Just what are all those COMMON sizes found on bikes?
Will they ALL work in situ?

- seat posts
- cantilever brakes
- v-brakes
- axles
- derailleur nuts
- bike racks
Maybe there are others I will come across...just super convenient to rotate and move from part to part.
I of course don't know all available nut sizes on bikes (especially older bikes that don't use much hex)...but have found this quite useful.

It is new to me...but maybe because it is vintage and what is old is new again!

I have a dog bone wrench like that which I used on my old Dunelt 3-speed bike back in the '60s. It was my father's so is likely over 70 years old or more. Still works as well (or poorly) as it did then.

Most everything on my bikes are allen key. My fenders do have an 8 mm hex nut but that is about it. Even the majority of my pedals go on and off with an allen key.
Not sure what I would do with a tool like that.

I just threw out a couple of those while cleaning my mothers estate.
One I recalled from my childhood & youth.
Pretty much worthless then, totally worthless now IMO.

He has millions of them, all screaming incessantly. Even on bicycle sites.

I think that at one time or another everybody had one of those. And most are now covered in dust or in the bottom of the bottom drawer, or in a landfill. They tend to be poorly made, fit nut loosley and made of a soft material(lead?). They're too short for good leverage, and round off quickly if too much force is applied.
You'd be better off getting a proper set of wrenches.

However, this dog bone fits perfectly and is definitely not made of lead...
