I recently bought some nice front and back sights (Warren Tactical fiber optic) for my Glock...

I've found a buddy who helped me out to install back sights, but the person didn't have the glock FRONT sight tool.

I'm not the kind of person to use pryers on my Glock, so I decided to look around for a nice front sight glock tool.

Didn't found nothing on CGN retailers for the Glock tool. Ebay & Amazon sells them kinda expensive (30-40$)

So, I've looked around on a few forums and what I've found, is that you can buy a nice precision nut driver from the company Wiha, that makes the perfect tool for this kinda bolt (under front sight post).

So model is Wiha 265 (Part #26547).

Sold for only 7.26$!

I've found out that there's a canadian retailer for them, called DigiKey.ca, located in Manitoba. Shipping was really fast!

Here's the link, if you guys are interested: http://goo.gl/6P71x

Just looked it up. $10 to ship! Cheaper on ebay but you wait 10-14business days.

Yup, for people in the east part of the country, it cost around 10$... Brings the bill to 17,54$ tax included for me... Not bad to have it at your front door the next day! :p

Awesome! I made my own by turning down a socket but this is nicer! Thanks.

That's what I thought about first, but didn't have the proper tool to turn down mine...
So it was wayyyy easier and less time consuming to buy the tool for 8$.

You're welcome! ;)
 
Digikey is actually in Thief River Falls, MN, but they have a kick (posterior) rate on shipping to Canada,
including low charge customs clearance.

BTW, they also sell CR2032 and other lithium coin batteries for great prices, which are another accessory popular with firearm enthusiasts :)
 
Sweet, just picked one up. Thanks for the post.

I have a ####ty little one, but its hard to hold and tighten. This will be a useful addition to my range bag.

Their Canadian Warehouse is located in WINNIPEG, Manitoba... That's why the shipping was so fast! :p

I'm glad it helped you... Same for me, it will always be riding with me in the range bag! :D
 
Now...if someone could find a cheap alternative to the Glock REAR sight tool (pusher), I'd REALLY be happy. A hammer & punch is not recommended for Trijicon sight adjustments (glass ampoules, dontcha' know?), but I only have to move it about 1/2 a millimeter, and I don't want to spend $150 to do that...once.
 
Same here, took a socket from the set, turned it, cost nothing extra, had it in 5 minutes. Just a cordless drive, file and socket adapter.

Not sure if you notice on same post quoting 8 bucks and double that of $17.54 for same item. Canadians are bad at math :rolleyes:

Actually, you pay 7,26$ for the item only... Shipping could vary, depending on your location buddy! :p
If you live in Manitoba and pickup the item, it will cost you only 7,26$ + taxes, no shipping...
 
So update.... it was delivered today at 1145. From initial order to having the product in my hand was less then 23 hours. Now that is what I call fast shipping!! totally the worth the 8 dollars!

Thanks OP for the info!
