If you build wheels professionally, or just love well made tools then this is for you.

The Kumo Speedy nipple loader was designed to be quick, easy and satisfying to use when loading nipples onto spokes during wheelbuilding.

Made from brass for a good heft and inertia, the hexagonal end cap spins on a slick bearing and feels great in the hand. The hex is also designed so the tool doesn’t roll off your workbench.

Not shown is the threaded replaceable pin which the nipples are carried on.

The tool is made to order so has a lead time of approx 1-2 weeks from ordering.
