Does anyone make a tool to remove and press in the wedge pins on a standard sight tower?

If you are talking about the taper pins on the FSB, all you need is a punch, and a big f'n hammer.  I'm not aware of any tools specially designed to remove/install these pins.

A cup tip punch will keep from flatening out the pins.

yeah......I know about the punch method. I just figured someone would have come up with a specialty tool for this job by now.

There's the little FSB block that can assist in supporting it while hammering...

As far as a dedicated tool, by the time you set it up, you could have smacked out the pins the regular way.

Oh true for sure. I was simply asking. There are after all all sorts of specialty tools out there. Some, work well. Some just make money for the seller.

you would think a tool would have been made, but the roll pin punch and a hammer work way to easily.

I usually break them free with a brass punch and then drive them out with a regular punch.
