I know it's not the "Professional Method" but I have always used a brass punch with a thin Nylon protector on the tip and a Ball Peen Hammer to drift the sights. I use a piece of masking tape to indicate the starting point (so I have a reference mark) and have gotten really good on judging just how much to drift the rear sight. I keep saying I'm going to get one of the sight adjusting tools, but in the 35 or so years I've been doing this in the manner described I have always been successful and have caused no damage so I just have never gotten the impetus to spend the money on a specialized tool.

If I were 25 again and just getting into the hobby I would more than likely spring for the tool though.
