Joe, you're more than welcome. If you can find one with a "ball end" you'll like it better than one that is "hex" only. Either one will work, but the ball end slips into the hex head screw a bit easier.

NAPA auto parts sells them. The plain hex end is
29 cents each or so. The ball end is about $2.00 each. |

Joe,
If there is a mill supply in your area, you might like the "Bondus" brand, they make one that is like a screwdriver, would be ideal for PP guitars.

The ones in the set won't fit under the steel to reach some of the knee levers to adjust them. I have to use single ones. But then, I'm JUST a girl and probably using it wrong.  |

Maybe so on some steels, Tamera, but on my Sho-Bud, all the allen set screws are facing away from the wood top. So the longer part of the allen wrench fits right in.
