The tool needed to squeeze the sides of the mag is similar to a slip joint wrench but bigger than the usual tool found around the home or shop.

Here's my absolute BEST and most useful two-part advice for disassembling Glock magazines.
1. FORGET ABOUT SQUEEZING THE SIDES OF THE MAGAZINES!
2. COMPLETELY IGNORE THE RETENTION TABS ON THE SIDE OF THE MAGAZINE!
You don't need to do it, it's hard, and it doesn't really help anything. The floorplates will come off just fine without squeezing the sides of the magazine. Just ignore the tabs completely and follow the instructions I provided in my earlier posts. Nothing will be damaged and after the first time, the floorplates come off much more easily.
To recap.
Don't squeeze the magazines.
Don't worry about the tabs.
PS.
Don't worry about squeezing the magazines during disassembly, it's not required.
PPS. You don't need to concern yourself with the retention tabs.
PPPS. Ignore the tabs and don't bother squeezing the magazines. Yes, REALLY!
