It looks like it's well made and useful for some people but I don't need one.

Disappointed the other side didn't help you put it back together. 

I've only got one 1911 and the collet isn't tight so I've never had a problem doing it by hand.  Never had the spring go flying.

Looks like a big improvement over the standard wrench that has been around forever.  However, once I learned how to break down a 1911 I have never needed the wrench.  If you use a wrench I think this would be a great tool in your bag.

I've never started disassembly from the muzzle end. I do it by pulling the takedown pin first, and removing the slide assembly like JMB intended.
I guess you can't do it that way if you have a full length guide rod.

<sigh> Of course, I just (as in 5 days ago) picked up Real Avid's 1911 Micro Tool, a mini-1911 wrench on a key chain. Cabela's didn't have this, else I would have gotten it instead as I prefer plastic around my handguns where possible, not steel. Oh well.

I've done it both ways, but tend to do it the way you describe about 90% of the time.

I have several 1911's but only one has a bushing tight enough to need a wrench....and I have a Dillon for that, but this looks easier to use...... for $10, I might give it a go.

Like Alf I have only one 1911 and it has a full length guide rod which means carrying a multi-tool to the range in case I need to take it down for some reason. Haven't had to yet but it will happen on the only time I don't take it with me. Mine is a Rock Island Match and have had any hic ups with it at all.
