I have a Samson Hk style front sight and my front sight tool won’t fit within the two front sight posts. Does anyone know of a thin stem tool? I’m using the standard metal tubular version now.

Brownells has this one  https://www.brownells.com/tools-cleaning/general-gunsmith-tools/wrenches/ar-15-sight-wrench/



Another option is the Fix It Sticks sight bit  https://store.fixitsticks.com/collections/ar/products/a2-front-sight-bit

Make your own

Note the square hole on the end of this toothbrush handle. Drill a 1/16: hole, then heat a spare front sight post and stick it in to form a perfect "socket" wrench for square front sights.

The only sight tool I've seen that actually fits is the Magpul one that's provided with their sight. Of course the newer ones don't require a tool. The simplest and easy route is to either make your own, use a couple small punches-or so nobody steals yours, use a couple small finish nails. The finish nails were great for large mil classes, a $2 pack from the hardware store and who cares if you get them back.

Gov't ink pen or something similar with a metal tip. Unscrew the housing and press the metal tip onto the front sight to form a square.
Use it to spin and a pin punch for the plunger.
