[QUOTE="KY_Windage, post: 1759924, member: 108082"] Have you watched this video? It is well worth your time if you are getting a Banish. [MEDIA=youtube]K5q3y019pEg[/MEDIA] Here is my Banish maintenance kit: [IMG]https://ultraimg.com/images/2019/11/21/tpRS.jpg[/IMG] 1. Ratchet with T-45 (torx) tool. SC did NOT supply any T-45 tool with my Banish. I think they should on such a large purchase (and you definitely will need one), but I had to go buy one. I had a lot of torx tools but not a 45. You don't need the ratchet -- a simple L-shaped T-45 wrench like the one in the video will work fine. I just wanted to have a small ratchet with me anyway. I do not see it is at all necessary to glue the end-cap removal key to the T-45 (as in the video) but it would not hurt to glue it. 2. Spare O-rings, FDA Silicone O-rings, 1-1/8" ID x 1-1/4" OD. Pack of 50 is $8 on eBay, which is about a 50-year supply. :) 3. Chop Stick. This is what I use to push the fouled baffles out of the tube. I suppose you might need the $50 tool SC sells for this if you went long enough w/o cleaning, but I never go more than 500 rounds or so (and then only when shooting p-dogs) w/o cleaning, and the chop-stick has always worked fine. 4. Homemade expansion sleeve removal tool. The video says to just leave the sleeve in and let it get cemented in place with carbon, but what if my suppressor ever gets dunked in water? Nah, I want it to come out for cleaning every time, so I made the pictured tool. Having the sleeve out makes re-assembly simpler, too. I can SEE that the baffles and sleeve are together correctly before I slide the tube down onto the stack. The black rubber washers, nylon washers, carriage bolt, nuts and steel washers are available at hardware stores like Lowes. The rubber washers are bigger than the ID of the tube, so when forced in they grab the sleeve and easily pull it out, even when the suppressor has been thoroughly fouled with carbon. The piece of PVC pipe makes sure the steel bolt never touches any part of my suppressor. The nylon washers, which are slightly larger in OD than the steel flat washers, make sure the steel washers never touch the tube. I have to be careful when getting the rubber washers started into the tube, but all in all it works great, though USUALLY I do not need it because the wooden fork/paper towel (discussed below) grabs the sleeve and pulls it out just fine. The tool is needed only with I go a long time between cleanings. 5. Wooden salad fork. When I place a folded paper towel over the fork, it just fits into the tube, and into the sleeve.

Not pictured are the vinegar, pot and camp stove for boiling the vinegar OUTDOORS. You don't want to boil vinegar in your kitchen. :). The vinegar costs about $2/gallon at hardware stores, Walmart, etc. Now, with an 11-month wait time, you will have plenty of time to build your Banish maintenance kit, so you will be ready when it arrives. You're going to love it. [/QUOTE]
