As a newcomer to Dan Wesson, I've been browsing the Internet looking for all things related. I came across this site named EWK arms that had Dan Wesson parts. Any opinions on the barrel wrench, or other parts they offer for sale?

Eric is the real deal! His products are first class in quality and effectiveness. He is a member and Site Supporter, and a good friend to DWF.
Buy any of his products with confidence.
I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

My 15-2 didn't come with a barrel wrench. I've seen used ones on eBay that are going for roughly $30 to $40 or more. EWK sells theirs for $25, and promote it as a safer wrench because of its aluminum barrel insert. Can the originals really mark up your barrel if your not careful?

What occurs most often with the OEM wrench is the plastic breaks and the wrench slips possibly causing damage to the barrel nut. Eric's wrenches are better designed and manipulate easier, thereby reducing the chance you'll round out the slots on a barrel nut.

Current production wrenches and some of the originals are made from steel. These are the ones you need to be careful of. Personally, I don't use them because because I don't like the thought of seel-on-steel inside the bore, especially at the crown area.

I think it would be safe to say that most forum members here who actually remove or change their barrel assemblies with any regularity are probably using the EWK barrel wrench.
I too have bought several other items from Eric and have always been happy with his craftmanship, not to mention he is a great guy to communicate and deal with.

I think you'll be happy with his products. I bought one of his .44 barrels and it looks very well made.
Some of the original wrenches were made with plastic. Mine did not hold up well. A set from EWK is somewhere on my buy list.
I packed my wrench in the factory pouch along with my .22. At some point I broke the small (sight) part. I didn't give it much thought. That small broken part rubbed along the rib putting a "nice" scratch for me to behold every time I get the gun out.

I purchased a wrench and gauge kit from EWK not too long ago since my DW did not come with anything. I am VERY impressed with the quality and service. Received emails when ordering and during the process.
I would order from again. You won't be disappointed.

I have bought 2 from Eric. A 2.5" and 3.5" assembly in the last few months for my 357. Super quality. Looking for a 8" assembly from him.

Would love to see some 10" Supermag barrels and shrouds.

How about Eric making some 2" and 4 " shroud extensions that would be added to regular shrouds with a longer barrel tube. Add 2 inches to a 4" to make a 6". Or a 4"to a 6 to make a 10". I bet those would sell like hotcakes. Is it feasible? Would it work? I would buy them for all my dans.
