I just took a Mosin tool and ground it flat to have an accurate base and then ground in the appropriate depth notches. Stamped basic numbers to ID each slot. Pretty easy and seems to work just fine.

Yes I had read many a sad story of how guys bought a tool and sheared off the tangs the first time they used it. The guys on the forum wrote to soak the bolt in paint thinner overnight then give the tool a try. After ordering a firing pin tool from Gun Parts and paying $10.00 plus shipping I did just that and am happy to say my tool is still intact.
Its the combination tool that I'm looking to try a hand at reproducing although the firing pin removal tool looks a bit easier to fabricate. A lot less cutting and shaping. I guess a simple piece of flat stock with the appropriate depth of notches would be the easiest way to go. I think I have seen something like that while searching for a combo tool.
