What is the BROWNELLS - 1911 FRONT SIGHT STAKER?

The Brownells Front Sight Staker makes front sight staking effortless, faster and far more accurate. Using an improved, offset punch design efficiently directs the full force of the hammer blow downward against the sight tenon. The hardened "V"-shaped tip easily displaces both wide and narrow tenons for a great-looking, tight-fitting front sight that won't shoot loose. It has a large square shaft that is easier to hold, see, and hit so there's less chance of a missed hammer blow striking your customer's expensive slide.

Looks very well made.....
I had a home made one, but it was made from a suppressor wrench and blunt. The hardened bit on this design is the cats pj's. I'm waiting on sights but I've been doing this long enough to know- this thing is gonna make staking A LOT easier. Very happy with it.
