Also what size is the 15 equivalent to or what is the most common size.
Cheers.
Red Spokey
Park or a Madison Spokey. Nothing else worth looking at.
+1 for park
I'm a Spokey fan too, I can work with them quicker than anything else.

Park is the dogs doodars.
i've got the triangle park one - doesn't slip but kills your fingers - no good for wheel building
Spokey key here too
Cheers guys. Will give the red one a pop.
Ive had one of these since i did my training, solid and dependable with a 4 sided grip

Cant say ive ever been a fan of the spokey ones, or the park professional ones ive tried them both and have always gone back to the one in the link above.
If you buy a Spokey,try and get the Pro version as it has a deeper jaw and is less likely to slip or damage nipples.
So does, Topeak Alien soke key (wreck nipples) where can I can the pro spokey?

comfy enough to use to build a full wheel, and should fit any wheel in my riding group if needs be.
You can have a real fancy one with a red cross in it for £14

I guess the cross was hand carved or something? 😉
Cheers, but I want the red spokey pro - where from?
ta
I have a Park, its very good
One with a hole - cheers!
Now where can I but DT spokes - can't find them on CRC?
ta
I have a sapim one. Not sure where you can get them from - i got mine from a sapim sponsored wheel building coach.
cost a fair bit, but its solid metal, very comfortable to use and with a well formed key.

The one in the top pic makes a crap spokey but is good for removable tubeless valve cores.
Black Park Pro here. The four sided designs I find a bit of a pain as you have to slide them over the top of the nipple rather than from the side which takes more time.
Best spoke key i have ever tried after exploding a spokey:
