Awesome Tool For Intonation

[Ripthorn]

I completed my telecaster build the other night and started to do the intonation part of the setup. The thing that really gets me about doing this is that I have to use a screwdriver to adjust the screws while trying to keep the handle up off the body so as to not scuff it. However, this makes getting a good grip on the screw difficult and can strip the screw heads. Well, I went to my friendly neighborhood Harbor Freight last night and picked up a set of these

screw drivers. They are 22" long, more than long enough to put the handle off the edge of the body. This allowed me to come straight-on at the screws. It worked perfectly, and for 5 bucks, I don't think it can be beat. I know what a lot of people say about HF, and yes, some of their stuff is lousy, and yes, some is great. I think these fall under great, seeing as how they will only be used for guitar intonating. Now I just have to figure out what to do with the flathead one...

The flat head could be used to roast sausages

Long screwdrivers, and long drill bits for that matter are really handy for setups and other final preparations.

Nice find
