The tool for the guide rod on the compacts?  I always used a bent paperclip for my ultra carry.

eta: or do you mean the bushing tool?

Sorry, should have said I needed the guide rod tool, not the bushing tool. Tis for my Ultra Carry.

found it. more than I wanted to spend. I used a pepercilp once, but it bent when I reassembled it and scratched the bushing.

paperclip FTW
i always forget it whenever i go on trips, so i always just use a paper clip or a really small allen key and that seems to get the job done. It seems like a waste just to buy something that is pretty much a straightened out paper clip

Dig through your junk drawer and get a paper clip.  Will work just as well.

I don't use any tools to field strip my 1911. Am I doing something wrong?

Do you have a bull barrel or a regular barrel with a bushing on the end.

(IIRC) kimber using a bull barrel on more of their 1911 that are 4 inch or shorter. Because of this they don't have a bushing and require a tool to disassemble the firearm. It's pretty much a bent paperclip that locks back the spring on the guide rod

Interesting, I didn't know that. I have a 5" regular barrel with the bushing.

I lost the tool for my Ultra CDPII. I emailed Kimber and they replied asking for my mailing address to send me a new one free of charge.
That was in 2003. In 2007 one of the grip panels on my Custom EclipseII broke, I emailed Kimber and they told me to replace my grips with a set of new ones from Kimber, only that time I had to pay. I put a set of VZs on it and it looks much better.
I only mention the dates because the customer service may have changed in quality over that time. Or maybe it was a matter of the cust service individual in each case.
