MusicNomad MN238 Heel Nut Truss Rod Wrench

Blue-handled MusicNomad wrench with differently angled slotted ends.

When to choose it

Choose this wrench when the guitar’s adjuster is a compatible slotted heel nut. Compare the two approach angles with the clearance at the neck heel, where a headstock wrench may not reach the hardware correctly.

The listing says the pickguard must be removed for the intended access method. Verify that procedure for the exact guitar and stop if the driver cannot sit squarely in the slot.

Questions about this product

Is it intended for a hex nut at the headstock?

It has slotted ends for supported heel nuts. Check the appropriate drive for a headstock adjustment.

Can I choose by a Fender model name alone?

Check the exact instrument's adjuster shape and position. A model family can have several versions.

Why are the ends angled differently?

The two angles give separate approaches to the slot where the work area has limited clearance.
