Wiha 26547 3/16 Inch x 60mm Precision Nut Driver

Nick: I have been using this for over a year to replace the front sight on Glocks. There is no better way to reach the thin front screw. I took a small piece of paper and balled it up and stuffed it in the end on the driver, so the screw does not fall to the bottom. This allows the threads to stick up and you can easily catch the threads. This driver will last forever and there is not a better tool out there for changing the front sight. Even if you only have to use this once, you will be happy you purchased this.

Pat: This Wiha model 26547 is narrower than the 96547 model and fits into the Glock slide. The front edge isn't too chamfered so it does ok at gripping the thin head of the screw. I saw one tip to fill the socket well with silly putty, playdough, or RTV so the screw doesn't get to swallowed up. That tip might be helpful but it still worked without it. Wiha tools are high quality and this one is a good example.

R. Lott: This tool appeared longer and of high quality and I thought would work well for G43X front sight install. It worked fantastically. I understood that the socket may be too deep and difficult to get the screw started in the sight threads. My tools came slightly magnetized and picked up the screw from the bench and I was able to simply put screw on the threads of the sight and wiggled a bit to get the screw on top of the threads and into the socket. Turned the driver and the screw started and went straight in. I debated buying a front sight tool with magnet and shallow socket, but too many reviews where the socket did not fit or slipped. I imagine the majority of those tools work great. I picked the Wiha and glad I did. Very good tool and worked great for G43X front sight install. Very solid feel when tightening the screw, it did not feel like it was going to slip off the thin screw head at all.

ahelplessnun: Worked well for replacing my model 19 stock front sight. As mentioned in another review, you will need to add some filler inside the socket or else the thin headed nut you use to install aftermarket sights will drop all the way into the socket and not be able to start threading on your new front sight.
I just wadded a tiny bit of paper until the new nuts head was just seated in the driver. Once it starts threading, your home free.
A plus to buying this nut driver vs. a dedicated glock front sight tool is you can use it on other projects needing that head size ( multi-use ). I tinker in electronics, so another driver is always welcome.

Richard Banks: Works a treat, just the job for fitting a low profile backing plate to a half hight graphics card, or swapping a serial port - all my other tools are metric, but this is ideal for anyone building or repairing computers with their weird american-standard connectors.

C. King: This past Christmas I decided to surprise someone with a toy from their childhood, an old Fisher Price Music Box Record Player I found at a yard sale. It needed some help "playing" again and to do that I knew I needed inside the box.

This should have been easy as the box was only held together by 4 screws, however it wasn't so simple as it seemed.. the screws weren't traditional flat or phillips, instead they were hex heads. With the right tip that shouldn't have been an issue in itself... but the screws were mounted in deep depressions within the box, so no wrench end was thin enough to fit past the walls of the depression, and no attachments for adjustable tip screwdrivers were long enough to reach all the way down to the screw.

But after some time on Google I was directed to this very item from a tutorial on another website that dealt with this very problem. This tool worked perfectly! the shaft was not too thick as to get caught in the depression before it hit the screw, it also was more than long enough to reach it as well and still turn freely, and of course the fastener was correctly sized to the head of the screw.

If you are working on this or a...

Herky31: Wiha make great precision screwdrivers. No issues with this one. Used to install Glock front sights.
