Can anyone recommend good tools to push new sights on Glocks? I'm wanting to install suppressor height sites on a few of them. I don't want to spend a fortune but not looking to cheap out. If there is a good universal tool that dose several difrant kinds of pistols I'm defanatly interested in that.

If you start getting to ~4-5+ different platforms, another +1 for the MGW universal sight tool. I mean, yeah, it gets a little pricey. Though, good peace of mind to ensure a good install without beating on the site with a punch/block (especially if installing anything tritium).
For Glock front sights, use something like Loctite blue, 242, 248, etc. and torque to ~5-7lin/lb. Much beyond that, and the screws will likely start to experience stretch, even if they do work once. Avoid Fix-it-sticks torque limiters for this use case specifically. Their low torque limiters are not good for such a low torque value, and do not break away cleanly so it's easy to over-torque. Their front sight tool does work well and is a standard 1/4" size. I'd recommend going with a low lb/in torque screwdriver that brackets the torque range, but I'm OCD about tools.
For myself, I use a Wiha TorqueVario 28413 5-18 in/lb, which works great and will also have you covered for certain red dot screws as well (often ~15in/lb). Those are pricey, though if you look around on eBay and some other places you might be able to find one for a bit under $100. If you look around a bit, you can usually find something used from Wera, CDI, Snap-On, and other trusted brands for more like $30-60.

Yes, the Fix-it-sticks front sight tool I have. It's just a 1/4" bit for use with any 1/4" drive ratchet or wrench. It works well and does what you need from a bit. The nice thing is the shallow head that keeps the screw from being recessed too much in the bit which would've made it hard to start threading in. Still need a wrench or screwdriver though.
If you were asking about the Wiha torque screwdriver, yes, I have one. It works excellent for these low-torque screws. It's easy to adjust in a precise manner. It also breaks away nicely when you reach the torque, which is ideal for low-torque numbers like this. For the price of roughly $100 if you find a deal, it doesn't make sense if you only have say 1 or 2 guns to modify. In my case I think it was 7 or 8 different models of Glock and going through maybe 2-3+ sets of sights on each, trying to find the ideal setups for what I want. Most people probably aren't doing that many and maybe only need to change sights on 1 or 2 guns.

I have used the MGW P2000/USP pusher and while good at what it does, the sight pusher pro looks to go the extra mile. The bumpers secure the slide more than just using the slide shoe. I also like the fact it is 2 pieces and you can set the slide into the pusher as opposed to sliding it thru. Here is a video from the site.
Here's a few quality options for Glocks. I'm assuming you need them for an MOS gun? Heinie sights are great. Night Fision are also really nice. Ameriglo has probably the most variety for Glocks of any manufacturer, plus a lot of cost-effective options. Trijicon is okay but, for the price, I'd take Heinie over them all day long. 10-8 makes good quality stuff, though personally I can't stand U-notch rear sights.

Night Fision
Ameriglo
Trijicon
10-8 Performance
Depending on what Glock setup you have, and assuming it's an MOS, if it was me I'd probably go with the Heinie #3188L, which is the plain black front/rear.
