I have received the 1st set of tools I created the 3D models for. Found a very cool guy who did the turning and milling for me, as he has better machines for it THANKS, Wolfgang!!
I got the idea to do also the tools during working on my ‘30mm Bomber Seals Project‘ which means I’m doing a 1:1 reproduction of seals).
This are 2 handy tools for servicing Bombers (here: for 30mm Bombers only, other dimensions will follow) which are very helpful in 2 ways:
- By using the Slider Protector you can lever the oil seal without damaging the slider
- With the Oil Seal Insertion Tool you can press the oil- and the dust seal in a defined way (verticaly, evenly).
I show you the originals from Mazocchi, which are very expensive :

Notes:
- my Slider Protector is more flat to make it more easiert to lever the oil seal out
- my slider protector is for the older slider (single ones) only! It does not work for the different M-Arch types!!
- the Slider Protector has a larger outside diameter : so you can hold it better in hand, lying on the slider, and have better support for your lever (the screwdriver?)
- the Oil Seal Insertion Tool is made out of high-impact plastic to protect seals & bushings (the original one was out of metal and had not that smooth surface. As you push it into the bushing during oil seal press-in I was afraid of damaging the bushing!)
I’m planing to offer ‘All-Inclusive-Service-Kits’ means : Bomber Seal Kit + Tools to do your own service.
