Sight drift?

Since I'm a new AK owner (well, not until it's done being built), I have a question on the front sight. Is a special sight drift tool really needed to do your adjustments, or can you get by using something else and if so, what would that something else be? Sorry if this was covered in another post, didn't see it if so.

Tapco makes a dandy tool for both windage and elevation adjustments on the front sight of an AK. Cost is pretty close to $10.00 and you don't need to use a punch and hammer

I got the sight adjustment tool and just moved mine a little bit to the left. It worked well, and was easy to go slowly and stop where I wanted.
