There has been plenty of buzz about “3D-printed guns,” but most of that has been confined to proofs of concept, not marketable consumer products. Warren Innovative Technologies, LLC is using this manufacturing technology for firearms tools. More specifically, they are making 3D-printed tools for taking down silencers.
I obtained a sample three-pin wrench designed by Warren for use with SilencerCo products like the Osprey 45. The factory tool from SilencerCo is a nicely machined little square aluminum square with steel pins. It gets the job done, but it doesn’t offer much leverage.
The Warren product is lightweight, but it offers a mechanical advantage over the SCo tool. The steel pins used by Warren are well-seated in the plastic tool material, and they held fast despite application of considerable force on the tool.
Bottom line: Warren Innovative Technologies is making an inexpensive, quality product. Whether you are replacing misplaced OEM tools or looking for an extra, consider giving them a look.
