, the day when I went to gently take the grips off of my new luger, I opened my desk drawer and grabbed one of the loading tools I own, I had bought a couple of the cheap repro ones when I first started collecting seriously several years ago, and now I just collect real ones. But this is an example of WHY you should try to get real ones ONLY. I stuck the screwdriver into the grip screw and took off the left grip, the right grip was tight and the tool bent like a poor cheapo tool like it is!

If I hadn't been careful, it could have slipped and really screwed up my grip!!
