No-Mar Installation With A Minimum Of Breakage

The "clean" installation of aluminum or brass shotgun sights has always been one of the bug-a-boos of the gunsmithing profession. The Shotgun Sight Installer exactly fills the need for a truly precision instrument with which to install a shotgun bead without a mark - satisfying even the most particular gun man. The holding jaws are internally ground and lapped to give maximum holding surface on the globe of the sight without marring or damaging the metal. Priced at a level any gunsmith can afford, yet will give a lifetime of service.

SPECS: Available in aluminum or steel. Set contains one of each size. Three sizes: Lg. .175"; Med. .130"; or Sm. .067".

No fuss, No cuss tool! (01/10/2009)

When I got these I immediately tried them, and with excellant results. They are quite heavy duty, being steel, but are well made and simple to use. After installing one of each of the common bead sizes I decided they are far superior to the forceps I used to use, requiring little or no touch up. The only drawback is they are heavy, but should outlast me!

This is the one to get! (11/11/2009)

the best product to use when replacing a bead. The jaws are tight from the manufacture and a small screwdriver is all that's needed to open them up a bit. You get a first class finish with this set of tools.

Steel bead sight installers (20/10/2011)

Perhaps I should have purchased the aluminum set. The steel set is VERY heavy duty. In fact, the largest two collets are so strong that they will not close. I cannot tighten the knurled collar enough to close the collet by hand. The third and smallest size installer has a collet that is fully compressed (closed). I have to remove the collar and attempt to pry the collet jaws apart before I can use it. I'm happy with most of my Brownells brand tools. These are just a pain to use... I'll buy the aluminum set next.

Steel Sight Installers (07/07/2016)

Very heavy duty. In fact I had to pry the jaws apart with a small screwdriver to use them. Black finish came off in my hands. Had to clean all three tools with solvent before use. Not happy with steel set so I've ordered the aluminum sight installers to replace the steel installers.

Not very pleased with these (22/04/2018)

In theory, these should be great but here are the problems I came across when using them. First, the black finish comes off and gets all over your skin. The finish is a total mess. 2nd, none of the holders seemed to be the right size for the multiple beads I've tried using them on. The hole in the tool where the bead is supposed to seat was either too large or too small to secure the bead in the tool. (another reviewer said to try and pry the jaws open to insert bead). The tighter tool would not open enough to grab the bead and the looser tool would not tighten enough to hold the bead when inserting. The steel version is so heavy, it almost seems too heavy for such delicate work. Perhaps the aluminum versions would work better? I resorted to using a very small tap wrench whos chuck jaws seem to be much easier to adjust and grab the beads. I have gotten no use from this 3-piece steel set.

Just falls short (29/12/2009)

When I received this product I was impressed by the overall quality of the product out of the box. I went to use it and the jaws were very stiff and when I tried to loosen the jaws, they would not budge. I would recommend looking for another product.

Spend Your Money On Something That Works (13/11/2014)

The jaws on these are to heavy & too stiff to open & close. Not what you want when trying to close on a small bead.

Aluminum Sight Installers (13/07/2016)

I have the steel sight installer set which are in my opinion unimpressive. The aluminum set is a bit easier to use and there is no problem with the finish coming off in your hands as was with the steel set nor is there much prying needed to allow the jaws to work correctly. The aluminum set is ok but not great still better than the steel set in my opinion.

Unimpressed with these installers (15/07/2016)

I ordered these installers hoping they would function better than the steel installers I have but they don't. The jaws on the smallest size have to be pried open to function and the vice type head has to be tightened with pliers to hold the bead in place with each tool. I would suggest trying another tool instead of this set. I am not impressed with either set of these tools.
