Best revolver nipple wrench

[Rebel]

I have an old 1971 made Uberti 1858 Remington with 5 Very stuck nipples. I tried soaking in Kroll. No luck. Then i soaked in Liquid Wrench penetrating oil and i even put an old nipple wrench on and smacked it with a hammer some. Still no luck. So, which is the strongest most durable nipple wrench? The Ted Cash ratcheting or the Slix Shot T. Or some other? I already rounded the edges on a Traditions T and a Track Of The Wolf T.

The wrenches Slix Springs sells are pretty robust. The Traditions wrenches most certainly are not. I think I also remember seeing a post here somewhere and somewhen where somebody had modified a hex socket wrench driver to fit a revolver nipple. If you have or can make a wrench with a nice tight fit then you can put the cylinder in a vise (pad protected, of course) and get some decent torque using a pipe wrench over the nipple wrench's cross bar.

Thanks. I put 2 dowels in my vise to fit in 2 of the chambers and then put the cylinder over them so i could get more leverage.
Still nothing. I have heard good things about both the Slix Shot and Cash but have never used either.

After bending a couple of nipple wrenches I filed a notch in a 3/16 by 1/4 drive socket. It looks thin and flimsy but it took the nipples right out of my 1851 Pietta. 1/4 drive sockets are cheap so if you screw one up it's not a worry. Some guys use Dremels to cut the notch but I just filed it with a flat file on edge. Try it.

Thank you. I may just give that a try.

Tedd Cash is the best that there is..

You might try putting the cylinder is a sonic vibrator and Liquid Wrench.

The very best penetrating stuff is BP Blaster. Hose down the cylinder with it and put it in a Baggy for a week. Nipples will come out.

I took a nut driver and filed the slot, it works great and think it was a 9MM.
