Description
Anyone who has tried to strip a Glock magazine with a screwdriver, a bench edge, or the little factory tool knows the drill: the plate fights you, the spring wants to launch, and you end up with scuffed or bent mag bodies. The TangoDown Floor Plate Removal Tool for Glock takes all of that frustration out of the picture. It is built specifically for the job, using the correct angle and leverage to slide a floor plate off the mag body cleanly instead of prying and cursing.
The design is what sets it apart. The angled handle lets you cradle the magazine and squeeze the tool like a pair of pliers, so you are working with controlled pressure instead of stabbing at the plate. A longer engagement peg keeps it from slipping out mid-stroke, and the stabilizing cross-member on the handle helps hold everything in position as you draw the plate off. The result is quick, repeatable disassembly that does not deform the mag or leave marks behind.
What the TangoDown Floor Plate Tool Works With
This tool is made to remove floor plates on Glock OEM magazines from Gen 1 through Gen 5. It handles the standard double-stack mags most owners run day to day. Note that it is not made for the finger-rest style floor plates found on the Glock 30/30S, 36, and the older 42/43 mags, and it is not recommended for the G43X and G48. If your mags fall outside those exceptions, this tool covers you.
Built to Live in Your Range Bag
Injection molded from tough nylon and finished in matte black, the GFRT-01 is compact enough to toss in a range bag, toolbox, or pistol case and forget about until you need it. It is cheap insurance against ruined magazines, and once you have used one you will wonder how you cleaned your mags without it. Keep a couple around so there is always one within reach when it is time for maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Glock magazines does the TangoDown floor plate removal tool work with?
It is designed for Glock OEM magazines from Gen 1 through Gen 5, which covers the standard double-stack mags most owners run. It is not made for the finger-rest style floor plates on the Glock 30/30S, 36, or older 42/43 mags, and it is not recommended for the G43X or G48. For everything else in the OEM lineup, it works great.
Will this tool damage or mark up my magazines?
No, that is the whole point of it. The tool uses the correct angle and just enough leverage to draw the floor plate off the mag body cleanly, which avoids the deformed holes and scuffs you get from prying with a screwdriver or the factory tool. It is a much gentler process on your mags.
What is the TangoDown floor plate tool made of?
It is injection molded from tough nylon and finished in matte black. That keeps it light and compact enough to live in a range bag or toolbox without adding weight. Because it is inexpensive, plenty of folks keep more than one on hand so there is always one nearby at cleaning time.
How do you use the TangoDown floor plate removal tool?
You cradle the magazine and squeeze the tool against it like a pair of pliers, letting the peg engage the floor plate and slide it off. It takes a little practice the first time, but most people get the hang of it after a mag or two. Just keep your fingers clear of the spring tension as the plate releases.
