I have in the past carried one of the flat monkey metal bike spanners when out on the mtb due to no QR on the back wheel... but cant find it and realised that for the last few weeks... I had no means of removing the back wheel in the event of a rear puncture so at work today I purchased a 15mm spanner... then attacked it with an angle grinder in my lunch break to make a custom stubby wheel spanner.

I then ground down the sharp edges on the bench grinder and covered the end with tape.... obviously throwing the middle bit away. I'll keep both ends but carry the ring end.
Its long enough to undo the nut but will fit easily into a pocket with a small pump and tubes.
