Are you familiar with Fix It Kit for shooters?

Their glock front sight bit is excellent and like no other I've seen. It has a magnet in the tip so you dont drop the screw. Can't tell you how many times I had to find that damn little screw, reclean it and reapply loctite.

I have a glock front sight bit from either Brownells or Wheeler, fits in the 3/16 magna tip screwdrivers, which magnetizes the bit.

You really don't want to be putting too much pressure on that screw, a screwdriver mounted bit is just fine.

Brownell's makes a special tool for the Glock front sight: https://www.brownells.com/gunsmith-t...rod117628.aspx

It isn't magnetic, but one of these will slip over the shaft and make it so:

In addition, they are handy little things to have around if you do any driving with a drill/driver. I pick one up about every other time I'm at Home Depot.

If applying actual torque, believe it's only 6-8 inch pounds on that front sight screw.

I only have the glock front sight bit from fixit sticks, it was $8 and neat for what it is. I did not know Brownells makes a 3/32 nut driver bit.

True confession: I had not used the 25 inch pound bit; it was much in excess of 25 inch pounds! No cigar; I returned kit to distributor.
