The internet has given voice for the incredibly stupid people -
I bought an AK sight tool off Amazon for $5 that included shipping. Just thought it would be easier to use at the range when sighting in. -
You can use needle-nose pliers for the elevation post and for windage you can use a hammer and a punch.
You'll have more control with a legit sight AK sight tool.
Little story, I purchased Tapco sight tool after I busted my UTG AK sight tool trying to adjust the windage on my front sight as rust, cosmoline or something had pretty much welded it shut. After breaking the UTG I got some PB blaster per a recommendation by a member on THR, saturated the front sight windage area, left it for two hours then applied the Tapco tool. I still needed a crescent wrench for leverage in order to finally pop it. This was on my Draco. My Arsenal is newer and never had any issues like that. So it depends on the age or condition of your AK.
"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks & corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs."

Hard to beat that price for the right tool. You don't need to crank on it with a wrench either. My method for a real stubborn windage drum is to get it as tight as I can by hand, and then give it a sharp rap with a small brass hammer. That load and shock method will extend the life of your tool vs. just cranking on it.sigpicOriginally posted by Dr. ElkyOriginally posted by CSACANNONEERComment

I will never use another AK front sight tool now that I have the ultimate. It is simply sublime: http://www.dillonprecision.com/conte...djustment_Tool
