why do i need this?

[davesnothere]

found this thing for the price of the change in my pocket.
i'm sure there is a perfectly good reason i need to own one of these, but i don't know why.
what is this thing?
what is it good for?

Because you either don't have one or you don't have enough of them. May be for gauge thickness

Looks like a "spoke" wrench.
For either building or truing spoked wheels.
Judging buy the size its for the spokes in a motorcycle wheel.

R6 got it, it's a motorcycle spoke wrench. That particular one sells for about $7, new.

that would make sense.
maybe this means it's time to get a motorcycle.
thanks!

Rowe has made them for decades and it was always the best wrench. He also makes wheel truing stands (I've had one for many years). Make Harley heavy service equipment like crank assembling jigs etc.
Mr. Rowe was a nice man too and no johnny-come-lately to the motorcycle tool biz. I hope he's still around.

send it to me I got a loose spoke and can't find mine

I have half a dozen spoke wrenches, but my Rowe is my favorite "go-to" tool.

Just think of the possibilities if you'd found a speculum....
