A nipple wrench is used to remove and install nipples on the cylinder. I tend to remove the nipples when cleaning and re-install them with a light lube on the threads.
If you shoot a lot you will some day need to replace the nipples and you will need the nipple wrench to do so.What is a nipple wrench for on a black powder revolver?
The ';nipple'; is at the back of the cylinder, and is the part you place your percussion cap on. They sometimes get clogged, and need to be removed to be cleaned.
