Those Sapim brass hex nipples look ace. However, I'm wondering if the advantage drøn mentions - loosing engagement uniformly with each nipple - is worth more than having nice hex engagement.
What this calls for is a hex socket tool with a central prong, so the socket tool gets pushed off the nipple once the spoke nears the end. Then another normal hex socket on a drill with a programmed 360° spin function to ramp all the spokes up evenly...
