This precision-engineered jig transforms a frustrating task into an effortless procedure, enabling shooters and gunsmiths alike to achieve results without sacrificing time or energy. This tool stands as a testament to meticulous design, melding functionality with a compact form factor that doesn’t overwhelm your workspace.
Crafted from rugged 6061 aluminum and finished with a Type III hard coat anodized coating, the GPT is built for durability and long-lasting performance. Its thick and wide base reinforces stability and allows for secure clamping in a vise, taking the hassle out of holding steadiness while your hands tackle the delicate task of pin installation.

User-friendly design is where the GPT truly shines. Features like a scalloped finger access recess and rounded edges make it not only comfortable to use, but also safe in preventing slips and scratches.
