Bicycle Research Nipple Driver for Standard Rims

It's a good tool, with a feel of good quality. My first experience with it was marred a little only because, 1.) The spokes I bought were too long and so drove the the driver centering pin out of the spoke nipple as the spoke got wound into the nipple at its maximum--that was my fault; and 2.) The driving end is loose and always falls down with the force of gravity, so getting the hang of it takes some time to become proficient. Considering that I had never used the tool before, as I became used to it, it worked fine. I like it enough, even if it is a touch finicky.

I bought this tool to help pre-tighten spoke nipples on some Velocity Aero-Heat rims; it worked like it was supposed to. I dropped one star on the rating because I felt the 'tit' that goes into the spoke nipple could have been a little longer. Overall, though, I would buy it again.

It is amazing of how a simple tool can make your job much faster and easier.I recommend this tool. You just screw the nipple and it will come off a the exact distance on every spoke. Just perfect.

This offset screwdriver is so useful it is hard to imagine how people used to build wheels before they were invented. Every bicycle shop has one. They are the choice of professional mechanics. They are light and fit well in the hand. Electric screwdrivers are too heavy to hold if you are building more than a couple of wheels.
