There is such a thing as a spoke spanner, which I have.
Only if you want to save your old spokes though !

You can get a spoke spanner from most bicycle stores, good ones are stepped and accomodate several sizes.
If you are planning to respoke with stainless, (considering so if your old ones are rusted) then save the aggro and use the aforementioned bolt cutters, you'll still need the spanner for refitting the new ones and tensioning them
