Default Height adjustment tool for MOE?

Did you guys who went with the MOE version get a Magpul sight adjustment tool for the front sight? I need to adjust but don't see a tool contained to do so.

I did not get one. I've read some people mentioning they got one. I bought mine 6-8 months ago.

I just used pliers to adjust mine since there's nothing blocking the post.

I got mine about a month ago, no tool. Pain in the rear to adjust with pliers, but thats what I did because I am cheap. Just be careful with it

Mine came with two pins which I think are to just "lock" the sight in place. I'd hand twist it pretty easily(it would hold zero) but seems like I'll need a tool too since I lowered it all the way and can't get the think back out!

I didn't get one either and my fingers are too large to easily turn the front post.

I bought a A2 sight tool at my local shop for $10. Fits right inside the grip for storage..

I tried making one but don't have machining facilities.

Hope whichever tool I buy, I don't have to make any stupid adjustments to get it to fit =/

Default Made mine

I made one out of an old screwdriver. If you have an old wide blade screwdriver and a moto tool you can make one that contacts two of the notches. It worked for me.
