Nipple Wrenches
So fed up with the poor quality that I made my own for my Hawken Rifle..............

It's sad they will sell that junk. Yours looks very strong.

Re: Nipple Wrenches
The one I have for my Remington 1858 is OK too. It obviously has to have a smaller dia to fit into the cylinder but I have no problem with it.
The cut out to fit the nipple is not as high and so there is not as much leverage on the 'ears'.

Re: Nipple Wrenches
Not all nipple wrenches are of equal quality for sure. However, one needs at least three or four different wrenches . You need, often more than one pistol wrench, depending on the set of the nipples. You need a good standard rifle wrench and also a larger one for a musket nipple. I took a snap of a few of mine for illustration.
