Hex-head nipples need a socket-style tool rather than a flat spoke key. The IceToolz 12C3 fits 5.5mm hex nipples and has an ergonomic handle with interval markings to help you keep track of each turn.

Highlights

  • For 5.5mm hex nipples
  • Ergonomic handle
  • Interval-marked handle to count turns

Faster wheel builds

At the start of a build, every nipple needs plenty of turns to bring the wheel up to tension evenly. The 12C3's handle spins freely in your fingers for that early work, then the interval markings help you make even, measured turns as you approach final tension.

Compatibility & fit

Sized for 5.5mm hex nipples. Check your nipple type and size before ordering.

Our workshop builds and trues wheels if you'd like a hand.
