Park SW-15 3-Way Internal Nipple Spoke Wrench
This variation on the classic Park Tool 3-way wrench design features socket-style wrenches for three of the most common sizes of internal spoke nipples.
The SW-15 is one of the tools that actually lives on our bench in Georgia. Park Tool design and manufacture it in Minnesota; ProWheelBuilder is an independent wheel builder in Georgia and a Park stockist, not the manufacturer.
What it does
A spoke wrench that fits properly is the cheapest insurance in wheelbuilding. A loose fit rounds the nipple, and a rounded nipple on a tensioned wheel means cutting the spoke out and rebuilding that section.
What Park say about it
- Innovative three-way wrench with a square socket and 5mm and 5.5mm hex sockets to fit internal spoke nipples
- Thin wall sockets fit in the tight surroundings of most rims

About this listing
Sold here as a single tool. Unlike the rims and hubs we list, nothing gets built around it — it ships as it comes.
How we use it at ProWheelBuilder
Everything Park we stock is something we use ourselves. We would rather carry a short list we trust than a long one we have never opened. Unsure whether the SW-15 fits your parts? Ask first. We will tell you if something else suits it better, even if it is cheaper.
Park's kit is the industry default largely because it is documented. Their repair guides reference these exact tools, and they keep making them.

SW-15 questions
Do you ship tools on their own?
Tools ship alone, usually the same day the order lands.
Is this the right one for my wheels?
Tell us what you are working on and we will tell you straight. A spoke wrench has to fit the part exactly; the wrong size does damage rather than work.
Not sure? Text or leave a voicemail on 470-253-0929 or email info@prowheelbuilder.com — you will be talking to the people who build the wheels.
