Sgt. Hochbauer, SASS #64409 Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 I have run into an issue with removing spent caps. Does anyone know of a tool that is made for that purpose aside from using a pair of pliers? TIA Sgt Hochbauer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They always use it. I hate to see someone's fingertip sliced by a sharp, spent cap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sedalia Dave Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 I also use a screw knife or a small screwdriver that I carry on my gun belt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackwater 53393 Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 I always keep a fairly small sheath knife on my belt for just such an occurrence! It’s also handy for knocking the wedges out of my ‘51 and my ‘60s when I need to get the barrel off quickly. I just tap the end of the wedge with the handle end of the knife!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafe Conager SASS #56958 Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Use a screw knife, I also keep a uncle Henry folding pocket knife my grandpa passed down for the ones that get stuck between the cone and the cylinder if the screw knife can't get to it.

Erasmus Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Screw knife here as well, unless I've forgotten or misplaced it, then it's the fixed blade on my belt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griff Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Pocket knife, belt knife or fingernail... With either Treso or Slickshot nipples, that's a fairly rare occurrence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Coffinmaker Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Additionally, I'd really like to run into one of those CVA Multi-Tools. Don't see 'em onna web site (darn). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Hochbauer, SASS #64409 Posted April 29 Author Share Posted April 29 Once again thanks for the suggestions. I have already tried the screw knife or small pocket knife that I always carry. The empty case will be to keep in mind. But I did try Duc's suggestion of the forceps...worked great. Harbor Freight had just the right size.
