Not strong enough
This tool is very convenient for adjusting that pain in the rear front site post, however, the prongs keep breaking. I have gone threw two of these so far. Some broke off while adjusting, the others in the padded compartment in my range bag.

Might work with a little grinding
The elevation end works the front sight OK. The windage end does not have enough prong length to retract the index pin. gonna have to get the Dremel out...

Too Short!
I'm sure this works fine on most AR sights, but not my new A.R.M.S. 71F front sight. The narrow barrel is too short to reach the detent because the knurled body hits the sight blades and stops right there. It just needs to be a bit longer, or the bevel at the shoulder needs to be narrower to make it a useful tool for some of the newer sight styles currently on the market.
