Just did it in 2 seconds. Excellent advice. I’ve done this before years ago with BAD advice from you tubers and wrestled the dang magazine for 20 minutes and wanted to scream. Thanks for the tip!!!!
Thank you so much I finally got to take off the plus 2 baseplate off the bottom of the 33rd stick and put it on one of my Glock 17 mags greetings from Texas
Just did three magazines in three minutes. No pliers and no wrestling. Small philips head screwdriver, shoved it down and pushed forward. Changed the bases in seconds. Thank you very much! There are still videos showing compression, they should watch this.
One of the all time great videos...simple, to the point, well explained, and it works like a dream. I used this on my 17 round Glock mags and could not believe how easy it was. Many, many thanks for posting and sharing your information!
I was struggling with removing the base plates on my g19 for replacing with grip extensions, until i cane across your video. Couldn't belive how easy it was. I used a 7/64 allen wrench. Thanks for sharing!
Using this method right now to update the followers in (5) of my mags to the 9mm3 version. Work's like a damn charm, man. Currently using a 3/32 punch and a little finesse before I pry it forward
Worked great for one of my mags, so thanks for the advice. The second magazine I was replacing the plate on the inner locking plate ended up dislodging and tumbling down into the magazine. I took my brass punch (same size, slightly softer) and one tap to the back of the plate knocked it forward. It's a little riskier, but at least that works as a good backup and is way better that using pliers.
So after the glock tool bends like a coat hanger and the detent plate goes perpendicular what do you recommend? Done it twice and have watched a half dozen videos on how to do it without pliers or c clamp.
This definitely works! My only suggestion would be to use a thicker punch like a 1/8" so you don't bend your punches unless you know your punches are made of hardened steel.
I dropped mines . Everything flew out springs bullets & all thought it was broke it’s a factory 31+ glock magazine. But thanks to you I put everything back together
The way I did it on the 10 rounder all you have to do is put it in a vise trust me I did it wrap a tile put the corners and a vise push it back in there just the top part I mean the bottom part squeeze the corners while pushing down on the middle button and it will hold it all in place even the spring and the base plate comes off
It will come off, you have to give it some major juice. I have a Glock 17 that is only 4 months old and after shooting USPSA and doing mag changes in sand, I needed to clean my magazines out. The first one I did, I didn't think I could get it off but after really putting some muscle into it, it came of. The other 3 after that were easier to do since I knew what I had to do. Keep trying, you'll get it.
Use a vice put it in a vise grip just the bottom half make sure the rabbit tile around it and slowly tighten and if you cannot get the button depressed take a punch and press in hold it in while tightening on the device
Given the way it's made I doubt the mag was actually made to be taken apart at all, which would be the business smart thing to do as you would be forced to just buy a new one should something happen. Speaking of I have a mag that is brand new but the follower gets stuck and jams up the rounds. Would love to see what is going on in the mag but I can't remove the base plate without completely wrecking it. -_-
I did it this way, but the base plates on my mags were a little bit more stubborn, they wouldn’t slide right off. I had to take a small screwdriver and pry them off carefully. Maybe it’s because the base plates on my mags have never been taken off before now and I’ve been using them for five or six years, I don’t know. I keep my meticulously clean and lubricated, but at any rate I got the job done.
man i already replaced my baseplates and no the mags dont fit with my flared magwell so im trying to go back to oem but that detent spring or whatever wont compress at all like I cant shove a punch in more than an 1/8th of on inch feels like I would need a hammer to get it down in there any further
The Glock tool is 3/32" not 1/16. This method may work with magazines that have been disassembled a few time but if you try it with a brand new magazine you will bend your Glock tool before the baseplate moves a hair.
You’re AWESOME man!... only possibly ruined 2 of my 3, G19-gen5 clips that it came with before I even got to use it.. because I can’t get the bases off them but the button will not return for me to start over from the beginning with your technique/PRICELESS ADVICE! Any suggestions, anyone?
put it in a vice slowly tighten while pressing down on the button hold it down until the button doesn't want to come off anymore tap from the other side with a flathead screwdriver and it will slowly take the plate off make sure it doesn't pop up on you but mind held tight enough that it didn't spring back until I took the tension off just the bottom half you got to kind of corner it in a vice trust me it works take your time turn slowly tighten slowly
These instructions worked great! I will say, however, that I had to use a 1/8 inch punch, the 1/16 bent with the effort needed to overcome the little side tab, and my punch is hardened as well. Looking more closely at you punch, it appears to me you used a 1/8 punch as well, not a 1/16.
Dude thank you so much for the video. I had been screwing around with that base plate on a brand new mag for 10 or 15 minutes and it wouldn't budge. Followed your guide with a punch and popped right off...so easy I wanted to kick myself. Thanks again!
I'd suggest a simple OEM Glock tool for any Glock pistol owner or officer/deputy issued a Glock model. I bought 1 in 2022. Note: I've used G Tul mag tools since the 2010s. Simple, no fuss, no scuffs.
I took mine off with a bottle opener and replaced it. Now when I cock my gun back with the empty mag inside it doesn’t stay back. Did I do something wrong?
Gun should lock back because the follower pushes up onto the slide release. Therefore you have a spring tention issue or your follower may be in backwards
Just did it in 2 seconds. Excellent advice. I’ve done this before years ago with BAD advice from you tubers and wrestled the dang magazine for 20 minutes and wanted to scream. Thanks for the tip!!!!
This worked for me on a 16-round mag. I'm a 47 year old women and I have normal hanged strength. I used and I used an old allen wrench I had.
This should be at the top. Not the ones that show people using players or any other tools
Plyers*
. Pliers
Thank you sir. Lord have mercy. I wasted a lot of time watching other vids. Too easy.
Holy cow. Thank you so much. Oh my god you just saved my hands a lot of pain.
BEST VID ON POPPING OFF THE BASEPLATES!!! Note you can do it with a relatively thick Allen key if you don’t have a punch laying around!!
Thank you bro

Lmao...like this was some 15 min video with a bunch of unnecessary info ..it was pretty straightforward and to the point 😂 WOW dude
I appreciate you dude. The soap box was extra.

This is why I check the tube first,
Thank you for passing proper knowledge in a quick fashion
Thank you for your brilliance. This saved so much time and mag damage lol
Wow dude....very sweet ..I've had a Glock for 15 years and wish I would have known this a long time ago....very easy...thanks
Thanks for the help man. So much easier than using pliers.
Tried with plus base plate and worked like a charm...excellent vid...subscribed.
Using this method right now to update the followers in (5) of my mags to the 9mm3 version. Work's like a damn charm, man. Currently using a 3/32 punch and a little finesse before I pry it forward
WOW. just did this to 2 stock mags... now they they are +4. thanks.

Thanks man used an Allen key and worked immediately, been messin with this all mornin lol appreciate yah
I had an extension on my g26 mag that I couldn't take off but thanks to this I finally got it in 2 seconds
This doesn’t seem to work on a ten round mag.
This is true
I'll try it on a 10 rounder
@@thetacticalagenda875 did it work? Because I'm also having trouble with a 10 round mag.
@@thetacticalagenda875 thumbs down on video. For not replying back
I just tried on a 10rd mag too
Thank god, I’ve been searching for a clamp to do this for like an hour, wish I would’ve seen this video earlier. Thanks for the help man!
Hugeee help. I done it with the same speed as you was got excited thanks man
I just took a box cutter and cut the damn thing off I couldn't get it to budge so I could add my grip extension to the mag LOL
Yea i CANNOT get mine off. it's driving me nuts haha.
thank you for the video this most definitely was easier and very helpful versus the other videos I seen where they want you to squeeze the sides.
So after the glock tool bends like a coat hanger and the detent plate goes perpendicular what do you recommend? Done it twice and have watched a half dozen videos on how to do it without pliers or c clamp.
At that point try to find something to pull from the hole outward with a lot of force. If not may have to c clamp it
Even today you save people money with this trick
This definitely works! My only suggestion would be to use a thicker punch like a 1/8" so you don't bend your punches unless you know your punches are made of hardened steel.
I dropped mines . Everything flew out springs bullets & all thought it was broke it’s a factory 31+ glock magazine. But thanks to you I put everything back together
When I try to use a punch on the base plate it only goes in half inch and I can’t get it to go any further. Any advice?
Wow what a great method for removing base plates, thank you for sharing!
Thanks for the tip. Worked great for my Glock 42.
Appreciate you making a video on this. Saved me a lot of time and a headache. Thanks!
this works better on some mags than others. i broke a punch tool on a mag just a moment ago doing this, popped right off for another one.
I struggled with this on a 15rd Glock 17 mag. It has a factory block and short spring every other mag this trick works great. Just a heads up
This wont work on 10 rpunder..you cant push down over spring plate.as 10 round is not staggered but center stack
The way I did it on the 10 rounder all you have to do is put it in a vise trust me I did it wrap a tile put the corners and a vise push it back in there just the top part I mean the bottom part squeeze the corners while pushing down on the middle button and it will hold it all in place even the spring and the base plate comes off
Very, very helpful post. Thanks so much for showing us how to do that!
I was struggling and this was very helpful. Thank you.
This saved my hands from potential arthritis down the road. Wish I knew about this before I added mag extensions to 12 different glock mags 💩
You made easy. Thanks for showing the process.
Great Video! You made it so easy! Thanks!
I’m glad I watched this before I started poking mine with a paperclip. 😂 THANK YOU! 🙏🏻 So easy. 👍🏼
Thanks man! Lol...i was getting no where with the pliers method :)
I don't usually comment on videos but damn this shit is awesomeness!!
Really works, best video ever
I tried it and I must have too new of a mag to get the plate off of it.

Just did it. Simple AF. Great video
I use a mini wood clamp with soft rubber ends & then do that. I've tried without clamping it but I just feel like I'm going to break it
Worked perfectly. Thank you!
Jesus Christ halfway into to the video and you finally start with the original intent
Wild.
Makes sense!
Thanks for the video.
This is the way to do it. Thank you.
Dude! So simple. Thanks!
It's worked great for adding my mag extensions! Thanks for this info!
Nice job brother. Thanks for the info👍🇺🇸
Can this be at the top of TH-cam? Some dudes using crazy tools to do this haha
Well, thank you! that just made my life sooooo much easier!
man i already replaced my baseplates and no the mags dont fit with my flared magwell so im trying to go back to oem but that detent spring or whatever wont compress at all like I cant shove a punch in more than an 1/8th of on inch feels like I would need a hammer to get it down in there any further
what if the punch isnt going down all the way my punch is like only going down a little bit.
Thanks for the video. That worked perfectly.
The Glock tool is 3/32" not 1/16. This method may work with magazines that have been disassembled a few time but if you try it with a brand new magazine you will bend your Glock tool before the baseplate moves a hair.
Take your time with the explanation. Please don't rush to showing how anything is done
You’re AWESOME man!...
only possibly ruined 2 of my 3, G19-gen5 clips that it came with before I even got to use it.. because I can’t get the bases off them but the button will not return for me to start over from the beginning with your technique/PRICELESS ADVICE!

And did I mention I got the 10 rounder base plate off everyone seems to find it impossible to do
Finally!!! Thank you brother.

Now that’s some good info!! Thanks a lot
Thank you sir!🤜🏼🤛🏼
This video was super helpful.
Don’t try this, you’ll rip through the plastic before you get the base plate off.
does this not work on a CA compliant Glock 17 mag?
Thanks bro, just broke two new glock oem mags, “glock perfection” more like glock w*ankers
worked like a champ!
Thank you so much 🙏🏼
Good information, thanks !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dude thank you so much for the video. I had been screwing around with that base plate on a brand new mag for 10 or 15 minutes and it wouldn't budge. Followed your guide with a punch and popped right off...so easy I wanted to kick myself. Thanks again!
No problem! Glad it helped
i have a g19 gen3 and it wont push through. Im applying a good amount of pressure too. any idea?
Omg! So much easier! Thank u 🙏🏻
Why dont my mags push in like that though?
The button on the bottom of my mags won’t press in but just a millimeter….Been trying to swap out mag plates for 2 days now 😡
What a great video!! Thanks for the info
Using the same tool and can't push the pin down more than the depth of the factory baseplate.
lol after 30 mins of trying this & getting mad I just slammed it on the ground but it came off 😂
I'd suggest a simple OEM Glock tool for any Glock pistol owner or officer/deputy issued a Glock model. I bought 1 in 2022. Note: I've used G Tul mag tools since the 2010s. Simple, no fuss, no scuffs.
Good job, right to the point.
Love to see you do it with a 10 round magazine...
So does this no work on taking the 33rd +2 baseplate off ? Ready to throw this shit 😂
Where’d you find this tool?
Awesome video, great job!!
Very correct and helpful.
You’re awesome thank you
I took mine off with a bottle opener and replaced it. Now when I cock my gun back with the empty mag inside it doesn’t stay back. Did I do something wrong?
Gun should lock back because the follower pushes up onto the slide release. Therefore you have a spring tention issue or your follower may be in backwards
Will this work on a Glock 48mag ?
????? Why do people say they have so much trouble with this?
