Yes, the 9-piece set includes the main wrench handle and 8 interchangeable heads.
The set includes heads for 5.4mm, 5.6mm, 5.8mm, 6.0mm, 6.2mm, 6.4mm, 6.6mm, and 6.8mm.
This tool is specifically engineered for motorcycle spokes, which are generally thicker than bicycle spokes.
Use caution. Aluminum nipples are softer than steel; ensure the wrench is fully seated to avoid rounding the nipple edges.
Measure the nipple with a digital caliper or test fit the wrench heads until you find the one with the least amount of lateral play.
Ensure you are using the correct size head; if the fit is loose, check the nipple for existing damage or corrosion.
Apply a penetrating oil to the spoke threads and allow it to soak for several minutes before attempting to adjust again.
To use the set, select the head that provides the tightest fit on the spoke nipple without forcing it. Always start by verifying the nipple size; using a loose-fitting wrench may cause the tool to slip and strip the nipple edges. After use, wipe the wrench heads with a clean, dry cloth to remove dirt and moisture to prevent oxidation. Store the set in a dry place or a tool roll to ensure the interchangeable heads remain organized and easy to access.
