A nicer solution, if you're going to build more wheels, is to get some hex head-ed nipples. Means you use a different tool again, but is a lot nicer to bring up to tension than with a spoke key

Was at CRC today to ask what mechanics use.
Either park tools SW, but that means you need to get one per spoke gauge so he recommended the BBB BTL15 which he uses at home
