Where do you buy flat wrenches?

[deemon328]

My Z-truck is loose and I need one of those 12mm stamped flat wrenches to do the repair. Where do I get one and what are they officially called?

Thanks in advance.

I'd bet on a Bike Shop.

Like Bud Suggested, I bought my first one at a local Bike store.

Thanks for all the replies. Since it's Easter and I'm in a hurry, I ended up grinding a 12mm wrench down. I hate to do that, but I did a decent job of grinding for once and it doesn't look completely pathetic.

Yeah! I had to reinstall my z-truck this week so I got my grinder out, clamped one of my many cheap 12mm wrenches to my work bench and ground and quenched and ground, etc. Took a little while but it worked. :D

Hi
Just a couple places that i have found thin wrench, still can't find the place i got the stainless steel set i have, i got a long time ago and i love it, real thin real strong. but these may help. it is amazing how often you will really need a thin wrench, if you work on any shop machine you will need them and the long handle set is wonderful. Hope this helps.
