Wheeler Universal Bench Block with Non-Marring Construction and Multiple Uses for Pistols, Gunsmithing and Maintenance

well made

I do a little bit of minor gun smithing work on my pistols. I purchased this bench block to work on my many Colt 1911’s and my Glocks. I like having this surface to hammer on as it helps to protect the finish of the weapon as I remove sights, pins and reinsert them. I like having the various sized holes for work as well as the channels for holding the gun slides. I like how the bench block holds the slide for example as I hold the punch and the hammer, it’s like having an extra hand. I like how the block is solid and it provides a firm support for my work but it doesn’t mar the finish on the guns or scratch them. I have actually started setting up a case for my gun smithing tools to have them all in one place. And this tool is one of my most used items. It works well and I would buy it again. This thing is solid and bigger in diameter than it looks like in the photo. I am even considering modifying the block to work better with some of my older Glock pistols. I was able to use one of the existing large holes in the block and using a punch and hammer I was able to remove the staked front sights of two of my older Glocks to replace them. The nice thing about this bench block is that it lets you hammer away on your pistol without damaging it or your work surface. It provides good support for your weapon. The pre-drilled holes in the block are very useful to work on your guns and rifles. So far I have taken 4 glock pistols and replaced the sights and worked on a Colt AR15 using this bench block. I have just worked on a 5th Glock which was a Glock 17 and the bench block came in handy again. This is one of those must have tools that you’ll need if you are serious about working on your own guns. I saw a comment that this block is only good for use with 1911’s. I disagree, I have used it on multiple guns and I have found it very useful for general gunsmith work. This tool is very helpful.

There is not much that can be said for a product such as this. It works as designed and with zero moving parts is very durable with only a minimal amount of common sense use.

It is a rather expensive piece of plastic that does exactly what is supposed to do. I'm pretty sure it even said made in the USA on it. If not then some one please correct me because I'd love to give this thing about two stars because of the price. Oh well. the truth is that it keeps you from damaging your firearms while pounding on pins. Wood could work in some low budget, I really don't care about my work, instances but wood has to much give and your parts bury up and drift into the wood decreasing the effectiveness of using pin punches and mallets. This thing is also impervious to oil and grease and solvents so it wont soak them up and get soft like wood. It's a little small at first inspection but that actually makes it easier to get your hand around your parts and hold them firmly down on the block while working on them. Yep, it's quite deceiving just how hand this thing can be until you start using it. It's best for use with pistols including 1911's but could be used for bolt work on some rifles as well sub assemblies on various other firearms.

Great for punching out pins if needed to hammer out on . Wont mar your work especially if you use brass pin punch set . Get it. well worth it to have on your bench

I was skeptical about paying $20 for this thing. Is it really going to pay for itself? Turns out, this bench block is pretty great. Grips both the working surface, and the item you are working on. Tough enough that it won't cut from metal edges pounding into it while installing roll pins. I see a lot of guys using wooden blocks. People may think that this is more of a luxury than a necessity, and that may be true, but there is something to be said about having the right tools for the job. A piece of wood is sometimes very cumbersome. This bench block is useful, I forget that I'm using it. I wish that I had gotten one sooner. It would have made my life so much easier, and cuts down on install/removal time as well.

Great tool assist. Makes take downs very easy and fast. Also does not mare the metal.💜💜💜💜

I'm an armorer and use these constantly. Wheeler holds up the best and is the more versatile of all the selections I have seen.

Molto utile, ci si lavora bene.

Does a great job working on my S&W SD40VE, harder plastic than I expected but a handy tool to save the dinner table your working on and prevent your better half from yelling about her furniture.

Está perfecto...👌👌
