I believe that you can use the tip of one of the 5.56 rounds to adjust the front sight. I believe I saw that a long time ago in one of the Army field manuals. It showed an illustration of a soldier using a round to adjust the rear sights on the M16A1, and I believe the front sight as well.

Worked fine for me using an unfired round.. I suppose if I was working the front sight up and down twice a day it would be a different story, but anything that'll get in there and depress that little pin without scratching hell out of your finish is "the right tool" I'd say.

I used tweezers.

I took a spent round, ran a piece of electrical tape over the case mouth, cut x wise slits in the tape over the hole and pushed the tags inside the case. Works like a charm, and no scratches on the sight.

Yea using a round is slow but it works. I will try some other things too. Thanks.

A small finish nail will work better than an unfired round. It fits down in there to depress the detent better and you're not messing up a good bullet.

To spin the sight post after the detent pin has been depressed, push the eraser end of a pencil straight down onto the post so that the post tip sticks into the eraser. Then spin it with the pencil. This is especially good for large changes.
