Sorry for replying to my own post, but here is the company that makes
the "official" Reynolds nipple driver -- it's a #4 spoke tool:

you can email them and inquire- I did when inquiring about their bb
tool which I thought was unique- the response indicated that while
theirs was a very nice tool, it was equivalent to a park model which I
could get at my lbs-

Cosmos are just a normal spoke wrench, like the Pedros or Park black
one. If the Bontrager are hidden nipps, then a 3/16 nipple driver, a
thin walled one is available from Trek/Bontrager, where I got mine.

On the same subject, are the FSA hidden hex nipple heads 5.5mm? I'm looking
at a nice FSA driver, but want to make sure it'll fit on my Cosmic Carbone
and Reynolds hidden nipple wheels. FSA just says it fits "their nipples",
not what that size actually is.
