the metal is real soft. it barely fits at an angle in my glock 19 and 22. The metal of the screw on my glock is harder than whatever this is made out of. I would not buy this again

OK, OK, I know what you thinking, what kind of review can a person do for a hex nut tool? Give me a break! And why should I spend more money for something I may use once? Well, that the point. As My father always said, "use the right tool for the right job"! And you know, he was right. Granted, this tool doesn't cost so much, and maybe you can get by using a really fine needle nose pliers or, as someone else I know tried, a pair of tweezers. If that is the route you wish to take . . . so be it. I will say you may encounter an issue with the above mentioned route. This tool made the installation of the Meprolight front sight on my Walther P99 a breeze. And now a friend asked me to install sights on his Glock. Well that too was a breeze. So, don't dismiss this tool, you may find you will be the life saver for someone else, or yourself when you buy another set of sights!!!

Would recommend:  yes

Tried to use on a Glock 27 sub-compact. The tolerances were too tight for this tool to fit between bolt and slide cutout. Ended up getting the Wheeler 89 piece gunsmithing kit with the Glock tool included. Wheeler sells the tool as well for 1/3 of the meprolight, as a stand-alone bit (any driver/handle should do).
