Many thanks for showing the proper methods to move sights. Though long retired from my gunsmith business, I'll still work on friend's weapons. There's a similar vice-like tool in my little shop. It's the only way to go!
I have the same device that is Wheeler Engineering branded and have used it dozens of times with good results. Good job explaining how these work. Some sights will be tighter and require more force to turn the crank than the Glocks in the video did, but they will go. Its important to get the pusher as low on the side of the sight as you can without hitting the slide or some sights may want to lift (torque upward) in the dovetail - not good.
I was relying on a brass punch and a hammer but I have purchased one of these Accucraft Sight Pushers and just wanted to get anothers observations on it. Thanks for the walk through.
What a great tool! When I've put my slide on a vise, I've always been concerned about scratching or warping it. This will prevent that. And it looks pretty precise too.
That is a great tool to have, I'm glad for ya, I don't have any tool that requiers one, but if I ever get one I'll sure keep it in mind, And I'd like to thank you again for the .22lr & WMR test yesterday, That is some very valuable information and I took notes and screenshots, BTW, I have a box of Stingers, It came as 4 boxes of 50, in a bigger box and on the side of the big box it says 1395 FPS from a 6" barrel, well we all know now that it ain't so, and as I said before I told my Sister about using your link to Amazon and she agreed. Stay Safe and thanks again Brian. 👍
Neat little tool. Glad you spent time to figure out the best ways to use it correctly. That's saves buyers any issues. Price is inexpensive for what you get in return. Nice. 👍 🇺🇸
@@ToolsandTargets I was going to ask if it worked on left handed slides as well as right handed but that might have started something. 😂😂 Could have used it on my XD to put night sight on the front. I gave up with a punch & took it to a Smith who had trouble pushing it out. Good item.
Watched this video again to set up my sight pusher I opened it on Christmas but just set it up Thanks for the tips buddy saved me a lot of time instead of figuring it out for myself. It really is a quality tool.
Excellent tool for gunsmiths. It is better to use a sight pusher so we do not damage the frame. I recently mailed my slides to a gunsmith to remove the rear sights & add an optics plate to my Ruger SR 22 and S&W EZ 380 Performance Center. At this time, Ruger SR22 and S&W EZ 380 are not optics ready. I saved a lot of money with the conversion kits. Galloway Precision and Outer Impact sells these conversion optic plates. The Custom Shop (gunsmith) in Halworth, NY will do the conversions for a small fee by mail.
I just ordered this from Amazon. Looking forward to using it your video helped me decide which sight pusher I wanted. This one looks like a great value! Thanks 👍
Good looking sight tool. Especially if you change a lot of sights on many guns. I like you have used a vice and punch for many a pistol. Thanks for the video and information.
I have one, but it's s Woloveevo I got off Amazon. It looks just like yours, even the same color. I'm gonna use it to remove the rear sight from my G19 so I can install a plate to mount my Vortex Venom Red Dot sight to.
Awesome video sir!! greatly appreciated. I was actually looking for something like this & you came out with this. I definitely be following the link and order one. Thank you for the instruction, have a great day and stay safe
@@ToolsandTargets I plan on getting into it myself first with pistol ammo and then graduating to rifle ammo figure I'd go with the rcbs rebel since it seems to be built like a tank and pretty simple
I have the Wheeler version and many times I have had to apply tension with the knob then tap the black steel part with a a small ball-peen hammer to move the rear sights on some pistols.
First one I ever seen. Nice demonstration, very informative. Good job. May have to consider one of those. I usually use a gun tool kit hammer and brass punch. The punch don’t mark the sight up. If you take it easy. Thanks for sharing. Good stuff once again. Be safe 😎🇺🇸😎
Looks very nice. BUT the pusher blocks are too wide to get into the dovetail. Your pushing the top of the sight into the slide. If you get the tooling into the dovetail you get a straight push. I've got a cheep ~$30 pusher but it get down onto the dovetail and does a great job IF you get everything into the fixture right.
You can get all the way down to within a hair of the surface of the slide. that's more than enough to get the sight installed straight and correct. I've put on tons with this.
Bit of a process to get it all set up the right way, but it really is the best way to do it. It sure beats a punch and a hammer. Have a good one brother see you on the next one.
I have had this same tool (under the GOWQUAS brand name) for about a year. It is identical to the one in this video except that it has a steel pusher screw handle and did not have that extra nut. Same price on Amazon. Only used it a few times but it did do the job. I like that it works without needing specific adapters for most guns. I have had to assist it with a few taps from a hammer and punch on extremely tight rear sights. Overall it has most of the capability of much more expensive tools. I think I might actually prefer this one here because the steel handle on mine is not very comfortable.
I would say worth every penny, especially with that 20 off code, nice! After installing 3-4 sets of sights that would give you great peace of mind to not damage your investments trying to upgrade sights and end up scratching or marring up your finish! 👍I like the precision markings on it and you can flip that jig over for flat sided sights! Good stuff thanks!
Very cool tool that I wish I had when I replaced the sights on my Canik. But to buy one just to replace the sights on my one pistol would be overkill. Great for someone that works on lots of guns. You should have seen me trying to use a brass punch, cork, cloth, plastic and my tack hammer, trying to hold it all in place, trying different things while gently tapping the sights out and in. Fumbling around. Dropping my tools. 🤦🏼♂️ Dang near took me 2 hours. But I got it done. This would have been so much easier!
I know exactly what you mean. I've put together a few P80's and always meant to buy one of these but would always forget until I need one again.😆 It'll come in handy to swap some night sights onto a few of my pistols that don't have em yet.
WOW! That is one fancy sight pusher. I have a pusher but nothing that fancy. Imma have to look into getting one of those. Looks real easy to use. Thanks Tools 👍 Stay safe God Bless ✌️🇺🇲
Just use a brass punch instead of a steel if your plastic one doesn't work. Awesome video. Lol I'm a gunsmith and have been looking for a new sight tool. Thanks for the info!
Nice tool Tools, sorry couldn't resist that one. Someone in the business or who had a lot of firearms they want to change sights on, it would be a benefit. But for someone who's not changing sights on a regular basis I'm not so sure about the cost effectiveness. I will say I like seeing these kinds of instructional videos as well as the ammo & firearm test. Be vigilant, be safe.
Thank you sir. I would have loved this thing when I was putting together P80's. It's gonna come in handy to stick some night sights on a few things now.
I used a steel punch and a hammer a few months ago. It worked, but marred up the sight some. Good thing it was a cheap front sight for my nightstand gun. I came looking for a vid on this cuz there's a guy in Texas Gun Trader wanting 75 bucks for his. I can get get it new with free shipping for 60 on ebay. How do you make sure you are directly in the middle?
Speaking of sights. I got my new AR iron sights today from NOS EXA GROUP - The Alpha and Omega tangent sight system. They are 3D printed from an extra harden 3D filament. It is definitely something that I was excited to purchase and use on my firearm.
@@ToolsandTargets Yea, I don't get excited about to much when it comes to newer things. However, the simplicity, durability, along with being something that isn't the same old thing was extremely interesting to me. So after seeing another TH-camr demonstrate using them, I definitely wanted to give them a try. Since they remind me of some sights I remember on a M1 garand which I believe is what I they are based off of if memory serves me correctly.
@@ToolsandTargets Well I definitely felt like this sighting system was worth it to me. Plus I believe when I spoke with then they stated this sighting system had a warranty.
That sir is a very cool tool! Those hands look familiar, you do any modeling for Palmolive in the past? JUST KIDDING!!!! Cool little gadget. I want to move the rear sights ever so slightly on my XD but don't want to beat on it with a hammer!
You musta been lookin over my shoulder last wk sir🙈😂. Over the years i kept tellin myself i was gonna get one but i kept on bein cheap lol. I'd always dress my sights and use a brass punch and check centering with calipers but yea i'd much rather have this.
Definitely looks like Accucraft engineered a sturdy and thorough tool Tools. I need to resolve to budget my funds for a sight tool, seriously tired of holding my mouth just right
@@ToolsandTargets Yeah I’ve been through the ringer with those idiots myself they finally change the design I had one that cracked before I even used it along the rail before that they sent me the wrong caliber and I can’t even remember what happened to the one before that total junk

thanks i just bought one to put TruGlow sights on .. this video was very informative....and gave step by step instructions
I bought one, worth every penny. Changed out front site to fiber optic on my 365XL…getting ready to do my 1911.
Heck of a lot better than beating a punch.
I was relying on a brass punch and a hammer but I have purchased one of these Accucraft Sight Pushers and just wanted to get anothers observations on it. Thanks for the walk through.
I like to thank you for the demotion. just got my push tool in & getting ready to put it to work on Glock & 365xl slide.
What a great tool! When I've put my slide on a vise, I've always been concerned about scratching or warping it. This will prevent that. And it looks pretty precise too.
Same here. Either that or I would always sweat bullets worrying about slipping with a punch and scratching the slide.

It's a block to connect to the aircrafts' pedals so short people can fly.
hey, now! what they tryin' to say by sending you that pusher?!!! hehehe!
@@TexasDog3 hahahaahaa!
It’s a great tool I got one just like it and had it for 5+ years and have used it to install 40-50 night sights. I love it! Great tool.
Yessir. A solid piece.

Have a sight pusher I’ve used several times over the years, handy to have around. Nice looking new tool Tools! Thanks for sharing.

Where did you buy your backplate from?
that will definitely make life easier to change sights. appreciate another great video keep them coming
Thank you sir. It's a good one.😎👍
Good looking sight tool. Especially if you change a lot of sights on many guns. I like you have used a vice and punch for many a pistol. Thanks for the video and information.
I sure would have loved this when I was building all the P80's.
Just got one for Christmas. Looks solid. Can't wait to use it. My rear sight on my LCP Max needs go a little to the right.
So much better than trying to smack em with a punch and hammer and risk scratching stuff up.😎👍
I have one, but it's s Woloveevo I got off Amazon. It looks just like yours, even the same color. I'm gonna use it to remove the rear sight from my G19 so I can install a plate to mount my Vortex Venom Red Dot sight to.
How did the Woloveevo work out?

Reminds me , I need a set of punches , tools & ammo.
😎👊
Awesome video sir!! greatly appreciated. I was actually looking for something like this & you came out with this. I definitely be following the link and order one. Thank you for the instruction, have a great day and stay safe

I bought a Glock 19x, I can’t remove the back sight with this tool.
Hmmm. Should just be pressed in like all Glocks.🤔
@@ToolsandTargets The new 19x mos comes with iron sights. It’s too hard to push the sight out.
Really sweet little tool to have. I wish I'd known about this when I was trying to drift my Springfield site. Thanks T.
Absolutely.😎👍
Great video 📹 still excited to see you go over the reloading process that you have found works best
Thank you sir. It sure aint the process I've been using, or you would never have any ammo.😆
@@ToolsandTargets I plan on getting into it myself first with pistol ammo and then graduating to rifle ammo figure I'd go with the rcbs rebel since it seems to be built like a tank and pretty simple
I have a vism sight pusher. Love it. Punshing sights is miserable work.
A pusher makes it a whole lot easier for sure.
Just got mine in. Can’t wait to try it.
Nice. It's solid as a rock!
Good demo. I will take a close look at that tool.
