I'm regularly dealing with 12g & 13g spokes and big nipples 🤭

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?

Well, that counts me out, and I suspect most people here. If ever did have to work with spokes not covered by my Spokeys or hex tool, I'd be after something wingnut shaped, one tool per size, and plastic coated for comfort. All the spoke manufacturers seem to make them, so you can go with your own prejudice, but for example these are the Pro ones:

Ha, didn't know Pro offered something.

Yeah this is the main thing for me at the moment, the multi wrench is beginning to grate.

Thanks!
