Default Looking for a Substitue for Spoke Wrench

I can't get a spoke wrench till the end of the week,

so can I use something else that is safe ?

I searched the simple search here and I don't get it, I

put in Spoke Wrench and Nothing appeared that would directly connect me, I must be doing something wrong, but don't know what it is!

I have a pair of needle nosed pliers in my tool kit for emergencies. Not sure how good an idea that is but I plan to be very careful. An adjustable wrench small version would work I think.

I don't have a spoke wrench myself, but I do have a open end wrench that work's. I've been trying to get the size of it but it's very hard to read...9/64maybe?

Yes, I have wrench's that small...I also have some that you need a fork lift to move

Try to straighten it first, it's pretty easy.
