Our Nipple Wrench is heat treated to a Rockwell 48-52 hardness. This is plenty hard to remove most stuck nipples. If existing nipples are so stuck (either from rust, corrosion or over tightened) then we HIGHLY recommend soaking the cylinder a rust/thread penetrant of some kind for a few days and try again. Any tool that is used beyond what it’s designed for can/will break.
