Long story short, this tool works great and is a quality built product! I have used this tool to change out the front and rear sights on 3 different pistols (Jericho 941, CZ 75, CZ 83). Using this tool is easy but I do have several recommendations to avoid any problems.
A few people have reported that the 2 screws that hold the reversible sight pusher component can have their hex fastener hole easily stripped. To avoid the chance of this happening I purchased replacement screws that use a basic slot screwdriver so the screws can now easily loosen with no worries of stripping out the hex fastener hole. If you want to get replacement screws here is specification for them: M5 .80 x 20mm
The contact points which hold the slide and move the sights are made of metal so this means there will be metal on metal contact between the tool and firearm. To avoid any possible scratching or marring of the firearm I acquired a few pieces of leather to put them between any metal on metal contact. Doing this worked well as I had no wear on the pistol or sights when I was done changing them out.
Be very careful when vertically positioning the sight pusher so it can push the sight out/in without gouging the slide as it moves horizontally to remove or install the sight. I read a few accounts of people not paying attention and putting a sizable scratch on the slide.
Before each use of the tool oil the threads which move the sight pusher horizontally. This will reduce wear and tear on the tool over repeated sight removal uses.
My Verdict: I am kicking myself for not buying this tool a lot sooner. It would have saved me a lot of grief. Price for it varies so do a good search for the best deal. I got mine from Gun Broker for about $130. Worth every penny.
