Product reviewsWheeler Universal Bench Block Nonmarring Urethane Blue 672215

Great tool for the money

This is a very handy bench block for 1911 and other guns as well. Not sure how well it will hold up being made of urethane , but for the money it doesn't have to last forever.
It has a lot of 1911 specific functions for various tasks including slide mods, link-pin removal and replacement, and even holds the slide in place so you can stake in a new front sight on the early government type. For just over $20 it paid for itself the first time I used it.Read full review...

Make your own out of wood blocks

This looks to be a one piece injection mold with rough edges. It might take a few beatings but I don't think it's going to survive more than a year. The first problem I can see is it's not going to stay in one place while working with it. Slides on the table like a hockey puck. Guess I need 3 hands. Save your money and drill some holes in a block of wood.Read full review...

Very Handy Tool

I purchased the block to primarily work on 1911 pistols but I also use it for AR-15/AR-10's. I knew the primary design was for the 1911 but I thought it would work with AR rifles and it did. So the value of the block has increased in my opinion due to it's versatility. I would recommend this block to anyone needing it for 1911's and maybe find use with rifles as I have. I'm sure there are other uses for the block but I found two that makes it a very good value. It seems to be durable and should last a long time.Read full review...

Perfect for all handguns

Even though it's specifically made for a 1911, this block will come in handy. I bought it to install a spring kit for my XDs. Worked like a charm and much better than a roll of duct tape. It's light, non-marring and will make easy work of any gunsmithing project.Read full review...

Essential Tool for Amateur Gunsmith

Really helpful for working on a 1911, especially the Commander lightweight. The aluminium (Colt alloy) frame is easy to scratch, but the Wheeler block holds gently and surely while you complete tasks. It makes removing and installing small parts under spring pressure manageable, becoming the "third hand" needed for many operations. Well made, does what it's supposed to, great value.Read full review...

Good For Gunsmithing

I find this bench block handy for certain uses - most commonly for driving out pins. When I have a really stubborn pin, I still find blocks of wood work better because they provide a more solid resistance. I also use the block for holding parts in fixed positions while I work on them. For example, it can be used to hold the barrel of a rifle while you work on the receiver. I don't use it for everything, but it has its place.Read full review...

Great Gunsmith Bench Block

I have seven handguns and frequently wished I had a bench block to make tasks easier when working on these handguns. I am relatively new to shooting, starting in early 2016. I frequently wished I had a device to assist in cleaning, modifying, and maintaining these weapons. This Gunsmith Bench Block is absolutely perfect for my needs. The price is very reasonable, the quality is great, and makes maintaining my handguns much easier. I wish I had bought it earlier!Read full review...

Useful tool for the bench

I knew I wanted a good bench block but didn't realize how useful this tool is until I used it. Buy this item with confidence! Worked great on my Smith & Wesson 9 mm as well as my AR rifle.
