This video is from 2016. We are in 2019 and the nightmares continues with the assembly extension grip. All guns should be shipped with that device.

I never saw the need for something like this until I got older and Arthritis has started to set in. I bought a new Glock 29 and those really require putting on the finger extensions and what was easy to do has become a real bear. this will make my life easier and I intend to get one.

It really does work. I have been messing around with pliers for 20 minutes. I watched this video and I got the 2 base plates right off.

Need one. It's basically impossible to get the base plate off without pliers, and a vice and hours of cursing... this seems like a better solution ;)

THIS IS BY FAR THE EASIEST TOOL FOR BASEPLATE EVER! FOR SOMEONE WHO HAD SPENT HOURS... BEFORE, THIS TOOL TOOK ME 5 SECONDS LITERALLY!!!!!!

looks handy. I've only disassembled 1 glock mag ever. after that 1, I figured I'd only take em apart if I really need to and I haven't yet. I do want to get some plus 5 baseplate one day.

For every job there is a correct tool. This works great. 5 base plates swapped out in less than 15 minutes.

Thanks for the magazine disassembly tool video Lenny....! Nice machine shop,and glad to hear,and see you are making products right here in the good ole USA. Cheers,and God bless..!!

Use a C-clamp to push the base of the mags( mild pressure) in while you stick a punch in the base plate. Works like a charm

I swear Glock is always trying to make you spend more money just to get “perfection”

I just bought 4 new mags and changing out the plates were a chore! I ended up using the underside lip of the counter to get enough push to pop the plate loose. New mags are tough, once you pop em once or twice its not so bad.

glad they've decided to make a tool because im a little sick of scuff marks an damages on my Glock mags!

Great tool, great instructional video. Just be careful when you crank down on the magazine plate, because if you are not careful the hole will deform. Then, you will have an oblong hole.🤓☝️

Great job Lenny!

Great spokesperson. A real Dork when it comes to guns. Remember always point your gun in a safe direction he says as he starts out the video pointing the gun straight at the camera without clearing the chamber! Good ole Lenny, he makes me smile

This tool has changed my Glock magazine cleaning life! I love it!

Thanks again Lenny for some good instruction. Your videos are very sound and straight forward, 👍🏾

I purchased this tool and it works great.

I have never had any issues using standard Glock punch tool. You just have to insert it all the way into the mag base plate and there will be no bending of the tool at all. This will save you at least $20 if not more. Some of these tools are rip offs. Just like the one to reassemble your firing pin. Just use the hole at the rear of your slide placing the firing pin sleeve in the hole and push down on spring and reinstall spring cups. Anyway the tool looks like it does get the job done for those that want to dish out the money for a $30 bottle opener.

Looks to be very useful.

Great video! Thank you. All my questions answered.

Nice tool to have around. Thanks!

I hope you know you and Hickok are my new grandpas

Hopefully I can save people some frustration/money. I held a mag in my left hand with my fist against my knee, with a metal punch inserted into the back I pushed straight down with my right as the , I was sitting in a chair which probably made this easier, you only have to get the plate forward 1/4" then it slides off easily. I'm not a glock guy, the only reason I have the mags are because of my sub2000, but other than a strong punch that's really all you need and you won't damage anything. I watched this video because I didn't wanna mess anything up as I've never taken the base plate off of a glock mag before. But seeing how mdt worked I just grabbed a metal punch from my set and took off 3 from oem glock mags pretty easily.

I love my G17 but the mags shouldn't require a tool for disassembly just my opinion, love the magpul simple design. This tool is amazing and glad it was designed and made!

You should move the store to the U.S.

That voice should be on a radio!

I was watching all these videos until I came across this video trying to get this baseplate off to put on my pinky extension on my Glock it took me at least 40 minutes🤦🏾 until I seen this video and it only took me one second if that after seeing this video to realize I got this tool 😅 just like that it’s old one off new one on wow😮‍💨🙄🤦🏾 and would’ve never thought to do that🙃🤣🤣🤣

Don't do it this way. Get yourself a pair of channel locks out of your toolbox and a dish towel so you won't mar the magazine body. First push the base plate lock down into the magazine with Glock tool or punch. It will stay down by itself. Put the channel locks around the mag near the base plate (with the dish towel under it). Squeeze lightly (to disengage the locking tabs) and the base plate will come off easily. No chance of destroying the locking tabs or the base plate lock hole by trying to lever it off with the locking tabs still in their place in the locking holes. And save yourself the 30 bucks.

This doesn't solve "the squeezing the sides with a damn c clamp to bypass the side tabs" issue. Absolutely cannot do this by hand.

Dude, your voice is awesome. You should start a podcast

Awesome, your video made it so easy!

2022 and Glock mags are still a pain in the ass to disassemble. Fortunately my gun runs Pmags w/o any issues & disassemble w/o special tools or muscling 🤣🤣🤣

Love the tool.

gimmick all the way, take a punch as he showed and get a good size vice grips, adjust the vice grip to squeeze just enough to pry back the plate. there are small tabs on the side of the mag and if you take your mags apart a lot you can strips them off

Inside Glock mags are locks on the left and right side, If you pinch the outside of the mag near the base plate, it makes this easier, I was able to do it with a tiny screw driver.

Smirnoff Ice?! Freakin Legend!!

Thanks good stuff.. This helps... Lots of desert dust inside.. Thanks

I want to know if that's an after market spring. mine aren't silver or chrome like that. mine are also new. Only 640 rounds out of the both of them and they are like a copper color.

Cheers!

very nice

Love this guy’s commentaries. Nice guy and talks so we can easily understand all his tutorials..😉

Excellent!

love that dual purpose tool lol.

How do you have the glock 43? I'm stationed here in California, but I can't purchase a 43 because it's not on the list.

I heard these types of tools don't work with the large frame Glock magazines. (.45 and 10mm) Is that correct?

Video was very helpful

Great tool i need one

Finally a tool that I can use to take apart my mags that's not $55

The plus 2 base plate hole is near the back of the magazine instead of the front. We need a disassembly tool for this!

Channel locks and a rag works for me. Wear safety glasses as he said looking into the camera w/o wearing safety glasses...🤪

All man points just went out the window. He just opened a Smirnoff Ice!

Nice product, the video only needs to be 2-3 minutes long though ;-)

Will this work with ALL centerfire Glock magazines?

I've done the whole punch point thing doesn't work I've other videos where the problem is, is the two little clip things on the side where you gotta put pressure on the two side to release the baseplate, why does this look soo damn easy for -_-

Lenny what’s that A ZIMA That you opened

Pretty slick tool! Very unfortunate that it's necessary though. The locking tabs are a stupid design feature that makes Glock mags unnecessarily difficult to disassemble. I can take down the mags for my XDE very quickly and easily with literally any random object capable of moving the floorplate the short distance necessary for it to disengage from the baseplate and my thumb.

Would love to visit your store, unfortunately Kalf won't let me CCW, as with any other state with anti 2A laws i don't travel there, my money spends just fine in pro 2A states just fine. Now if we get national CCW i will be seeing ya.

What a cool dude

Why does this tool work with 10mm and .45 ACP magazines while the Magpul tool doesn't?

You don't have to squeeze the bottom sides of the magazine in at the same time?

Nice very nice

How does it work with the 2 little notches on the sides?

is there no patent on this tool? there's a mag claw too but looks like it's polymer

a bottle opener that doubles as a magazine disassembly tool, nice.

Why are glock mags not designed with takedown in mind? All my mags are damaged and really messed up from simply taking them apart and cleaning them. I don't like that about glock. Gotta damn near break the mag to get it open.

Nice work!

Hard to disassembled for Glock magazine without those tools, I understand that for safety reason but It shouldn’t be that hard.

will it work on mags that are not glock I have a eaa witness

will this work on glock 43 mags?

If you get a flexible cup brush you can bend it to fit the magazine for cleaning. Come on Smirnoff ice ?

Note that this won’t work on magazines with any type of extensions even the factory ones like on the G43.

I use a Allen wrench

Please make one for the Glock plus 2 base plate.

Maestro costo de la herramienta para sacar la tapa del magasin soy de Panamá donde lo compro

This man is a gem!

I just use an allen wrench to depress the tab then pull it forward at the same time. My s&w 40ve magazines disassemble much easier

Does this work with ca compliant mags

Smirnoff? What the...

I had good luck using a semi-broken C-Clamp and the normal glock tool

Will this damage the tabs that holds on the base plate?

My baseplate keeps hanging up on the spring, I'll come back later and try again w/the "Tac-MBT!"

It's really ironic gs is bases in on of the most restrictive gun states u can't even open carry in ca

Seems obvious Glock doesn't want you to take mags apart. Way too difficult.

If Glock didn’t keep fucking around with the magazines and we would have no need for the dissembling tool !

I believe you remove the rear sight with the same tool.

Holy salesman Batman

Glock 26 Gen 5 - changed the magazine cover, used the tool - 3 minutes.

I have interece wm buy how do I?

Save money, just use a long, straight screwdriver that fits in the hole!

or you could teach people how to remove it properly

Ordered mine 11 days ago, what gives Lenny? It's a no show.

Like a bottle opener

He looks like a guy from The Incredibles.

He could save us 40% if he moved his operation to fl. No need for some fancy tool to take a mag apart. Ball point pen will work every time.

having problem loading last round into the mag what can i do

Instructions unclear, opened the mags, drank them, then opened the beers and changed the follower in them.

3:25 You're welcome!

It's incredibly useful, but they charge so much for such a simple. I wonder if anyone has a 3D print design.

how much do those run for?
