fork oil change

That's a fair price, but a flat handle like that can be quite uncomfortable. I prefer to grind a fatter wrench to suit. If you choose to grind one, stop often and cool it in water.

I only intend to use the Park Tool Cone Wrench for this dedicated purpose. You have to break the loctite on the fork cap threads the first time, but thereafter the nut is very easy to remove.
