Gripper truss rod wrenches

These Gripper truss rod wrenches work on truss rod nuts whether they are new or chewed up.

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.

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. The cranked wrenches are just the job for working inside the soundhole of acoustic guitars, or for clearance on Fender style headstocks. Triple-bend wrenches provide clearance under the guitar's braces - essential on some Martins and other guitars such as older Larrivees.

Two wrenches are listed for modern Martins - in some models the truss rod nut is further away from the soundhole than was the case in pre-August 2007 models, and just needs a right angle wrench with a longer reach. In others (as with older Larrivees) it is tucked away behind a top brace, which needs the triple-bend version. Check your guitar before ordering.
