I admit to being a gadget guy and I love tools... especially specific tools with a particular purpose that they work perfectly for. I have started to build up some Glock armorer tools and wonder what kind of tools the rest of you use.
So far, my Glock armorer tools are fairly basic and mostly made by Glock. But I'll start out with what I have. Most of my Glock modifications so far are changing the sights.
Below is the new Glock front sight tool with a magnet in the tip. It is very helpful because the magnet keeps the screw from falling out and getting loctite all over stuff. It is expensive, but it also works on all Glocks, while some front sight tools do not work on long slide Glocks - Vol gave me the tip on this - Thanks!

Next is the MGW #309 sight installation tool for Glock sights with sloped sides. Most Glock sights have sloped sides, so buying a sight alignment tool is a good value if you plan to change sights often.
I bought my sight installer from Rick at AmeriGlo. Rick is a good guy to deal with and a Glock.pro sponsor, plus you can get your AmeriGlo sights and the installer tool at the same place.

Below is a standard Glock Disassembly tool. It's pretty cheap and very useful. I got mine at a gun show, but lots of places carry them.

That's about it for my Glock armorer tools, but I know lots of you guys probably have some cool stuff... maybe a punch set... or a hammer that's good for gunsmithing... or a pistol vise... or special brushes...
Vol - I know you have to have some trick armorers tools... Don't let me down!
