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

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.

Works as required

Nice.

Overall, it is a very nice bench block for the money - the only issue was I needed to de-burr both top and bottom surfaces. Not a huge deal, but still took a little elbow grease to ensure the sharp edges left over from the injection molding didn't mar any of my parts.

GREAT TOOL

Did the Job for working on my Pistols.......

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

I saw that availability of a less expensive Wheeler bench block in the used/like new listing and thought, why not save a bit. It arrived and was in new packaging with “instructions”.. opened the clam shell and sure enough, someone had used it.. it had scratches on both sides, but I’m sure after the first several times I use it it will not matter in the least! It’s a bench block for crying out loud. Great deal. It will work fine for several applications, but it is designed for the 1911…
