1.0 out of 5 stars Poor ergonomics, missing important hex wrench sizes., October 10, 2004

This review is from: Roadie Rench Roadie Rench

The Roadie Rench contains a medium Phillips screw driver; a medium slotted screw driver; a wire cutter; and the following hex (Allen) wrenches: 1.5mm, 2.5mm, 3mm, 0.050", 5/64", 3/32", 5/32".

It does not include a 5/16" nutdriver, the tool needed to adjust Gibson necks. It does not include 1/8", 3/16" hex (Allen) wrenches, the most popular sizes to adjust Fender necks.

The string cutter will not cut bass strings.

The large handle on this tool makes using the screwdrivers very awkward in tight places. It is impossible to adjust a tune-o-matic bridge with such a large handled screwdriver.

It is more practical, and less expensive, to carry the correct size wrenches and screwdriver in your guitar case.

This review is from: Roadie Rench Roadie Rench

I was not impressed with this tool at all. First off, with such a huge handle, it's hard to do truss rod adjustments. You can't get the tool close enough to do anything, and you can't take the wrenches off because then the whole tool falls apart and they don't have any sort of "handle" on them to use them once free from the tool. Also, it doesn't come with the common sizes of allen wrenches to adjust a lot of the more popular guitars. If you have a Fender, I wouldn't bother with it unless you only need to adjust things down at the bridge. The string cutter is also not that great. Like the other reviewer said, I would suggest finding the allen wrenches your guitar needs and keeping those with you, as well as a quality set of wire cutters.
