Streamlight TL-Racker - Spanner Tool NOT Included!

[CelloMan]

Hello - Well, after reading several reviews of flashlights and watching a few YouTube videos about installing them, I got the Streamlight TL-Racker.
Somewhere along the way I didn't notice that it does not come with a spanner tool. So, is there something I can use as an alternative, or do I have to buy the tool? Since this is my first firearm, I don't have a whole lot of gunsmith tools (and I'm not in a hurry to have a full set!).

Thanks

Show us a pic, what exact tool do you need?

It's a light build into the forend, so he needs a forend tool.

Instructions say the tool isn't supplied. That sucks.

I've only used a cheap tool, which I got somewheres. It's just a stamped flat bar. Works fine for me. Brownells & MidwayUSA have much nicer gunsmith tools but they run $25-$30 and you don't need one of those.

Sorry I don't have any work around suggestions.

I ordered this one from Amazon: https://amzn.to/3fv8Pgd
There were less expensive options, but didn't have good reviews.
I'll probably never need it again. Who knows...?

Yea, but if you need it, then you need it.

I’m sure I’m to late on this, u can use long nose pliers will work. Other wise you can get the tool for $5.00 from this seller. https://www.mountsplus.com/aim-sports-s ... -tool.html

Yes, thanks, but it was too late (...and I'm seeing your comment very late, sorry). I paid more for the tool at a local range store and did the job that day. Looks good - weighs more, and I need to spend some time learning how to use it "smoothly".
Best regards.

I bought an ATI for end tool and it was only like $15. I can't count the times I've used that tool. It's paid for itself 20 Times over by now. Having a few gunsmith tools isn't a bad thing.
