We present the practical experiences and results obtained in the manufacturing of tools and equipment needed for handling the telescope mirrors, the corrective process of the operation, and the maintenance of the 1.3m Colibrí telescope. These tools and equipment include those used for mounting and dismounting the M1, M2, and M3 mirrors, as well as the DDRAGO/CAGIRE instrument of the Colibrí telescope, from the observing room to the ground level outside the building, and to the vacuum chamber for aluminization of the mirrors. This also includes tools to balance the instrument and those used in the cleaning process of the mirrors. Our designs addressed the challenges of handling and maintaining the components in the limited space available in the building and at the dome of the Colibrí fast alt-az telescope.
