Thumbs Up!
I used this wrench to remove a 1916 Spanish short-ring Mauser action from its decrepit, deeply pitted 7x57mm-chambered barrel. First, I applied Kroil to the barrel shank/receiver ring interface and let the stripped barreled action sit for 48 hours. Then, I wrapped the front of the receiver in six layers of blue painters tape before attaching this wrench - carefully, evenly, and as tightly as humanly possible - and hossin the garbage barrel tightly in my bench vise. I then smacked the daylights outta the wrench handle with a 4-lb. hammer. Despite the age and questionable strength of the old Spanish action, it spun free without issue in three solid whacks. This wrench is flawlessly contoured; with the painters tape for added protection, it left no marks whatsoever on my receiver (which is now ready for truing, rebarreling, refinishing, and another 100+ years of shooting).
