I would also like to know which bladed spoke tool you use and where to place it when tightening nipples. I'm going to use bladed spokes on my next wheelset for the sake of frivolity and because I haven't yet.
Yes, alloy with a steel end

I use this, VERY good tool..left and right hand available. If 'RH, you hold in your left hand.

Hold it as low as possible, as close to the nip with room for the spoke wrench.

Also easy to find

Spoke wrench
