yeah, a real spoke wrench is a good investment. the back of the side
cutters trick would work in a pinch, but unless your spokes are
horribly stuck, do you really need more leverage? what about making a
half turn? no way thing can do consistent turns as you could never make
more than about a 1/4 of a turn before having to reposition.
some flex to you spokes is normal and in fact needed. making everything
"good and tight" will likely result in an overtightened wheel which
even if perfectly true, will break more easily and ride a bit funny. go
slow, (1/4 turns at a time), take your time(rushing is a great way to
royally screw this up), and use a real spoke wrench.
