Humbucker Helpers

I can't count the number of times I've fumbled with pick-up springs. Never again. Tricky to use the first time, but once you figure them out they are a "must have."

Does what you bought it for once you figure it out. Be careful, you can easily scratch metallic mounting rings with these. I put some tape on the inside of the top the second time and it helped some.

These save you a lot of time and hassle once you get the hang of using them.

I found these not very helpful, and don't use them. The height is too short for longer screws, and the hole and slot too small for ease of use.

I did use these and the two pickups was mounted in a couple of minutes.

The first time (without the helpers) it took a long time, with many failed attempts and searching for that spring that got away somewhere ... again.

Easy to use and quick to install.

Maybe I'm just one of the dumb ones, but these don't save me any time. The springs squeeze right through the slot, and some screws don't go through the hole. I spend more time trying to keep the spring from sliding through and all around the slot than it would take to just put the thing together.

This thing really speeds things along. 4 stars only because i felt kinda stupid that i couldn't figure how to use it at first and there was no instruction. I got the hang quickly though.

Do what they say, thank you :)

One of the most annoying parts about swapping humbuckers is getting the springs back in. This tool saved me from fishing around to see where that spring just popped off to. Thank you!
