Here's the multi spoke key - www.fredbakercycles.co.uk/180/FAT-SPANNER-Spoke-key-.html.
Those old style Park ones are fine, except that it's easy to round off a nipple, even if you're careful, especially if you're working a lot on old wheels. The one in the link above grips 4 sides of the spoke nipple for all the sizes you're likely to encounter - and I've found 3 different nipple sizes on the same wheel (on a Giant).
I believe Park do the 4-side-grip keys now as well. Look for an extra flash of colour on the plastic coated bit.
