I have a Park Professional Headset Locknut Wrench that is very similar to this Stein tool and it is my 100% go-to for headset removal and installation (yes, I have multiple headset wrenches in the same sizes). It's big, burly, tough and simply a joy to use which is surprising because I don't think many of Park's tools resonate on that level, nor are they all that fantastic of an experience to use. But, I do own JA Stein tools and anytime I've bought a tool from a boutique tool maker, I've found them an absolute joy to use. They are well thought out, typically overbuilt (good!), the finishing is nice and they, most importantly, do the job great. Plus, Stein has made tools for me in the past that he's ceased making only because he's a small enough shop to do that. And he was based in Flagstaff (now Prescott), where I spent 7 glorious years of my life. Great guy and great tools!
If I didn't like my Park wrench so much, I'd buy this one in a New York minute!

I should have noticed this and included it in the description. If either you or @agnewton wish to return the wrench I will refund your money. I would appreciate if you would absorb the cost of return postage.

I totally would have bought one if I had looked hard enough to realize it was the six point. Every now and then you come across a Tioga headset with the weird six point nut.

Hey, Good morning. I got one for sale. I jumped on the sale because 36mm headset wrench was the right size. I received it in the mail yesterday and yep, it's got six points. So, that's a problem for me.
I'll get it on to you for what I paid for it ($30). PM me for the finance and your address.
