Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

I've found that the variation among same size keys to be greater than I'm willing to accept. Over the years I've accumulated a few spoke wrenches very close in size, and I simply select the one that works best. When starting I use a slightly sloppier key because it's faster, but I finish with the tightest fitting key, especially for the tight right rear spokes to reduce the chances rounding off the nipple.
