How to use

Select the Park Tool SW-1 when its size matches the spoke nipple in your wheel. Place the wrench over the nipple head so that it seats fully, then turn clockwise to tighten or counterclockwise to loosen the spoke. Make small, incremental turns and check wheel trueness frequently to avoid over-tightening. The vinyl coating helps maintain a secure grip while you make adjustments.

Usage recommendations

Use the SW-1 with appropriate wheel truing stands or wheel supports where possible, and pair with a spoke tension meter for precise work. Store the wrench in a tool roll or kit to protect the vinyl coating and maintain its accuracy. Avoid using excessive force to prevent rounding nipple heads.
