Review on πŸ”§ BASEEING Bike Spoke Wrench Tool 8 Way Hard Steel Bicycle Rim Truing Tool for Adjusting Bicycle Wheel Tension 6 Sizes in 1 Cycling Pocket Spoke Tools for Bike Repair and Adjustment - Set of 2 by Hector Smith

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Oversized and soft metal = ruined tools and ruined spoke nipples

Received the wrenches today while cleaning up my bike wheels, both bikes have the same size nipples (0.136 inch). I used a size 1 universal needle in slot 14 and it was a little loose, but it twisted the needle as it should. I made about half of the wheel and changed it to the one with the blue handle. Good fit, easy to turn, up to about 10 or 12 spokes, the key is rounded. I went back to the round. Hit some hard spokes and they spun, or so I thought. Rounded surfaces of the nipple. Don't worry, the needle is too tight. Then he rounded off the next. Indentations formed on the front of the two contact surfaces of the key, which meant that it could no longer function. Vernier calipers (with new battery) and measured the remaining 14 slots that were not used. It was measured from 0.136 to 0.142 depending on the position of the caliper. The specification should be 0.136. At a size of .142, the corners of either the wrench or the nipple, or both, are most likely rounded. In short, after an hour of use, these tools are useless. I will ship them tomorrow and order the Park brand as suggested by several others. I cannot recommend these tools.
