Was upgrading an old 3d model dragoon I acquired and remember most of the gurus on utube recommended slixshot nipples. So rather than wait for a problem I decided to eliminate the possibility. They work great. Got the wrench because of design and you can never have enough good tools.

Removing the factory nipples broke the wrench on the first try. For reference it's a newer cylinder with less then 20 shots with it.

Reply from Slixprings:

Any tool used beyond its intended purpose or improperly can/will break. We have seen some brand new revolvers with nipples tightened so tight I swear a gorilla installed them. Our wrench will remove those over tightened nipples if used properly. The key in using the tool is to keep it square on the nipple so an even pressure is applied to both sides of the wrench when loosening. FYI: We promptly sent a replacement wrench.

Best wrench,it would be great if your team can come up with a good caper that fits the cylinder because your stuff is top shelf and made in the USA

Far more sturdy then the traditions one I had before. Way better

I had 3 cylinders with stuck nipples. I constructed a homemade device that locked the cylinders and affixing a beak vise grip to the Slixshot wrench gave me the leverage to free the nipples. I cleaned the threads the reassembled the nipples to the cylinders.
I posted my results on a few BP Facebook and MeWe groups.

Unfortunately the nipples didn't fit my 1862 police but I was warned of that possibility previous to my purchase. I can use them on a another gun.

Great tool, sturdy, well made, precision fit.

This is the best nipple wrench on the market. It fits perfect with no slipping and it is made of superior metal. I recommend this as the best wrench for you cap and ball pistols!

So far it has worked excellent, had a very stuck nipple on my walker, was able to get it out with the help of soaking the cylinder in PB Blaster overnight

Fits SliXshot nipples snugly and seems well-made and durable. Works well for what it's intended to do, but would be an even better tool if the other arms were screwdrivers of varying sizes, or maybe if one was brass-tipped to safely tap out barrel wedges on Colt-style BP guns.

I own a Pietta clone of a Navy Colt. I had a prob;em getting the nipples loose from the cylinder to clean them. The nipple wrench I had wasn't doing the job. I bought the Slix Wrench and it made short work of the stuck nipples. Great product and just right to save the day.

Perfect fit on OEM or SlixShot nipples.
Very well made and makes removal and installation effort free.

I am very happy with this purchase it performed great I used it to install slixs nipples on two revolvers and had no problem breaking old nipples loose. I have used other nipple wrenches that break off due to cheap inferior steel not with this wrench it's made of a high quality steel would definitely purchase again and do recommend it to my friends

Bought this as part of my cap and ball tool set, along with files, screwdrivers, and the like. Much higher quality than the ones I’ve owned in the past.

This revolver has Treso nipples. Wrench is made to highest quality and both product and service were above expectations.

I HAVE TWO--ONE ON THE BENCH AND ONE IN THE SHOOTING BOX

I originally bought it for a shorter than normal barreled revolver but it made things so easy that I use it on all my revolvers.

By far the best wrench I've ever used for my cap and ball revolvers. It's an excellent design and it is solid enough to handle even the most enthusiastically overtightened nipples. Also, it fits both Colt and Remington style revolvers. Over the years I've gone through my share of inexpensive nipple wrenches. This one will probably outlast me. As I said, worth every penny.

this tool is made from good hard solid steel, and it cracks those tight nipples loose no problem!
wish i would have got one of these before i waisted my money on several other brands that just fold up under pressure.

Quality tool, fits tight and has good leverage. Great product

Good heavy duty wrench worked great

I’m quite sure this nipple wrench will out live most out there!

I have never used an easier and stronger Wrench on my BP revolvers. Highly recommended !

My impressions are that this wrench is well made and a good choice. The price is low enough but the quality is top notch.

Best cone - nipple wrench I own. Fits everything so far, both Pietta and Uberti. Great product. Gary
