Add it to the page then.

It probably belongs on the spanner/wrench page:

Eh, I don't think so. The bit he used is designed to be a wrench bit, it's not designed for the oval screw used by the nspresso, it just works coincidentally.

Ah...you're right, I missed the "somewhat compatible" part of the sentence.

The only other problem would be if it's "notable" enough :)
