Does anyone know where to find those little tools that you use to pull the little things on the side (I think the technical name is "slide lock lever")?  Trying to pull both sides of that thing at the same time while pulling the slide back to the right spot is a huge pain in the butt (and fingers), especially for women with longer nails.  I saw a little tool once that clamps around the bottom of the gun and grabs on to both sides so you can very easily pull it down but I haven't been able to find one for sale anywhere.  It was just a small plastic thing that worked like your fingers would pulling the slide lock down but plastic so it's easier to do.

If anyone knows where they sell them could you post a link please?

Well yeah, but it doesn't make pulling those little slide lock things any easier.

I agree, well at least on my 27 Gen 3, it is a pia to grab those small, thin buttons. On my 2 week old 19 Gen 4 however, it is very easy to grab them. Glock must have increased the size a bit over the years.

Your approach is all wrong.

Don't spend money on take down tools to fix a bad design.
Fix the problem instead:
