All should be good; it's a piece of steel

Not true. A lot of them are terribly weak and will bend/snap at the first hint of torque. The new Tapco ones seems to have a good reputation

If you want one that will last forever and is built like they should be get a polytech set.Most of the cheap kits out there are crap.
Here is a link

some ak sight post can be frozen up tight as hell. So,I made a home made one out of  a left over piston from a kit. a two piece design.all it takes is a 4 1/2 " angle grinder with a thin cutting disc.  I cut off the head and leave a inch or so, of  the thin shaft that is cut to a u shaped -notch to slide over  the sight post. the piston head has a big notch in it where another left over chunk of the piston shaft is ground down flat to fit in the piston head.(T shaped) its rock solid and tough as hell and cost nothing,but a little time.


I made one just because alot of them are junk, and this design will loosen up even the most stubborn sight post

If you are somewhat handy with tools, you can build your own.

Try using a Chinese made tool to adjust the windage on a Warsaw Pact rifle. The sight drum is larger than the hole in the tool. Result? It doesn't work. Why? The tool is not designed for that rifle.
Next try using that tool to adjust the elevation on a rifle which has the post staked in place. Result? The soft steel gives way and the tool breaks. Why? Because not every piece of steel is the same as every other piece of steel.

I have one made out of titanium, it works real good and I don't have to worry about it breaking
