Default 2009 KLX250s. Which axle nut wrenches do I need?

My used bike came without a toolkit, which sucks. I already have a motion pro combo tire lever and 27mm 6 point wrench, but apparently that doesn't fit around the rear axle nut. So now I'm looking to buy a new one that actually fits. I've taken the front tire off as well using 1 single 19mm socket.

When I checked partzilla for the OEM toolkit I couldn't find a 19mm anywhere, which I found odd. So I'm wondering what sort of aftermarket axle wrenches are you guys/gals using? It would suck to carry a 1/2 inch ratchet + sockets on the trail, so I would like a more lightweight option like a combo wrench if possible.

I believe it is 17/19 front and 22/27 rear....

I made some Franken combos that have spoons on one end. So far so good.

19mm wrench ground to tire iron

I think I did something like xcrcarpenter did for my 2012, which needs a 19mm wrench for the front axle. There is NOT a 19mm in the factory tool kit.
This was a cheap Harbor Freight 19mm wrench that I used a grinder on the open-end side to make another tire iron out of. My trail kit has an 11" and 8" tire iron and this one for those times you need one more iron.
Hope this idea helps!
