Black Powder Nipple Wrench for SliXshot & Replica Revolvers

Remove and install stubborn black powder percussion nipples with greater control using the SliX-Wrench Black Powder Nipple Wrench. Designed for strength, leverage, and long service life, this precision-machined T-handle tool fits all standard SliXshot nipples, SliXshot Pocket Revolver Nipples, and many factory replica percussion revolver nipples.

Small factory nipple wrenches can be difficult to grip and may slip when removing stubborn, fouled, or corroded nipples. The SliX-Wrench features a durable T-handle design that provides a secure grip and increased leverage, allowing slow, steady, and controlled pressure during routine maintenance.

Precision CNC-machined from 41L40 steel and heat-treated to a Rockwell hardness of 48–52, the SliX-Wrench is engineered to resist wear and deformation through repeated use by Cowboy Action competitors, black powder enthusiasts, and gunsmiths.

Important:
Ruger Old Army factory nipples require a 3/16-inch nut driver. Factory Walker and Dragoon nipples may require a different wrench. Always verify nipple dimensions and confirm full wrench engagement before applying pressure.

Why a T-Handle Works Better

Removing percussion nipples often requires more torque than small factory wrenches can comfortably provide. The SliX-Wrench's full-size T-handle gives you greater leverage and better control, making stubborn, fouled, or lightly corroded nipples easier to remove.

Precision CNC-machined from hardened 41L40 steel, the wrench is built to resist wear while helping reduce slipping, rounded nipple flats, and damage to surrounding firearm components.

Recommended Use

  1. Confirm the firearm is completely unloaded.
  2. Follow the firearm manufacturer's maintenance instructions.
  3. Seat the wrench fully over the nipple flats.
  4. Apply slow, steady, and controlled pressure.
  5. Avoid excessive force on seized or damaged nipples.

Nipples that are severely corroded, damaged, or seized may require penetrating oil or assistance from a qualified gunsmith.

Ideal For

  • Cowboy Action Shooting
  • Black powder competition
  • Routine percussion revolver maintenance
  • Replacing worn or damaged nipples
  • Cleaning fouled percussion revolvers
  • Range bags and gunsmithing kits

Whether you're replacing worn percussion nipples, cleaning a favorite black powder revolver, or preparing for your next Cowboy Action Shooting match, the SliX-Wrench Black Powder Nipple Wrench provides the leverage, strength, and precise fit needed to simplify maintenance while helping protect valuable firearm components.

Proudly Made in the USA

Every SliX-Wrench is precision CNC-machined in the United States from durable 41L40 steel and heat-treated for strength, wear resistance, and years of dependable service.

Review
PolarFBear - 07/01/2026
A bit pricy but it worked. Now I have a good tool. Hope I do not lose it. It would be better if it ALSO included a rifle nipple fitting on the same tool.
The SliX Wrench is better than advertized.

I plan on replacing my Navy Sixes nipples. Now I won't have to look any further than to SliXsprings.

Works great . Should have bought one years ago .
Simply the best
Jeffrey Poulin - 04/28/2026
I've used various nipple wrenches for over 40 years. The Slix Wrench is simply the best, including on Remington 1858, Colt 1851 and 1860 and R&S repro revolvers. It is comfortable to use and never chips or bends. I keep one in the range bag and one in the cleaning kit. Don't expect ever to need any other.
A MUST HAVE tool when changing BP nipples
