Shout out to this great tool

I've always been faffing about with keeping (and then trying to find!) the right wrenches in my guitar tool box - metric, imperial, etc. Tried a few socket sets as well over the years, as they're arguably more suitable than flat wrench for nuts, but they never seemed to have enough clearance for a pot shaft.

Got one of the these the other day and I'm suitably impressed



Everything in one handy tool, that's not likely to scratch finishes if you're cack-handed like me. Good quality screwdriver bit too, and once you remove the bit you have a perfect 1/2in driver for those annoying recessed jack outputs.

Put a guitar back to stock the other night (including tuners, pots, switch) and this made the job a doddle.

Now, if one has a dedicated workbench and tool rack I'm sure you can get much better quality, dedicated tools. But for a "quick setup" toolbag, it's great. Not too pricey either.
