Does anyone manufacture a front sight tool worth owning?

Leatherman.
Small screwdriver head fits perfectly, and you get a host of other tools at the same time.
No gimmick, multiple purpose gear that works

I used a larger nail to move mine. I tried to use the tip of a bullet but couldn't get it to move because the tip wasn't able to push the detent pin down far enough.

I recently picked up a Multi Tasker Series 3. It's definitely worth having.

Used my dremel to shorten and round out the edges of the prongs on a Troy sight adjustment tool. Works great now. Was impossible to use originally.

What do you need to do? Adjust your front sight post or remove it? I adjust mine by using the tip of a round. If I had to remove it I would use one of my pin/roll pin punches. I personally don't use a front sight tool and remember the only one I have ever used one of the prongs bent, it sucked.

I just use a standard troy one and I haven't had any issues with it

My local pawn shop had one believe it or not.

Brownell's A1/A2 AR-15 Sight Wrench ($16.99) works well for me. Small, light, and strong. I have used it on several different rifles so far without any marks.
