lost P-64 disassembly tool, where to get another?

[Squeezer]

I purchased a P-64 from classicarms.us recently. Somewhere between leaving a friend's house with it and getting home, I lost the disassembly tool that has the screwdriver tip on one end and the punch tip on the other. Does anyone know where I can buy a replacement one, or is it really not needed when performing maintenance and repair on the P-64?

Welcome to the forum bro.

I didn't know there was a disassembly tool.

For field strip you shouldn't need a special tool.

I use a brass punch set if needed.

Sounds like you're talking about the cleaning rod. The "handle" has a slotted screwdriver tip, the tip has a small punch device and a slit for putting a patch in it. It is not necessary. You can buy one on http://www.gunbroker.com for probably a hefty amount for what it is. I use a small screwdriver, small punch, and sometimes a scribe for getting in tight spots.

They're actually a decent price... $5 + $5 shipping.

I've never used the cleaning rod, exclusively, during disassembly. Next time I might try it to see if it's about the same as using the punches and screwdrivers and just use it as it is everything in one.

Thanks, the cleaning tool was exactly what I was looking for!
