Sapim make a good 13g nipple wrench. Not sure about 12g but I haven’t looked
-
The Park Tool SW-0/1/2/3 range are pretty comfy to use. There are 4 sizes up to 4mm so check which one you need. The red one fitted the slightly bigger nipples on my wheel.

I'm getting tired of using a cheap multi spoke wrench.
Because of the ergonomics or the (lack of) quality?
If the later, I wonder if you could take a new one and harden it with a mapp or butane torch and something (oil?) to quench it in.

Actually, I have a Park nipple wrench I filed out to fit the larger nipples that were on an igh wheel I bought at some point as I couldn't find a wrench to fit.
It was pretty nice to use.

That one looks cheap, but hozan don't make crap so would give it a shot.
Not a fan of the all sizes in one jobs, get on well at the unior single spoke wrenches and then have a full set of the double ended spanner types (often needed for cargo spokes as you get the tension up). Not stripped one yet!

I'll ask in the wheel building thread but thought this might be a good thread:
I'm regularly dealing with 12g & 13g spokes and big nipples ðŸ¤
I'm getting tired of using a cheap multi spoke wrench. I'm guessing the (puctured) Hozan offering is of a similar quality, and is probably as annoying to use. I could be wrong, anyone have any experience with these?
For anyone also regularly working on 12g & 13g, what nipple wrench(s) are you using?
TIA
