Warren Innovative Technologies – Dead Air Wolf-9SD Body Wrenches

Saturday, January 13th, 2018

warren

Warren Innovative Technologies has announced the availability of 3D-printed polymer Body Wrenches for the Dead Air Wolf-9SD suppressor. The design engages the recesses of both the serial numbered rear, and the front sections, allowing the user to apply more torque to their Wolf-9SD from the front. Warren is also offering wrenches for the Dead Air Ghost suppressor, as well as SilencerCo’s Omega 9K/45K/Octane cans; the SilencerCo wrenches comes with a strap wrench mount adapter when further torque is needed.

These are made-to-order, with lead times dependent on order volume.

If you’re wondering these tools are made of 3D printed polymer, rather than a metal like steel or aluminum, here’s the explanation straight from the creator:

I didn’t make it out of steel because I didn’t want to damage the finish on the mounts. I looked into laser cutting aluminum but the expert to whom I spoke about it said the small wrench features would cause heat overloading and cause bad results from melting.

The 3D printed product prevents finish damage while allowing adequate torquing for installation and removal. It also allows embedded text without additional laser engraving.

To order this and Warren Innovative Technologies’ other wrenches, PM them on their Facebook page.

WAT and WITI are conducting a decade-old testing methodology originally developed by WITI, which focuses on long distance recognition, where effectiveness of a pattern is judged by a group of 3 to 6 officers using 7×45 binoculars at ranges between 700m to 1400m.

MASKPOL’s testing methodology is new, and focuses on combat distances of 25m to 300m, using a group of 15 to 30 soldiers making individual comparative evaluations with the naked eye. This testing also incorporates night vision and aerial drones.

Additionally, IWP (Polish Institute of Industrial Design) is also participating in the testing process. Based on photographs taken during the first two tests, they are using eye-tracking techniques with a large sample of participants to analyze effectiveness of the individual patterns.
