CSL 50Cal RW-MR M5

Multi Role Rocket Wrench

The CSL 50Cal RW-MR M5 Multi-Role Rocket Wrench is a remotely operated fuze removal tool designed to generate high rotational torque for loosening and unscrewing UXO fuzes. The system utilises .50 calibre EOD cartridges to deliver controlled mechanical force, allowing render-safe procedures to be conducted from a safe distance.

​

The fifth-generation model introduces a unique Super-Torque mass ejection system, significantly increasing rotational force to overcome seized or heavily weathered fuzes commonly found on legacy munitions. In Super-Torque configuration, output torque is increased threefold, enabling the tool to defeat fuzes that cannot be removed using conventional methods.

​

Built on the proven platform of the fourth-generation Rocket Wrench, the M5 features heavy-duty clamping bolts, interchangeable jaw sets, and rocket tubes manufactured from precipitation-hardened 17-4 stainless steel (AISI 630). The chassis is machined from aircraft-grade aluminium, providing high strength while maintaining manageable weight for field deployment.

​

The Rocket Wrench can be deployed in standard or Super-Torque configurations, allowing the operator to adapt the system to suit limited space. Waterproofed breech plugs and the Super-Torque barrels enable semi-submerged or fully submerged operation, expanding the system’s effectiveness in maritime or flooded environments.

Key Features:

Super-Torque System
 

  • Dual water-filled barrels mounted to the rocket tubes

  • Doubles Torque

  • Enables the removal of seized or corroded fuzes

 
Submersible Capability
 

  • Waterproofed breech plugs prevent ingress

  • Super-Torque barrels enhance underwater propulsion

  • Suitable for semi or fully submerged deployment

 
Standard Configuration
 

  • Reduced system diameter for confined spaces

  • Maintains fuze removal capability where clearance is limited

 
Improved Clamping Geometry
 

  • Side-mounted clamping bolts ensure full jaw engagement

  • Provides superior grip compared to central bolt designs

 
Interchangeable Jaws
 

  • Fixed jaws for cylindrical fuzes

  • Two pivoting roller jaw sets for conical fuzes

  • Optimised for a wide range of UXO fuze profiles

 
Enhanced Grip on Conical Fuzes
 

  • 30mm and 80mm roller jaws pivot inward during clamping

  • Increased surface contact and resistance to slippage

  • Machined tooth profile designed specifically for conical fuzes

 
.50 Calibre Power
​

  • Optimised for CSL 50Cal LP Ld leaded electric cartridges

  • Approved for use with other .50 cal EOD cartridges, including DM102

Typical Applications:

  • Remote removal of UXO fuzes

  • Render safe procedures on seized or corroded munitions

  • Underwater or partially submerged UXO operations

  • EOD tasks requiring high torque delivery

  • Operations involving legacy or weathered ordnance

Why Choose the CSL 50Cal RW-MR M5?

Here is the Super-Torque Configuration being prepared by a technician.

The CSL 50Cal RW-MR M5 is engineered for maximum torque delivery in the most demanding conditions. Its adaptable configuration allows operators to tailor the system to space, environment, and fuze type, while its robust materials ensure durability across repeated deployments. With proven underwater capability and interchangeable jaws for varied fuze geometries, the M5 provides a dependable solution where conventional fuze removal methods are ineffective or unsafe.
