Spoke wrench?

[JayD]

Do I need to carry this tool in my tool kit if I carry an adjustable wrench?

 

I understnad the square end is for tightening the spokes, but what about the other end?

 

This is one of those «no questions are stupid»-questions, isnt it?

As small as the spoke wrench is, I would carry it instead of using an adjustable wrench.

 

The other end appears to be 8mm......just checked mine.

Measured tool size.

Thank you @whisperquiet

 

I agree on it being small and that I should just throw it in the tool pouch, but since I’m already carrying a small adjustable wrench.

 

I wasnt sure what the other end was, since it have that curve and the other one doesnt.

An itty bitty adjustable wrench will do what that does and more.

I would carry the spoke wrench as it is not that big to begin with.

 

Adjustable wrench tends to be quite large and bulky which you can sometimes loose the feel when tightening the spoke which doesn't take that much.

I leave the OEM spoke wrench at home and instead carry a compact Knipex adjustable wrench.

 

It fits nice and snug inside the pouch with my Leatherman Wave.
