nike spike tool

No matter what kind of Nike spikes you get, is it just me or is the spike tool they give you the biggest piece of s*** in the world? It strips in one try of taking spikes back out.

I've only had one spike wrench that actually worked, that was an asic (I think thats how it's spelled) one.

Asic work the best, or u can spend about 10 bucks for a metal one that works wonders.

Yeah I use an Asic now, but man you think someone would have complained to nike, or maybe they could have tested out the tool themselves!

I went through five nike wrenches before I wised up and found something better... I agree, asics' spike wrench does work well, but I prefer to use just a plain old pair of pliers :idea:
