Why would a spanner be used on a quick release?
Of course you are right.
the quick release should be tightened by means of the lever.
Some people turn the lever like using a spanner to hold the wheel in place.
Of course the leverage is far less than using a spnner on ordinary wheel nuts.
i suspect they think of the QR lever in teh same way as they do a spanner.
