Browning Hi-Power Mainspring Tool

Description

The Browning Hi-Power Mainspring Tool from Apex is a precision-machined, gunsmith-grade solution for a job that often causes frustration. Priced at $35, this tool solves the specific problem of removing or replacing the mainspring on your Springfield SA-35 or any classic Browning Hi-Power pattern pistol. If you maintain your own firearms, this tool pays for itself the first time you use it.

This tool is designed to compress and contain the mainspring securely, allowing you to remove the mainspring support nut and pin from the mainspring strut with minimal effort. Instead of fighting with spring tension or worrying about parts launching across your workbench, you get clean, controlled disassembly. It works equally well for reassembly, guiding the spring back into place without binding or pinched fingers.

Built for real-world use, this tool is manufactured in Peoria, AZ by Apex—a company known for practical, durable firearm components. It is not a novelty item; it is a shop-grade tool that belongs in any serious owner’s toolkit. Whether you are a professional gunsmith or a dedicated hobbyist maintaining your own collection, this tool reduces the frustration of working with the Hi-Power mainspring system.

Key benefits and fitment details:

• Direct fit for Springfield SA-35 and all standard Browning Hi-Power pistols (including clones with the same mainspring configuration).
• Eliminates the need for makeshift solutions like pliers, screwdrivers, or padded vise grips that can mar your firearm’s finish or damage the spring.
• Reduces risk of injury by containing the compressed spring safely during the removal process.
• Compact and easy to store in your range bag or toolbox—no bulky jigs or complex setups required.
• Allows for quick spring changes if you are adjusting trigger pull weight or replacing a worn part.

Specifications:

• Material: Machined steel with a durable black oxide finish for corrosion resistance.
• Compatibility: Browning Hi-Power (all standard models), Springfield SA-35, and compatible clones.
• Includes: One mainspring tool only (mainspring, strut, pin, and nut not included).
• Weight: Approximately 2.5 ounces—light enough to carry, heavy enough to handle the job.

If you own a Springfield SA-35 or a Browning Hi-Power, this tool is a practical upgrade to your maintenance routine
