So far, I've got:
- Rounded Smooth surface needle nose pliers
- 1/16" punch
- Rubber mallet
- Screwdrivers, including eyeglass set
- Hex key sets (metric & English)
- Large ziploc bags (to do work inside of)
- Small containers to hold small parts
- Small vise
- Solvents, lubricants
- Digital camera (to take before pictures).
Any other ideas ?

Depends on the Handgun Your Taking down, and how far your stripping the frame.On a 1911 you can strip the frame and slide down to where nothing but the plunger tube and sights remain attached, using nothing but the parts themselves as take down tools.

Looking over your list of tools, you might want to add a Chapman Screw driver set, a 10x Power Jeweler's lupe, a cleaning matt, a roll of paper shop towels, and some Q-Tips. If you want some good cleaning rods for handguns, the one piece Brass Rods from Dewey is available through Brownell's.

Oh Yeah; A bore light. All this is not necessary for take down but it will be handy if the gun is going to be cleaned and inspected.

Should have been more specific, I'm talking about down to the frame disassembly, maintenance and reassembly for the more common US brand name semi-automatic pistols.
Beretta, 1911 & variants, Glock, H&K, Makarov, Ruger, S&W, Sig, Steyr, etc.
After review of my kit I forgot:
- Magnifying glass
- Fingernail polisher (not emory board, the less abrasive one)
- Very light steel wool
- Toothbrushes
I see a lot of tools at gunshows that I've yet to need to take down a handgun.

I'll tell you what really comes in handy; And I found mine in my Mother's Cosmetic Case, that is a set of scissor type Twezzers, they're great for setting the disconnector and sear back in the 1911, or messing with some spring small springs. I found a small file set at Big Lots 8 years ago and I've been using it ever since, for everything from fitting grip safeties, thumb safeties, blending beavertails with the frame on the 1911s, to fitting grips on the Pythons.Those Nylon cleaning pads work real good too, for those stubborn cleaning jobs, as does the emery cloth; and the most useful tool of all is the Dremel, Life without the Dremel is not worth living. ;D
