Brace Repair Jack

This is a well-made, highly functional version of a tool we have used for years in the shop. The non-stick ends are a considerable upgrade from my home-made examples!

In response to the complaints about ease of use, this is not a do-it-for-you tool. Learning dexterity inside the box is part of getting your brace repair thing together. This tool does an excellent job, once you've acquired the technique of one-handed manipulation in a tight space. It's a big part of the trade!

They will work but not the quality I expected. Hard to use inside body with one hand.

I purchased four of these specifically for re-gluing loose back braces on classical guitars, where glue joint failure is most common, but found it impossible to single-handedly install them so they could be put to use.

It works, but the center piece is a little flimsy. You could do better at a hardware store, especially for $10.
