Perfect tool

This is a must have tool to properly fasten the front sight to the pistol. It fits the mounting screw perfectly, and is magnetized to keep the screw in place when installing.

Glock perfection

I had another expensive front sight tool that would not work on a Trijicon HD XR Night Sight because the front sight screw was too short for the tool. The front 1/32" of the tool is plain and not hexed. The Glock front sight tool is hexed to the tip and the screw only sits half way into the hex head. It is held in place by the magnet. So when I tightened the screw into the front sight I was able to exert full pressure and contact on the screw to tighten it down. The Glock tool head did not touch the metal before the screw head was tightened. Other front sight tools may be cheaper but you get what you pay for. This tool is perfect and worth the money. In another life I was a LEO Glock armorer.

Did the job perfectly!

Great product, has plenty of grip in case the screw is stuck plus it's small enough that I tucked it behind the foam in my gun case. I'm a little tempted on buying a second in case I lose the first.

Glock Front Sight Tool

This tool fit perfectly. I tried a hex head driver but it wouldn't fit in the space. Worth purchasing.

glock front sight hex tool

best tool to tighten that little headed screw. magnetic holds screw in so you can start the screw in the threads. makes it easy to apply good pressure to screw and will last very long time. a little expensive but it is the best out there for the job.

Expensive junk.

Plastic to metal interface broke with first use. The metal tip is well made. Useless now. For this much money make it out of all metal.
