If you are talking about the arsenal style staking tool, yes, but it takes practice. If you are only going to stake on one sight, just let a good gunsmith do it for you. If you plan on staking three or more sights, then a staking tool makes life easier. The arsenal style is not the easiest to use. I have found it wants to slip off the tenon when you try to hit the impact surface with a hammer or mallet. The Millet is probably the nicesest, but it is also very expensive. I figured I would never stake enough sights to make the Millet worth the money, but the King's arsenal style has paid for itself.
