Overview
This 3-piece armourer's toolset covers the three jobs most Glock owners eventually need to do at the workbench: drifting the front sight, punching out pins, and levering the trigger housing pin free during a detailed strip. It is an unbranded, aftermarket set rather than a genuine Glock or Real Avid product, built to the same basic geometry as the factory tools at a fraction of the price. For a shop bench or a range bag, that trade-off makes sense — these are not precision-ground gunsmith tools, but they do the three repetitive tasks that every Glock owner runs into sooner or later.
The set is built around the classic hook-and-cutout front sight wrench, a slim steel punch with a moulded handle, and a brass-tipped rod tool with a hexagonal polymer grip for pushing out the locking block and trigger housing pins without marking them. Buyers who already own a full gunsmithing kit will find this a cheap way to add Glock-specific tools without opening a bigger set; first-time owners get everything needed to field strip, re-sight and maintain a Glock pistol in one small pack.
Because the finish and steel grade are not to factory spec, expect a tool that does the job reliably on the bench rather than one built for daily armourer use across dozens of pistols a day. It is priced and built as a home and range accessory, not a commercial gunsmithing tool.
Key Features
- Front sight wrench with a hooked cutout that grips the dovetailed front sight and lets you turn it out without resorting to pliers or a screwdriver that can chew up the sight blade.
- Slim steel punch with a comfortable moulded handle for drifting slide and frame pins clear during disassembly, sized to clear the pin holes on Glock frames without binding.
- Brass-tipped disassembly rod that depresses the locking block and trigger housing pins for field strip and spring-loaded bearing removal, the soft brass tip avoiding scratches that a bare steel punch would leave.
- All three tools pack away small enough for a range bag pocket or the bottom of a cleaning kit, so the set travels with the pistol rather than staying behind on a bench.
- Low cost entry point compared with genuine OEM Glock tools or branded multitools, useful as a spare or loaner set even if you already own the genuine article.

Fit & Compatibility
The wrench's hooked jaw is cut to the dovetail width used on Glock polymer-framed pistols across the Gen 1 through Gen 5 line, from the G17 and G19 down to the subcompact G26/G43 family, so one wrench covers the front sight on almost the whole range. The punch and brass disassembly rod work on the same pin sizes across the range too, since Glock has kept its locking block, trigger housing and trigger pin diameters consistent across generations. It is not sized for other manufacturers' dovetails or drift pins, so treat it as a Glock-specific set rather than a universal pistol tool kit.
Materials & Construction
The wrench is a single flat piece of steel with a stamped or machined hook, finished in a matte black coating rather than the bead-blasted stainless of the genuine Glock tool. The punch pairs a hardened steel pin with an injection-moulded handle for grip and knuckle clearance. The third tool uses a brass tip on a steel core, set into a hexagonal polymer handle that also doubles as a small flat driver tip on some batches — brass is deliberately softer than the steel pins it drives out, so it will not gouge or burr the pin ends the way a hardened steel punch can if it slips.
Care & Maintenance
A wipe with a lightly oiled cloth after use keeps the steel wrench and punch from surface rust, especially if they live in a range bag rather than a dry drawer. The brass tip on the disassembly rod will dull and darken with handling; a light polish restores the shine but is purely cosmetic and does not affect function. None of the three tools need lubrication of their own — they are used dry against the pistol's own lubricated pins.
Who It's For
This set suits a Glock owner doing their own field strips, sight changes and detail cleaning at home, a range that wants a cheap loaner tool for members, or anyone who wants a spare set to leave in a range bag so the good tools stay on the bench. It is not aimed at working armourers servicing pistols daily — for that volume of use, the genuine Glock OEM tool or a heavier gunsmith-grade set will hold up longer.
FAQ
Will this fit my Glock 19 Gen 5? Yes, the sight wrench and punch dimensions are common across Glock Safe Action pistols including the Gen 5 line.
Can I use the brass tool on other pistols? Only if the pin diameter matches; it is sized around Glock's own pins and is not sold as a universal gunsmithing tool.
Does it come with a case? No case is included with this set — the three tools ship loose, so a small pouch or the corner of a range bag works well for storage.
Is this a genuine Glock product? No, this is an unbranded aftermarket set built to the same basic shapes as the factory tools, not an OEM Glock item.
