Cash ratcheting nipple wrench

[bigminnow]

I want to buy a Cash ratcheting nipple wrench for my 1851 Colt Pietta and 1858 Rem Pietta. The traditions nipple wrench I got at bass pro is too soft a metal and doesn't hold up.

The Cash ratcheting nipple comes in three slot sizes: .175, .215, and .254. Which size should I get to fit these nipples? I could get all three but I hate to spend more $$ than I have to. I could spend that on powder and lead

thanks again!

Oops...I'm too late but I just placed an order directly from the Cash website...good looking stuff!! I got a ratchet with two different heads. Thanks!

I find that I don't use the rachet portion of the nipple wrench any more. I chuck the "bit" into my magnetic screw driver and use it in that configuration.
