Just wondering if anyone has used one of these and, if so, what you thought of it:

I have one. It works very well. Much easier than using a drift punch and a hammer.

Looks like a really good idea and tool...however, i think I'll just keep using what I've always used, either a brass welding rod I got from my Dad or the rim of an old 30/30 case. Ok, call me cheap, but if it works why change. Besides, given what's going on these days, I think I'd rather buy a case of pinto beans and tabasco instead. :?

Bill .. I was surprised the first time I used it. I was installing the front sight on the Rossi 92 that I cut down. Using the tool it did not feel like much .. not like whacking a brass rod with a hammer. I pulled it and let it fly a couple times fairly fast and it moved the sight further than I wanted! It is a vital part of my tool kit now!

I bought one after having trouble moving a stubborn sight. It works great and was well worth the money.

Only issue I saw was a friend's High Wall. He brought out his new WSD tool and pulled the plunger back to drift the sight to the right, and first hit sent the sight flying. Luckily we saw where it went, so found the sight. But it was pretty funny.

HA! I nearly did the same thing on the Rossi I was working on. The tool is more efficient than you would think.
