Have used most spoke keys Ed, including the Park Tools one which isn't too bad but can chew the nipples a bit.

This is what I use these days, they dont slip on the nipple at all.

I have recently been using a cheapy multi sized thing, ok for a bit, but knacks your nips if you dont get it `engaged' (gripping)
properly. I have now bought a 14gg specific one from bmxcity, £4.50, really well made, tighter than a nuns chuff on the nipple, and easier on your fingers too!!

Thanks for that post. I was wanting to use alloy nips on a pending build so wanted to be extra carefull so as not to scratch the anno. This looks just the trick :daumenhoch:
