Bladed and oval spokes are so much more expensive. Ouch. Here's a homemade tool that can help keep the blades from twisting. I created it to work on some straight pull spokes that started slipping but I use them on all my blade builds (not so many; too expensive). Those blades seem to twist more than regular spokes.
