If you have ever struggled with bending an extractor to get just the exact tension, this tool is for
you. Extractor tension is very critical on a 1911 for proper extraction and ejection. If
the extractor is too tight the pistol will not go into battery smoothly or sometimes not
at all. If the extractor is too loose your brass flies every which way and sometimes not
completely out of the slide. With this tool you can precisely adjust your extractor
virtually to the ounce each time.
You simply bend the extractor by
turning the screw clockwise until it bottoms out on the stop. Adjust the stop (screw
with the nut attached) in or out for more or less extractor tension. No more over-bending
and under-bending with pliers or a vise. Smooth, precise adjustments each time you try.
Take advantage of our great
introductory deal. You can buy just the Extractor Adjusting Tool for $34.95 plus shipping
or you can add $15 and we will send along our ETG,
Extractor
Tension Gauge set. The ETG is used for measuring the exact setting of your
extractor to the ounce. Check our Pistolsmithing tool section for details.
