I have a pietta.44 cal. Remington 1858 revolver and would like to have a nipple wrench for it and so far no luck getting one that fits. Any help would be appreciated. Tom

Try this one - if it won't do the job it's time for custom work and special hardening!

Hawkhrower, I do have that one from track of wolf, it is to small but maybe I will be able to make it work. I am anxious to shoot it but want to coat the threads of the nipples with anti seize so I can get them out easily. Thanks for your help. Tom out

I have heard of rare cases where standard rifle nipples have been used, mostly in the larger frame revolvers.
Wondering if this is not the case.
You might give a standard rifle nipple wrench a try and see what happens.
It's an idea.
