Goabroa Bike Spoke Wrench, Hard Steel 8-in-1 Hardened Steel Bicycle Rim Truing Kit for Precision Wheel Tension Adjustment, Compatible with 10/11/12/13/14/15G Spokes Nipples

I have a hybrid bike and it's about 5 years old. I got it at Sports Authority, around $200. Every so often, I'd have to take it to Trek and get the tires trued up. That was at least $20. I think this time, I managed to mess up the tire by clamping it to the bike rack. Anyway, this seemed pretty bad. I figured I'd give it a try to fix it myself since the bike was so old. I watched a few YouTube clips on how to do it and then found the "cheapest" multi tool here. It got here fast and two of the six slots were marked "14" and they fit my spoke "nipples" perfectly. I found the bump using a dry erase marker (you can use a pencil). Then you turn those nipples a very small amount. In my case, the middle one needed a 1/2 turn, the next two out needed a 1/4 turn each in the opposite direction. then an 1/8 on the next two out. This wrench has a knurled edge to give a good grip and it's SOLID metal. I had no trouble tuning up that wheel, and the wrench is small and light enough to go right in the bike bag.I recommend this for a first time tuner. It's a economy tool that just works. It's perfect for keeping your own bike in trim.

I bought a Trek from the Peddler's Mall for $75. Wheel was wobbly as could be. Took about10 minutes to true is up. It has multiple sizes, so it should work on all types of spokes. Takes a little practice. Grab a permanent marker so you know which spoke you are working on. You have to spin the wheel in between each on to see if you are doing it correctly. The bike is now worth $300.

It had a good heavy feel to it. I was able to true up the wheels on my bike with this tool with relative ease. The tool seemed to fit the spoke nipples pretty well and enabled me to get the job done. After truing up two wheels (one was kinda bad) it showed some wear on the tool and appeared to not fit as well on some of the spokes. I was working on an older bike, which meant some of the spokes were fairly resistant to turning. This probably contributed to the extra wear on the tool, but I had kinda hoped it would have held up a bit longer. I am thinking it will still be good for more adjustments down the road though. For the price, it did what I needed it to do.

I bought this spoke tool as a “backup” if the other I ordered didn’t show up. Shipping being jacked up in the times of Covid.So I got this one a few days later after the first one to start the wheel project.Well this one became my go to. The quality is way better then the others sold here on Amazon for a few bucks less.Get this one. The numbers are legible, the knurled edges are well cut, and the tool engages with the spokes perfectly “not like the other one”…..Higher quality and a good add to the toolbox.(Compression photos, the cheaper one on left and this one on the right.) spend a few extra bucks and buy the better one.

There were two spoke wrenches at about the same price but this one was obviously better machined (crisp squared off openings to grip the spokes). I'm happy with it.

This is a pretty simple product, and it works.If you only need to work with one size of spoke, there are better tools, notably the ones shaped like this are easier to use: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B014KITUPS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1BUT, those tools only fit one size of spoke each, so take up more space, tend to get lost. If you work frequently on bikes, get the loop ones. If you work infrequently, get this silver circular one.My favorite way to use it is to mark the size I'm using on the spoke with a sharpie so I can easily find the same slot as I work on that bike. Otherwise, you need to keep reading the numbers.

Straps pretty easy. Good in a pinch but not for long term use. Super cheap though. Maybe keep as a backup tool.

This is the cheapest and most useful spoke tool. I replaced my warped stay true wheel that cost 35$ at $66. I noticed I got better spokes for the extra $, but I needed another tool. Wow, luckily the store was out of the park tool. $15 for 1 park spoke tool. This eased my brain on total costs for the bike commuter folly of a warped wheel and in my effort to fix 5 spokes snapped. It's back to true without those 5 but unridable till I replace them for $20 in spokes, $180 for a touring stand, $60 for a dish device and $40 for a tensiometer. So, this was a great help!
