Great tool!!

It’s nice to see reasonably priced specialty tools. This was 10-11 bucks. For that price it wasn’t worth my time to make one. Might never use it again but it did work like a charm when I needed it.

Would you recommend this? Yes, I would recommend to a friend

A2 rear sight tool

Exactly what I needed after destroying the 1st spring trying to use a screwdriver. Ordered this tool and a new spring. Went right in. Every job is easy if you have the right tool.

Just what I needed

Made the installation on the A2 elevation spring easy! Great option to the much more expensive tools on the market.

Works perfectly

Only does one thing, but does it perfectly! The exact right tool for the job - no monkeying around
