As I posted last month I need to replace the Plunger tube on my 1911. and since I know that I will always own at least one 1911, and more likely many. i'm contemplating going ahead and buying a staking tool instead of borrowing one.
Right now the only three I can seem to find are the EGW, Strobel, and Brownells, and I'd like the opinions of others regarding any or all three. Especially would like to know if the Brownells one is worth nearly twice as much.
At the current moment I'm leaning toward the Strobel, because is seems more straightforward and controllable than the EGW (I.E. you tighten a screw instead of whacking the tool with a hammer), and as noted it's almost half the price of the, similar in function, Brownells branded tool.
As always any info or advice is welcome TIA
