Useless (probably) tip of the day

So......I've started playing my leckie guitar tuned down a tone. Great on my old and arthritic fretting fingers....but need to tighten up the truss rod a smidge. Only problem is the set of hex keys that I have doesn't  have the size for the truss rod. The last and only time that I adjusted the rod, I used the key that was a tad too small....and wrapped the rubber from a condom around the end for a snug fit (the said condom was 6 years out of date btw.  

This worked last time......and I was gonna find me a proper sized hex  key at that time but didn't get round to it.
What is the correct size truss rod key for a Squier Tele?

Use a newer condom............. safe hex.

Is this the one situation when lubrication is not your friend ?

  Do you mean loosen?

or have I got that wrong?

And the winner is......Grunfeld. He's the only one of you who spotted my 'deliberate' mistake.
Please accept a wisdom Grunfeld. The rest of you need to do better.

Is this a thinly veiled humble-brag because you are/or have been sexually active in some way?

Personally I'd be worried admitting that the condoms I buy are small enough to fit on an Allen key

6 year old condom? that's a hell of a dry patch you're going through. Your right arm must be ripped by now.
