Description
The whole appeal of the Dead Air Wolverine PBS-1 is that one can covers your entire AK collection, plus your ARs and .308 rifles, just by swapping thread inserts. The catch is that those inserts thread into the suppressor pretty snugly, and getting them in and out without a way to hold the body is a recipe for scratched finish and skinned knuckles. That is exactly the problem this tool solves. The Wolverine Thread Insert Tool (part number WV109) grips the body of the suppressor and gives you a solid, stable hold while you turn the insert out with the appropriate wrench or socket.
Why the Wolverine Wrench Earns Its Spot in the Range Bag
The thread inserts for the Wolverine come in a bunch of patterns, including M14x1 LH for WASR-10s and most Eastern Bloc pattern AKs, M24x1.5 for AK-74s, M26x1.5 LH for Yugo pistols, plus 1/2×28 and 5/8×24 for standard AR and .308 setups. Each insert takes a different wrench or socket size, but no matter which one you are pulling, the job goes the same way: this tool anchors the suppressor while you do the twisting. If you own more than one insert, and most Wolverine owners do, you will reach for this thing every time you move the can to a different rifle.
Built by Dead Air for the Wolverine
This is a factory Dead Air part designed specifically around the Wolverine body, so the fit is right and you are not improvising with strap wrenches or padded vise jaws that can mar the finish. At just over 8 inches long, it gives you real leverage for inserts that have been riding in the can a while, and it is light enough to toss in the range bag without a second thought. It is a simple tool that does one job well, and if you are running a Wolverine on more than one host, it is the kind of thing you buy once and use for years.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need the Wolverine Thread Insert Tool to swap inserts?
If you plan on swapping inserts more than once, yes, it makes the job far easier. The tool holds the suppressor body in place so you can break the insert loose without twisting the whole can or resorting to a strap wrench. It saves both your knuckles and your finish.
Does this tool work with every Wolverine thread insert?
Yes. The tool grips the Wolverine body itself, so it works regardless of which insert you are installing or removing. Keep in mind the inserts themselves take different wrench or socket sizes, so you will still need the correct driver for the specific insert you are working with.
Will the WV109 work on other Dead Air suppressors?
This tool is purpose-built for the Wolverine PBS-1 and its thread insert system. Other Dead Air cans like the Sandman or Nomad use different mounting systems and their own tools, so this one is really just for Wolverine owners.
What else do I need besides this tool to change thread patterns on my Wolverine?
You will need the thread insert that matches your rifle's muzzle threads, plus the correct collar for that insert. The smaller inserts use the standard M14 collar that comes with the Wolverine, while M24 inserts need the separate M24 collar. Then just grab a wrench or socket sized for your particular insert and you are set.
