Quick Notes:-Arrived in 2 and a half weeks from China.-Very impressed with build quality and that is a full sized Spoke Wrench it’s about the size of a half dollar.-Slots in wrench are 180 degrees away from the opposing slots so the wrench can sit straight on the spokes and not at an angle.-Slot sized are clearly marked on the back of the wrench (see photos).-I would recommend this tool to anyone who like doing their own bike maintenance.Full Review:I purchased this tool because I normally use a small crescent wrench to adjust spokes which takes a while if they need more than a quarter turn adjustment. This tool fits on the spokes easily but also very accurately so you don’t have to worry about stripping your spokes. It’s very easy to use as all the sizes are marked on the back. If you don’t know your spoke size just try all the slots until you find the one that fits snugly on you spoke then put a small piece of tape below that slot so you know which to use in the future. I would recommend this tool to anyone you like doing their own bike maintenance. If you don’t know how to do something on your bike I would suggest you learn how to because it will save you money and is very rewarding doing your own maintenance. Make sure you know what you are doing before you start adjusting spokes though because you can really mess your wheel up if you don’t know how to properly true a wheel.--*If you have any questions please leave a comment and I will try and respond as soon as I can, but I have a job and things to do so please don't expect a response immediately.*

Soft metal, worked for a few wheels that I was truing, but after the third one there was a noticeable indent on the metal that allows the spokes to slip. Convenience of having multiple sizes, but you sacrifice quality in terms of not having that hardened steel to withstand repeated use.

I've used it to adjust a few wheels so far. It works fine, and seems well enough built for the price. It is a little less comfortable than a dedicated set of single size tools, but I don't use it often, and with the family having bikes all with different size spokes, this was a good buy. It is a little loose on all of the sizes I've tried it on. Not loose enough to worry about stripping the base of the spoke, but loose enough that it makes it a little more frustrating to use with the bulky grip and tight quarters.

We currently own five bicycles and I get tired of buying a special tool for a single function that only works on one of the bikes. When it comes to keeping the wheels in good shape, this was the answer for me. It will handle the spokes on any of our bikes. If I was a mechanic I'd want a set of dedicated wrenches, but this wrench works very well for the occasional user. It has a nice heft to it, and the slots fit accurately- no slop. A quality tool at an affordable price- done.

I'm a DIY-er and I use this on all my bikes. I own more than 1 bike and this tool has worked well with the tires I needed to true. I purchased this tool because it has every spoke size all-in-one which is a lot more convenient than having a tool for every size.Also, I didn't really know what size my tire spoke was, so buying this all in one tool was a lot more easier than gambling on which exact size tool to buy. And buying online is a lot cheaper than in-store or at a local bike shop so I didn't want to have to return or buy another tool and play the waiting game again.All in all, a great tool that does what it should. It feels sturdy and strong, and it should last a long time.

I like how I don't have to look for different spoke wrenches while working on different bikes. I've used it for different bikes with different sized spokes and I'm glad i had this or else I wouldn't have the right size for some of the bikes i fixed in my house. The bikes for kids and the bikes for adults had different spoke sizes. It is convenient to just grab for the same wrench each time. It works well and does what it is supposed to do. It seems solid and cheap price, saved money by not having to buy one for each size.

Purchased this spoke wrench after my disappointment for Park Tools mini spoke wrench SW-7. Avenir has designed a much better product.Both sides are marked with the corresponding numbers so you don't have to turn it over to determine if you have the correct size. Also this spoke wrench is substantial as far as the thickness and is not a flimsey tool.Unlike the Park Tools SW-7 which has only slots for 3 sizes, the Avenir has 7.This tool really works as I used it to remove a broken spoke. While professional bike mechanics may prefer the individual spoke wrenches, this tool is great for the hobbyist.

The spoke wrench is very well made, strong and does it's job.It's a high quality steel product with a relatively high price compared to its competitors, however with free shipping it is well worth it. I'm sure that unless you lose it, this is the only spoke wrench you will need for the rest of your life.I think the description "Includes universal spoke wrench; chain tool; tire levers; glueless patch kit" was copy and pasted from somewhere else and needs to be updated. I was just expecting the spoke wrench, but it could mislead somebody else.
