AR-15 SIGHT WRENCH Reviews & Ratings

AR-15 SIGHT WRENCHES

Precision machined from tough, stressproof steel with square-profile fingers that grip the sight notches firmly and won't "roll out"; provides easy, exact sight adjustment. Plus, they resist bending and breaking to give years of service. Deeply drilled body fits both issue and tall blade sights. An extra-nice touch are the hex-shaped bodies; they're easy to grasp, easy to turn and won't roll off your bench. Three tools: A1 five-prong and A2 four-prong fit front and rear sights. A1/A2 is double ended to fit both five-detent A1 and four-detent, square blade, A2 front sights only. A2 wrenches also fit FN SCAR.

Works when used on the right sight.

I gave a scathing review of this tool below, but have learned a little more about it since and would like to revise my statement. I can't edit that review, so I'm adding another one. My front sight is a Samson and the fit of the post seems a bit tight. Moreover, I was adding a Trijicon tritium post and it's built a little differently than the standard one. The part of the post that this tool turns is taller on the Trijocon than the standard one and the prongs on the tool aren't long enough to depress the pin far enough to let the post turn, so this tool will not work on that sight. It will probably work okay on a standard post, as long as it's not too tight.
