Black Powder Revolver Nipple Wrench
I was wondering what would be a good quality #10 nipple wrench for .44 caliber 1858 and 1851 revolvers?

Take a 3/16 socket and cut a slot in it for the shoulder of the nipple and you will have the best device available for removing a nipple.

Chapman makes a good ratcheting nipple wrench.
I see Cabelas sells the Ted Cash ratcheting nipple wrench for twenty bucks. Not sure if Chapman manufactures it. Don't waste your money on those black aluminum T-handle pieces of crap. Whether you make your own out of a socket or buy one, the right tool sure makes stubborn nipples less frustrating. |

Track of the Wolf's NW-130 cone wrench is tops in my book.

3/16 w/slot cut is best---the old wrenches that came w/2nd and 3rd colts work much better the new nipple wrenches that are too soft.
