Did you check the George L's Booth? They usually have them. That is what most of the pickers use. He has a website. Just check the links portion of the forum to get there.

| If all else fails go the Sears and Sawbuck and buy a 3/16 nutdriver. |

| I have a regular 3/16 nut driver,but its so big,the one's I see the steelers use are very small,almost the size of a pocket screwdriver.Surely someone here knows where I can get one.The George L tool is a little round aluminum tool ,but its too little. |

| I made a nifty little tuning wrench by cutting off a Thrift Shop 3/16 socket wrench to about two and a half inches in length. Then I took a Fender Telecaster metal volume control and a 3/16 drill bit and widened the hole to accept the piece of socket wrench. I put the piece of 3/16 wrench with a little epoxy in the hole, screwed in tight the set screw at the side, and voila! A nice little tuning wrench. I also have a George L aluminum tuner which I took the brass cap for a Coleman camp stove and with my Dremel tool routed out the little brass pieces inside the cap. Then with some JBWELD I glued the bigger brass handle on the aluminum handle of the tuning wrench. Easier to get a grip on for me. |
