[ARCHIVED THREAD] - TAC65 - 6 POINT ENDCAP DRIVER TOOL

Posted: 10/4/2007 4:21:48 PM EDT

I need a tool to disassemble my TAC65. Tactical Inc. recommend 2 tools to disassemble the can. I think I can get away with using one and a strap wrench. Anyone who owns a TAC65 please let me know what method they use for disassemble.

Two tools will probably work best.

I stuck mine in a vice with wood softeners on either side. It still wanted to turn when I tried to unscrew the endcap. I finally got the vice tight enough, and before I reassembled the can I put neverseize on the threads.

Thanks for the reply. As I read more into it, it seems like assembly is where both will be needed. I'm going to order two.

If you get the end caps tight enough you will still need a strap wrench. Save your money and just buy one and use a strap wrench.

you only need one.

Mine has been used extensively, and i've rarely used two.

I just tempted to disassemble my can with one tool and a strap wrench. I let it soak in WD-40 for 24hrs. I could not get it to move and even broke the rubber on the wrench in the process.

Now, I don't know if I'm going to buy another tool or replace the wrench and try disassembly again.

I see - so you didnt really use a strap wrench.

No - I meant the wrench. The rubber ones are almost *worthless*. They cant hardly get anything tight or loose.... they stretch too much and often break. They are available everywhere cheap, unfortunately..... and are really handy for odd plumbing jobs, etc.... but for torque - you need a real wrench.

A real strap wrench has a nylon strap and would pop that thing right open.

Sorry, I'm kind of frustrated about this. It took me a while to figure out your first reply.

I didn't want to get something to heavy duty because I was worried about damaging the suppressor. I got a small Craftsman strap wrench. I'll take your advice and get a bigger one. Thanks.

I aggree. A dissassembleable .22lr suppressor is a frustration waiting to happen.

The lead and carbon is like cement glueing the whole mess together.

The best strap wrenches have a steel band with rubber lining. You won't probably find one small enough for the application however.

I went to Home Depot and purchase the strap wrench that FALARAK recommended. I could tell the big difference the moment I tightened it on the can. Grip held on and wasn't sliding around. I hardly put any pressure on it to get it to move.

My solution, but I'm sure there are other ways what will work.
Place end cap wrench in a vise, pins up.
Place suppressor on wrench.
Hold suppressor down with a hand on top, pressing down.
Turn tube with a strap wrench.

a little bit of heat helps too.

I have the 6-Point Endcap Driver Tool, just no vice nor strap wrench.
Let me know when I can come over...
