While new spikes are most usually included with the purchase of new spikes, some gamers may want to install new spikes themselves. This straightforward procedure necessitates the use of a spike wrench. Before you go out and buy the first spike wrench you come across, make sure it fits the spikes you're attempting to repair, as different spikes and manufacturers require different wrenches. If you wait too long to replace your spikes, they may become difficult to remove because debris can develop obstructions, making spikes practically impossible to remove.
