Product Description
Park Tool SW-3 Bicycle Spoke Wrench
Our iconic spoke wrenches have been a mainstay of our product lineup since we introduced them over 40 years ago. With their simple design and professional quality, they’re still the favorite of bike mechanics around the world. Each Park Tool SW-3 is made in the USA, and is precision-stamped, hardened and nickel plated for long service. Park Tool Spoke Wrenches are vinyl-dipped in one of four colors indicating the size at a glance.
The SW-3 is sized for 3.96mm (0.156″) nipples. This size can be found on select Shimano wheels, hub-drive e-bikes, & wheels found on “heavy duty” bikes. Always measure to be sure.
ALWAYS TRUE
There are many different sizes and even shapes of spoke nipples, and having the correct wrench is important. Luckily, Park Tool offers a full range of spoke wrenches in virtually every size found on a bike. Here’s how to determine the correct wrench for your bike, and a selection of tools we make to help you stay true:
SIZE MATTERS
Most square nipple sizes are within 1mm of each other, so a wrench that is too big may still seem like it fits. However, nipples are typically made of brass or aluminum. Both are a relatively soft material and can be easily damaged by the wrong sized spoke wrench (or poor-fitting off-brand wrenches).
MEASURE TWICE
The best method to determine the correct spoke wrench size is to use a caliper and measure the nipple across the wrench flats. Don’t worry about the size of the spokes themselves – spoke gauge is not correlated to nipple size.
TOP TWO
For square nipples, there are several size possibilities, but the two most common are nominally 3.2mm (Park Tool SW-0) and 3.5mm (SW-2) when measured across the flats. Use the smallest wrench that fits on the nipple.
