Because for some reason, Glock designed their magazine where you can’t disassemble it without causing damage. Even if you do it carefully, it will cause damage to the baseplate and the little teeth on the magazine body over time.
I just don't open them. Because they don't have a chance to get shit in them, if you handle them properly, also, $29.00 is just the first payment, youl still have 5 more monthly payments of $29.00. 😅😅😅 kidding
Ther are tiny tabs on the sides by the track that the base plate slides over that must be overcome, and are visible once the base plate is off. A feature of "Glock Perfection." Unlike any other.
I have taken the base plates off the mags the hard way! I got this tool and it makes it easy and simple! I recommend buying one! This tool doesn't cost much, like around $15.00! It does save time!
That they are. I clean my magazines every 1,000 rounds like a do my pistol. My EDC on the other hand. When I fire it. I go thru and give that pistol a quick wipe down every time I fire it.
Until I bought my first glock I was all for my Xd-40 which I love because I can covert the Xd into a 9mm from a .40 to a carbine with the conversion kit and it’s a damn fine pistol I still like more then glock but after buying my first glock winch is the 43 I’m seeing why glock is so liked. That being said the only issue I have with the Glock is price and plastic clips. I think if they had the metal clips like the Xd it would be even better but in any case there both damn fine pistols though I will always pick the Xd if I had to pick one it will alwasy be the Xd. I think the xd can also convert into a .357 sig which is a useless caliber on my opinion.
I’ve seen other RUclips content creators comment with an affiliate link to whatever tool they used in the video and then pin their comment so it’s the first one seen in the comment section. Just a quick tip for extra money since you’re such a great reviewer and creator. 👍🏻
A answer to a problem no one knew the had, except of course the sponsor. Haven't cleaned my magazines over 30 years of normal use. Glock disapproves of this floor plate abuse and will compromise the ears.
You are a life saver. I have a few sgm tactical mags for my cmmg and they haven’t been feeding properly. They need cleaned and the springs stretched. 👍🏻👍🏻. Long live the republic
I purchase one off Amazon a few months ago. I broke two PMAGs trying to use the punch. Didn't really break, just couldn't get them to go back properly but after I built that tool when they were had any problems
I just opened mine for the first time, but it had a pinky extension so that tool wasn’t working till I combined the metal poker tool and it popped of like crazy lol
Reminder to keep the Glock lubricated with Copper Colored Bronze Oilite ball bearings lubricant Grease and quit using wet and messy oils that can migrate and splash inside Glock pistols. The factory Copper colored Bronze Oilite will not attract dust or dirt and will last a lifetime
I actually have an old suitcase key on my key chain that works for removing mag base plates, taking the child guard off a Bic lighter & Philips screwdriver (very low torque though). I don't have a clue what ever became of the suitcase 🤷♂️😄
Also I think it’s probably because I have a mag in the Glock I can’t mag release that’s the reason why I Dissemble the Glock anyway it’s jammed up in the mag well can’t just mag release I try to pull it out but can’t
It has never been difficult to disassemble a magazine. I take all my mags down (Glock, Beretta, Springfield, Taurus, Girsan, FMK, 1911's, Walther, Sig Sauer, S&W) and oil the springs and followers, and don't use any special tool, or even a punch. A cheap ass ink pen works just fine.
Sorry but taking the base plate of a Glock magazine is probably one of the easiest things to do. Unless your older and have arthritis, this tool is unnecessary.
You don’t need a sissy tool to take a mag apart a punch or literally a knife if you’re careful can do the trick shoot a twig or toothpick would do just fine
@@cyma-zw2tt i assembled plenty.And i never needed or knew anyone who needed a tool like that . It’s a marketing scam to make you think you need something you never needed to begin with.
Replacing 1 tool with another more expensive tool that does the same job is just dumb. Trying to make it seem like removing a baseplate is difficult and tedious in order to justify the use of a niche product is trivial and the ultimate consumerist mentality. It is not difficult to depress the button plate and slide the baseplate off😂
It’s the fact it makes it faster and easier if you’re doing tons of mags. Almost like saying you don’t need a oil filter wrench but it makes it easier.
@@Sackmatters this is different than needing an oil filter wrench. Sometimes you can not possibly get them off by hand when someone overtightens them. With the baseplate of a magazine, there is ALWAYS something near you that will work. Who the hell takes mags apart to clean them often enough to need a special tool? No one. If they do, they are wasting their time.
I agree. Why waste money on stuff you don't need? The tip of a key works just as well too. Anything small enough to push that spring in enough to pull the plate off will work.
@@KimballPrecisionRifles I like shooting various types of matches, especially Steel Challenge. Mag disassembly and cleaning is performed after every match so that powder residue doesn’t cause the follower to stick down in the mag body
Your pushing a tool that isn’t needed. If a person can remove the slide off their Glock the mag floor plate should be a breeze. Never thought I’d see you sell out.
@@sootch00 a pen is just as easy…it’s not rocket science to take a magazine apart. If this tool was really necessary it would’ve been invented at the same time the magazines were.

I haven't cleaned my mags in 20 years and they still work fine
Yes. little oily works. not be wet.,does the job
He’s trying to sell a tool 😂
Till they don't
I use dry film Teflon spray in my polymer mags. Works great no issues so far
@@mikemorgan4250 what does doing that do? Not being condescending just curious.
Actually during the Glock armorer class the instructor said not to open your Glock mags unless you had issues.

Just buy a $3 pin punch from Harbor Freight... no need to spend $29.99 on that "tool."
I just use a pen
Yeah it's not difficult at all

I spent $10 for this tool, the little nut driver for the front sight and a punch for all the little pin on Amazon
Yes! Another great solution to a problem no one has!
Ther are tiny tabs on the sides by the track that the base plate slides over that must be overcome, and are visible once the base plate is off. A feature of "Glock Perfection." Unlike any other.
U ain’t never lied bro …. Anybody looking Amazon as them for good price
Instructions unclear, my bullets are dropping down from the mag
I have taken the base plates off the mags the hard way! I got this tool and it makes it easy and simple! I recommend buying one! This tool doesn't cost much, like around $15.00! It does save time!
You've got to tell them to keep their hand over the spring if it doesn't it would go clean cross the room
Thanks for explaining how to maintain them! I’ve learned so much!
That they are. I clean my magazines every 1,000 rounds like a do my pistol. My EDC on the other hand. When I fire it. I go thru and give that pistol a quick wipe down every time I fire it.
Great tool for adding pinky extensions to your Glock 26/27 mags. Makes it a breeze. 🤙
Just buy new mag. Don't mess with this.
A solution to a problem that doesn't exist
Yes! 😂😂😂
I use AR bullet 5.56
I have noticed that a ball pump needle works great
The tip of an fmj bullet will work too

Handy to remove the factory base and install the extender on your mags
Absolutely. I used it for the pinky extension and it made it much easier

Thanks Brother!
Lmao get some non-shit mags. Springs stretched…? Wtf. That’s not something anyone normally does.
Springs stretched?
🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Spring stretched 😂😂😂
Spring stretched , what?
Thanks Sootch!
I've seen anyone clean the internals of a glock mag.
Good info!!!
Helpful. Thank You.
A solution without a problem.
Just buy new ones to carry, test em and use oldest for practice. Until they fail then chuck em. Buy new. 23 bucks each. Last for ever.
I need something like that for my S&W mags.
I bought a similar tool on Amazon that came with two punches as well. Think I paid $12 before tax and shipping.
I’ve taken them apart in the past, and never found any dirt, I don’t do it anymore
Pulling the baseplate off with a punch is not hard. This tool is fixing a non existent problem.
I just buy new ones every few years
Watch your eyes! Almost took one out today and I’ve done it tons of times and just got complacent.
I am so getting one of these.
What about for the 33 round magazine that has the hole on the other side of the baseplate
I knew that, but good lesson Sooch, I didn't b like T he Channel back at first, then I realized that he is good
Thanks Cody
I purchase one off Amazon a few months ago. I broke two PMAGs trying to use the punch. Didn't really break, just couldn't get them to go back properly but after I built that tool when they were had any problems
All i use is a small screwdriver and some pliers, i dont need my mags to look good, i want them to function
I just opened mine for the first time, but it had a pinky extension so that tool wasn’t working till I combined the metal poker tool and it popped of like crazy lol

I use an old headphones jack... Works perfect for thise plastic pieces..
How often should you maintain your glock mags ?
If Glock is so awesome, why are there so many extra mods that you have to buy to make them so awesome? 😆😆😆
I actually have an old suitcase key on my key chain that works for removing mag base plates, taking the child guard off a Bic lighter & Philips screwdriver (very low torque though). I don't have a clue what ever became of the suitcase 🤷♂️😄
Nice …thx
🤔 interesting so will it work on other mag's
How would you maintain a mag?
the punch is easier
I’m getting one
How is it difficult to use a punch?
Also I think it’s probably because I have a mag in the Glock I can’t mag release that’s the reason why I Dissemble the Glock anyway it’s jammed up in the mag well can’t just mag release I try to pull it out but can’t
I clean my mags four times a day
make that money
You can keep the $30 Glock tool
Guys just bored in the basement 😂🤣
You clean your Glock ?
Not bad but I always just used a c clamp
It has never been difficult to disassemble a magazine. I take all my mags down (Glock, Beretta, Springfield, Taurus, Girsan, FMK, 1911's, Walther, Sig Sauer, S&W) and oil the springs and followers, and don't use any special tool, or even a punch. A cheap ass ink pen works just fine.
Yeah, I’m not doing that 😂
I literally use a ballpoint pen, cost me nothing.
One has got to open a lot of magazines to justify buying one. Or be a sucker. Either one.
So its a Lego brick remover.. for your magazines~
If you can't pull apart your magazine with a punch, you have no business owning a gun.
that could be 3d printed for cheaper, if it breaks, make another.
Uhhh yeah.....what's to maintane a spring.
The key to success is having the proper tools and the skills to use them. Register and vote in every election and support your county sheriff.
It is NOT that simple if you haven’t disassembled the mag before, especially w/ the 6 rd G43 mag. I’ve been prying now for almost 3 mins.
wtf do mags even get dirty??? the only time u would need to preform maintenance on a mag is when it breaks, and then in that case just buy a new one
Its easy without that "glock" tool 😅
A solution looking for a problem.
I use a pen to push it in, "rather difficult" more like the fingers of a small child.
SOOTCH!!!
I just did it with a fork...
Doesn't look difficult to do at all, bud. They definitely paid you to push that contraption on us.
Soouch the moouch

Glock says do not take apart there mags leave them be don’t even lube them idk wtf this video is for
Screwing with your guns causes more malfunction than anything.
