Excellent. Unlike other videos regarding the Wheeler, Gun Bench gets it right re alignment of the slide and taping the slide to prevent any tool marks. The S&W M&P's sights are very tight (a good thing) and I've found that a drop of penetrating oil on the sight base makes it easier to both remove and install new sights. I would also recommend cleaning the sight grooves with a q-tip before installing the new sights.

I'm a certified gunsmith and Licensed FFL dealer. I have several different sight pushers I have tried over time. This sight pusher is the best one yet I have tried. Works perfectly for 1911 front sights. It's very well made and also works great for micro slides. So fat works on every style and make I've had to install sights on

🙌🏼 SOLD 🙌🏼 Thank you Sir! Wheeler for the 🏁

[@CMDR.Becker]

I just received my Wheeler sight tool, but the washers were not included. Thank you for sharing!

[@NWDucksNFish]

Nice!, now you need a tool to tighten up that watch!

[@hamzaalden6251]

i know Im quite randomly asking but does anybody know of a good site to stream newly released series online ?

[@maximilianorey6918]

@Hamza Alden I would suggest FlixZone. Just search on google for it :)

[@cri8tor]

Great tutorial. Thank you so much for taking the time to record, edit and upload your video. Keep sharing the knowledge. Cheers brother

[@SVTShane361]

Thanks! Just finished some sights on my M&P, worked out great!

[@fiacost3343]

Thank you Sir..it was a very helpful video/tutorial for me. I had to change the sights on a Beretta 92 (impossible to do with a puncher) and this tool did the trick for me.

[@GarySnow-m2h]

I love mine

[@AtomkeySinclair]

Great content. Thanks for the demonstration. I don't need to do this very often, but enough that I wish I had a tool to assist. I was about to get the "blue" one from Amazon until I noticed this one from Wheeler. Your video convinced me to give it a try.

[@ddd228]

WHY is the pusher thread left hand?

[@AtomkeySinclair]

@@ddd228 it's not. Depends how you approach the tool. If I understand the question.

[@AtomkeySinclair]

@@ddd228 I bought one and love it. It will let me go left or right taking out or installing rear sights.

[@Bodhi1satva]

Just purchased this same sight tool. Thank you for the instructional video! Have you ever thought of using any thread lock on the set screw?

[@jdglock9114]

M & P Rear Sight removal. I notice that you are applying the force above and behind the dovetail. Does that cause any problems seating the sight???

[@aarronher6369]

I bought one for changing Glock sight. Love it.

[@mtkoslowski]

Nice demo. Thank you.

[@garysnow3389]

I love mine, a great tool.

[@pablomoca]

Do you find that when your putting on a sight that the Pusher Block tilts up and you have to set up up lower to keep it from sliding off? My Pusher Block isn't tight on the tool it has some up and down movement. Is that normal with yours also? Good video and thanks.

[@904duval8]

I need one of these. I got one of the 19 dollar ones and changed the front sight on a p365 slide and it was a pain in the ass! I did it tho lol

[@niswii]

Would you suggest one siding the lower adjustments to make sure there's no possibility for the force to back the opposite side you're pushing towards out?

[@lenholt7419]

Have you done any 1911 sights? I understand SA has some pretty tight machine fit on their 1911's. I've considered purchasing a sight pusher, just didn't want to spend on a minimal use tool to me. I have a Garrison and an XDm. Both have sights I have not been happy with but trained around and modified with paint. The rear gets blacked and the fronts Orange or choice of color. They are just too small and narrow. I don't feel the need to change sights more than once or twice. The cost is tough when I could buy what 5 rounds for that? LOL Seriously though it looks like a good tool if I could justify the break even cost. My favorite Local Gun Smith charges about $35 to do this. To point out other examples. An AR15 armorers tool, Glock sight tool, and various files. These tools were purchased for essentially one time use. I'll keep an eye out for a good sale price. The knock off models look competitive with lower cost ones looking to be poor execution of function. Good Vid! Great information on this.

[@thereturningshadow]

One thing concerns me abot this tool. It says universal for all pistol types but by looking at how you slide just fit right into the lower part of the front sight because you have a short distance on your frame where the recoil spring is at. Many handguns have a longer distance and that bottom part of the frame will make the slide sit higher at the front than at the back when in the tool even with all four set screws snugged. And also that means if you place the bottom of the slide, at the rails part where it goes on the gun frame, is flat on the bottom of the tool lower, ten the front of the slide will stick out further and the pusher block will not line up with the sights.

[@nickluzzi8767]

Nice job . That watch has to go .

[@darkpassenger65]

I'm trying to decide whether to get the Wiregear sight tool or this one. Have you compared them? They look almost identical.

[@misterj1968]

I've run into quite a few different brand names of the same exact tool....did somebody fail to get a patent on the design

[@JD-tl7ld]

Why bother, they all come out of the same chinese factory. A very similar tool is the Lyman that is about 130 bucks and made in the USA.

[@locopoko6781]

dose that work for both front and back sight ?

[@STARMedic28]

Any idea of this will work on an HK USP?

[@brettkos3081]

I like using the outside flat face of the pusher for front sight posts or tough rear sights

[@David-rc8hp]

Have you tried hk handguns ??

[@brennonhector9397]

Will this work for ghost ring sights?

[@niswii]

I've never seen a stippled backplate that's actually kinda sexy.

[@robertfink1126]

Why cant the manufacturers make the clamp pads out of plastic or rubber instead of metal so thatvyou dont have to use painters masking tape to protect the slide from scratches. RIDICULOUS

[@tommcqueen3145]

It looks like you went the wrong way on the front sight 👍

[@wangallen439]

We are the manufacturer of this correction tool. Please contact me if you need it.

[@clee6746]

The hand crank mechanism is weak, the pushing block would cant when pushing the sight. This pusher is great for Glocks but nothing else. I found this expensive and pretty useless.

[@stevekatz4372]

Do It Yourself with a Glock Tool, a small metal file, a small hammer and some LocTite! If I can do it, so can you, without spending a lot of Money!

[@mikebell611]

How do you know if the slide is square to the dovetail? How do you know if the pusher block is not going to scrape the bluing off the top of the slide? All of the issues you have with this pusher, vice cutouts, with torque and slide lift, alignment, etc, in a professional setting, will cost you and piss off your customers... In the time it took just to align the slide and get every thing set up, I would have already been done with the job with the MGW Sight Pro which is made in America by gun owners.

[@TheGunBench]

I’ll agree I thought I pointed it out in the video defiantly not for a business more for a couple sights changed here and there over the years. I’ve been looking to get a MGW just haven’t jumped on it

[@firesharksar2250]

Well why don't you make your own video on the MGW instead of beating the Gun Bench up? He isn't claiming the Wheeler is the only tool out there, just the one he is using at the time.

[@mikewithers299]

Yup Gun Bench did mention that this tool is for occasional use not for a full time professional.

[@LJR_LIMITED]

this is junk for front sights. better get the real avid master sight pusher if you want to get the job done right.

[@danw7156]

Please, get to the point.
