Make some various sized, round, tips (like a pin punch) for the end, out of Brass and / or Nylon, and it makes a handy way to drift sights in dovetails on firearms.
Less chance of slipping that way than with a hammer and brass or nylon punch.
Also handy for driving out pins on firearms.
Was one of my apprentice projects when I started in Gunsmithing way back in 1953.
