THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT Can someone recommend one that actually works without breaking the blood vessels in your hand? Any recommendations, please!

I got mine from midwayUSA, though I'm sure you could find it anywhere else. I think it cost me about $26, but it's worth the money. The front sight block on my SGL21 was crooked (as I understand is the case with lots and lots of AKs...), so it took me a minute to get it sighted it properly, and this thing not breaking on me really helped. |

I second the AKFST tool. I found one on Amazon a while back after seeing them suggested here. It is very strong and moved the site very easily on my SGL21-62. It is so nice having POI and POE the same now. |

The Polytech sight adjustment tools are beefy and nice too.
