oh nice, thanks alot guys!
the one from trade ex.. is it made out of a strong steel? because my front sight is REALLLY stubborn, and we've already broke my buddy's VZ58 front sight tool that it comes wtih trying to twist the front post..
and also, im pretty sure it is, but is the trade ex tool the 2 in one? for adjusting front windage and elevation?

Yes, it 2 in one, however my friend already broke his tool elevation adjuster piece with the stubborn SKS sight not willing to turn. So, I guess it's a not very strong steel.
Or, let's say - the Russian steel is stronger!

There have been many of these tools broken and bent beyond usefullness, trying to start the adjustment.Don't try to adjust when the sight hasen't budged in over 50 years.I start the adjustment out with a cheap C clamp with a block of notched wood.After it moves a little, then try the adjuster tool.Conversely if you adjust too much the sight mechanism becomes loose and defeats our purpose.It's best to set it once and then forget about it.

Spraying some kind of penetrating oil in beforehand, and letting it sit for a few days, helps tremendously as well.
didnt feel like waiting to get one shipped, so i made one
butchered up a phillips driver bit for the cordless drills, extremely strong tool steel, so i dont have to worry about that breaking. made that for the elevation adjustment tool, and for the windage i think i have a spare tie rod/ ball joint removal tool i can use to adjust that, its basically the same principal as the tool you can buy, its just a small press
done!
