Judging by your name and comments, I'm assuming you work on your own cars. A bike is NOT a car. Any flimsy little tool will work for adjusting your hubs because you're never going to put much force on it nor does it need to be ergonomic for your hands. I personally would have just kept the cone wrench you already had.
BUT, now that you already returned it, you can pay a few bucks more for a quality tool. There are a couple tools that you can cheap out on, but other places that you really should have a quality tool.
As I'm sure you're aware, that bike shop is total crap, those mechanics should be fired
