I bought the nipple wrench hopping it would hold up under the torque required to remove tight nipples so far it has. Also, it fits SLIX nipples good but not regular nipples.

The SliX-Wrench is designed primarily for installing and removing SliXshot nipples after the factory nipples have been replaced.

Don't waste your money or time on anything else, THIS is the nipple wrench to buy. I previously purchased a Traditions wrench-too small to hold and turn firmly and would not fit over the nipples. Pay the extra $ and get the Slix wrench. So much easier to unscrew the tightest nipple, you'll be happy.

No better nipple wrench available. Better steel/tempering than the competition.

Product works great

This SliX Wrench is a quality item, perfect fit and does an excellent job removing and installing Black Powder Nipples - works great on the OEM nipples as well as the Stainless Steel replacement nipples offered by SliXPRINGS.
I was pleasantly surprised on how quickly my ordered product(s) arrived after my order.
Well done SliXPRINGS.

Works really well with the slick shot nipples

I have no complaints.

Good quality.

I like it so far way better then that one made by traditions for sure....but kinda expensive for what it is honestly

Unfortunately, high quality and the lowest possible price rarely go together. Our products are manufactured in the USA using quality materials and skilled American labor, which is reflected in the price. Although overseas manufacturing could reduce the cost, we are not willing to compromise the quality and workmanship of our products.

Exact tool for nipple removal and installation. Solid, well made and worth every penny.

Hi Patrick,
I don't often write to people about products, but SlixWrench deserves more.

As a new black powder enthusiast, I had purchased a nipple wrench. After fouling the Uberti, I tried to clean it. And used one of the nipple wrenches that was commonly available.

It didn't work, even in a vice, I couldn't get the nipples off the cylinder, the wrench just stripped itself.

I bought another one, more pricey. That should work. Nope. Same thing.

I was discouraged, because I was certain I didn't follow directions to fully disassemble a new cap and ball pistol and clean it before shooting, and now I was stuck with a cylinder that would need to drilled to be fixed. I set the gun aside for awhile.

Then, I saw a video that mentioned the SlixWrench. It noted that the wrench was designed to match the nipples on the gun. Each of the other wrenches I used had a lot of play, and appeared to be made with crappy material.

So I ordered your SlixWrench. It arrived. I pulled out the pistol, and first, was amazed that the wrench actually fit the nipples - no play. It was like the precision instrument it should be. Second, the nipples each came off, with only a little effort on my part.

THIS WRENCH SHOULD COME WITH EVERY DAMN CAP and BALL PISTOL!!!!!

Good job. And Thanks! for making a great piece of equipment.

Best,

Bought a tool off Amazon. Took 3 nipples out and it broke. No problem with your tool!

After breaking 2 nipple wrenches the SiiX wrench did the job with no problem. Save your money and buy quality to start with.

The best I’ve owned, fit is precise and easy to use.

Works perfect

just what i needed

This is the best nipple wrench available and I have used them all.

Great tool

No problem, steel stays,not weak. I use it on my 36 caliber colt,1851 and my Hawken 50 caliber.

Much better than the traditions one. Metal is harder and grips the nipples better.

The fit is outstanding.

T handle gives plenty of torque for dealing with rusted/ corroded old firearms. Long shaft gives plenty of clearance and better feel for those with larger hands, no scrapped knuckles as with short wrenches

Works great

Great fit. Made of quality steel with just the right hardness. Makes nipple maintenance less of a chore. Best I’ve used.

A well made tool that works great. I have owned 3 other wrenches from another manufacturer and they failed. The only suggestion I have would be to add knurling to the top of the tool.
