Members BottomHeavyKate Posted October 24, 2008 Members Share Posted October 24, 2008 I'm working from home today....which means I'm setting up my b/f's guitars (as best I can). I just had my 3/32" hex - I'm adjusting the bridge. I go to play it through an amp and come back and I can't find the damn thing anywhere!!

Members i_wanna_les_paul Posted October 24, 2008 Members Share Posted October 24, 2008 Don't ask me for help - this is the guy who has "lost" the remote control, only to "find" - it after a couple seconds looking - in his other hand. Two days ago, I lost a SD card for a few minutes - it was camouflaged on my mouse pad. Yes, I'm that kind of special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry, I put it where you can find it, it's with your left sock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members catphish Posted October 24, 2008 Members Share Posted October 24, 2008 Oy...I must have socket wrenches on the brain. I've been using them all day building games. I've found the best way to not loose allen wrenches is to buy the cluster tool where they are all locked into a housing together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members catphish Posted October 24, 2008 Members Share Posted October 24, 2008 that way, you loose them all in one fell poop. Possible, but IME the ones that wander off are always the most used ones. The clusters travel in a pack and, for whatever reason, are more likely to get put back in the toolbox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FuzzyJackrabbit Posted October 24, 2008 Members Share Posted October 24, 2008 Just get one of those tools where all the allen hexes flip out. Since it is a lot larger than a single wrench, it is easier to spot when you put it somewhere unconventional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members prosigna Posted October 24, 2008 Members Share Posted October 24, 2008 T-Handles Baby!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Hopi Posted October 25, 2008 Members Share Posted October 25, 2008 I've lost many of them. Worse yet, I'm so lazy that during a recent set-up, instead of replacing the last one I lost, I just shimmed the neck (wanted lower action near the neck pocket).

Ever try adjusting a truss rod with one of those? I like the T-handles the most. That reminds me, I need to replace the set of T-handles that mysteriously vaporized from my work bench...

Members catphish Posted October 25, 2008 Members Share Posted October 25, 2008 Wut? My two bass guitars are a Zon Sonus and a Modulus Quantum TBX. Both have composite necks. Neither have a truss rod. Wash n' wear, FTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
