Gripper Truss Rod Wrenches


Read 33 Reviews   |   Write a Review

Dang! Somebody used the wrong size wrench, and now you can't adjust that worn Allen truss rod nut. Fear not, our Gripper wrenches can save the day! Each wrench has a 3/8"-long end that tapers from slightly undersize to slightly oversize, giving you a snug fit to turn the nut and avoid a costly replacement job.

SAVE on the complete set of 9!

Our veteran guitar technicians developed these high quality steel truss rod wrenches. The length, comfortable rubberized handles, durability and variety of sizes let you perform formerly difficult truss rod adjustments with ease. The straight wrenches are 12-1/2" long, keeping your knuckles safely away from the peghead.

Special notes for the soundhole wrenches
1/8" is for Hot Rod truss rods. #6110-G is for pre-August 2007 Martins; #6114-G and #6212-G are for later Martins. Triple-bend wrenches provide clearance under the guitar's braces.

Great wrench after a little tweak

I used this for my 2004 Highway 1 Strat which had it's rod jammed. As I lost the original Fender key I initially tried a regular 1/8 allen key but the hex was fractionally too small, which resulted in the key becoming worn.

I got the Stew Mac 1/8 truss rod wrench but the length of the taper was a little too long for the depth of the nut so it couldn't grab the nut properly. I filed away some of the length of the wrench and then it worked perfectly.

Saved my Strat!

my truss rod had been stripped for a year or so and nothing would work until I found this tool. Worked like a charm no slipping or any more damage done to truss rod. Thank you StewMac

Wonderful!

Avevo montato un manico strato de luxe in palissandro sul body della mia american standard stratocaster. Per regolare il truss rod avevo spanato l'alloggio della brucola. Terrore senza fine. Temevo i costi di riparazione di un liutaio. Quando mi sono imbattuto in questo articolo non ci ho pensato su due volte ed appena ricevuto l'ho provato. Si è alloggiato alla perfezione e, come di incanto, il truss rod ha ripreso a girare. Un miracolo. Grazie Stewart Mc Donald!

Excellent

I bought the complete set. These wrenches work great. The extra long length works well and having a solid handle on the right-angled wrenches is great. Way better than trying to use an allen wrench inside a guitar's soundhole. I've written it before but once again, Stewmac has one of the most user-friendly sites around. They ship FAST!

Gets the job done

I bought these when I had a guitar with a stripped truss nut. I bought the whole set, figuring I'll need them eventually. I fixed the guitar is about 3 minutes. I'll be using these from now on instead of the cheapies that come in every new guitar box. Great wrench, no worries.

Gripper

This wrench prevented me from being forced to replace a soundhole mounted truss rod that was rounded out. What a relief!

Gripper Saves The Day

I run into so many stripped truss rod nuts that need the Gripper T-Rod Wrench. It is one of my most used and useful tools in my shop, which is why it wears out quicker than I would like.

Gripper - Yes!

A fine product - helped fix a 5 year problem with a tele neck. Was able to get truss rod nut moving and neck adjusted - overcame nut being frozen and allen threads almost stripped.

Highest recommendation.
