Walker Nipple Wrench

[BlackPowderBen]

Can I get away with using this wrench or will it strip on me easily? I know Dixie and Track sell a $22 one.

Looks like mine from Cabela's. Don't remember mine's brand, but it works OK. I suspect several brands are really made in the same place.

Sorry....you want a Walker wrench...the Cabela wrench is for regular Piettas. My mistake.

Cabelas sells a walker wrench?

No but Dixie does. http://www.dixiegunworks.com/product_info.php?products_id=7630

looks like that one is good quality, dixie and ebay have another made specifically for walkers and dragoons that is just $8.95, but I doubt the quality is good

If it's not hardened it's not worth having.

 

[BlackPowderBen]

ebay sells one for $11.45 and free freight that is hardened steel

That appears to be the one made by RMC which are sold by Track of the Wolf if memory serves. The correct one for the Walker would be the NW-140 using Track's PN.

They are hardened but will give before a good cone gives if stuck, by design. Use one with our Walker, like it better than the Colt.

Dixie has great customer service and will probably issue a refund if it fails or doesn't work properly.

That one in the link isn't a Walker wrench. it will work but just because the guy calls it a Walker wrench doesn't make it so. That's a standard revolver wrench. Still a good price if it is indeed hardened.

I think he uses a stock photo because he has another listing for a 1851,1858, 1860 revolver wrench with the same photo

Good catch Hawg.

 

[BlackPowderBen]

I went for the ebay hardened steel wrench, we'll see if it holds out. I may be asking for a stripped wrench

 

[DD4lifeusmc]

if it fits properly yeah it will work if the nipples aren't over tightened

And the wrenches really aren't hardened all that much

Also if you go to the Ted Cash website they are only $8.95

The Walker and Dragoon require a necked down shank
per my sources.

Well I used the walker wrench, it's a ted cash.
The quality is good, removed brand new nipples easily
