Fast, Easy, Precise Elevation & Windage Adjustments On A Broad Range Of AKs
Hardened steel tool enables fast, easy, precise windage and elevation adjustment on a wide variety of Kalshnikov-type rifles. The full-circle clamp is far stronger than generic C-clamps for secure, positive contact with the sight tower to adjust the sight for windage. Viewing port in the circle clamp gives you a clear view of the drum for perfect alignment. Remove the T-handle from the circle clamp and use it as a wrench to adjust the sight post for elevation. Sliding handle lets you select the length that gives you the right amount of leverage in either mode to get even a “frozen” sight to move. No extra tools required. Standard model fits AK-47 and clones. Gunsmith model has a larger circle clamp to fit all sizes of front sights, and a longer handle for extra torque to move the stubbornest sight.
SPECS: Steel. Fits AK-47, AKM, AK-74, RPK-47/-74, commercial Saiga rifles, and most Eastern Bloc AK variants and clones. Standard – 1¾" (4.4cm) O.D., ¾ " (cm) thick, with 4½" (11.4cm) long handle. Gunsmith – 2¼" (5.7cm) O.D., 1" (2.5cm) thick, with 6½" (16.5cm) long handle.

Last AK-47 Sight Tool You'll Ever Buy(9/12/2012)
Really a great tool I had one other typical tool that broke. This tool is incredibly solid and smooth operating. You'll be very happy with the choice. Don't experiment and waste your money. Go for this first and get it over with.
Dont waste your money on others(3/21/2013)
I used other (cheap) front sight tools which flexed, bent, then ultimately snapped. This is not one of those. The handle is strong and provides enough leverage to unstick stubborn front sights. The housing is rock solid. If you shoot iron sights with an AK, then this is a MUST have piece of equipment.
Broke on first use(2/3/2014)
I read the reviews and decided to spend the extra $ for the "unbreakable AK47 sight tool". The first time i used the elevation adjuster it snapped one side off. Granted my front sight post was very tight, but i bought this tool so that it would stand up to this type of thing. The windage part of the tool seems very solid but i am very disappointed with this product. I will send it back and see if they'll send me another and i'll see how it works. Hopefully i just got a dud.
Great Tool(4/27/2015)
After recently purchasing an AK-47, I found that the front sights were way out of alignment. After reading reviews and searching web sites, I bought this tool. It works perfectly. Well worth the money. It's a must have.
A must if you have an AK47(3/30/2016)
This will be the last sight tool you will need for your AK47. The person here that broke his, had to do something wrong. Just make sure you have it seated right and square.
good but(7/19/2017)
keep in mind, this tool is only long enough to "move" the sight, not completely "remove" the sight. You will have to rig your own setup if you need to remove a front sight drum.
solid piece(11/24/2018)
bought this because I bought a smaller front sight post for my Arsenal SGL31 and the cheap tapco tool I bought years ago snapped in about 30 seconds of wrenching on it. being this was my first time really tinkering with the AK platform, sights at least, I didn't realize they put them in so tight lol. ordered this because of the good reviews and by just looking at the beefiness of it. opened up that package, threw it over the sight post and literally gave it minimum effort and it was broke loose in about a half of turn. very happy, especially due to the price and lack of times I'll actually use it, but worth every penny. even tried out the elevation for sh&ts and giggles just to see if it worked as easy, yup moved the drum without a problem.

This is an excellent tool and beautifully machined. The elevation tool is bell-shaped (not tapered as pictured by Brownells). While the design keeps the tool from slipping off the front sight post, it interferes with the sight 'shroud' on my SAR-1 when adjusting elevation AFTER windage. [Yes, the windage is that bad on my rifle!] I still give it five stars because of the tool quality and adjusting elevation BEFORE windage would be smarter.
AK front sight tool that works(9/13/2019)
Prior to buying this I had broken two of the cast Tapco style front sight tools. I thought my front sight was possibly frozen in as the second tool broke after soaking the sight in kroil for a day.
Bought the magna magic, one little turn with little torque and the sight easily moved. Buy once cry once is truly what this is.
If you have an AK or SKS this is the tool that actually works.
