Icon Spanner Wrench - Alternatives?
Before I buy the icon spanner wrench to adjust my coilovers is there alternative way of doing so?

I have a adjustable spanner wrench I used for my BMW back in the day (need to find it) but curious if icons are different in hole size?

I read someone used a 8mm allen... but said it was difficult.

Whats another $32 dollars

I asked this question to a local group near me and it was unanimous to get the Radflo one. I received it and it does fit but have not used it yet.

I use a punch. I had a set of punches and one of them fits the adjuster hole perfectly. So maybe buy a set of punches then you get the adjuster AND a set of punches!

Mine look a LOT like this set:

Recently installed and adjusted the extended travel with Icon Spanner wrench. No issues but you do have to use the longer side with the pin. The hook will not give you enough room if mounted. Other threads mention use a 5/16” punch hole as well. I think that would work fine.

Hey guys, thanks for the alternative ideas. Online reviews of the Icon wrench weren't very promising so I made one in my shop. The 3/8" pins are 2" long. Tig welded to a 10" long by 3/8" thick steel handle. I'll try them out this weekend after I install the IVD coilovers.

I'm not sure i see how this is going to work with the 3/8" pins in that orientation to the handle. Would your fender well not get in the way when trying to put the pins into the coilover to adjust? I have to use the non hooked end of my icon spanner wrench for that exact issue. Maybe i am just looking at the picture wrong.
