My first BP problem. I'm sitting there watching Lonesome Dove - Comanche Moon (appropriately) and I figure..."Hey! Why not break down my new 1858 that I haven't cleaned yet. I take my nipple wrench....which worked....as in DID....on my 1851 Navy and proceded to tear it up on the Remington cylinder. It fit, but I couldn't budge the nipples and tore the stupid wrench up.

I know they aren't the stoutest tools around, but does anyone know of a GOOD one?
