MisterPlink Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 I’m going to be picking up a new CZ Shadow in the spring and I would like to get a tool kit. I’m just planning on doing maintenance and polishing of the internals/ trigger mechanism. I currently don’t have any gunsmith tools and would like a recommendation for a set. Also something to hold the gun in place while working on it would be great. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GringoBandito Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Wheeler makes some nice tool kits and I bought the one below via amazon. For polishing, I recommend using 1000 and then 2000 grit and finishing with wenol or flitz with felt and a dremel. Go slow and try not to remove any metal. Just polish. https://www.amazon.com/Wheeler-Space-Saver-Screwdriver-Set/dp/B000RZG5NY/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1546800434&sr=8-5&keywords=wheeler+screwdriver+set Universal block - https://www.amazon.com/Impresa-Products-Universal-Bench-Block/dp/B01HH202Q0/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1546800699&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=gunsmithing+block&psc=1 Punches - https://www.amazon.com/TEKTON-Gunsmith-Punch-18-Piece-66564/dp/B012TKY0VI/ref=sr_1_13?ie=UTF8&qid=1546800755&sr=8-13&keywords=punches Hammer - https://www.amazon.com/Grace-USA-Gunsmithing-Gunsmith-Accessories/dp/B00UOVOT48/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1546800792&sr=8-3&keywords=gunsmith+hammer Loupe - https://www.amazon.com/Bausch-Lomb-Watchmaker-Loupe-10x/dp/B000LDG2HQ/ref=sr_1_5_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1546800838&sr=8-5&keywords=10x+loop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzt Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 (edited) I would stay away from Wheeler kits. Been there, done that. The bits are lousy. Brownells sells good bits and tools. I keep one large set (ANSI and Metric hex, Torq, Phillips and flat blade) in my main range bag, along with a micro bit set. That covers everything I'm likely to run into at the range. I also keep one handle (hollow) for each gun with all the bits that gun needs in the handle. If you drop it in the pistol pouch along with the gun, you'll be all set no matter which guns or bags you take with you.

lfine Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 so what's a good set for most common use, especially sight adjustments, that has hollow ground tips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
