MusicNomad The Octopus 8 'n 1 Tech Tool (MN227)

I usually find these guitar multi tools gimmicky and not very useful. This is a must have. Great all in one when changing strings and doing basic tune ups (tightening screws, changing jacks, tightening volume and tone pots, etc.). Great piece of gear.

A great mutli function tool to have when making adjustments! Has almost everything you'd need in one nicely thought out tool! Grab one!

Great

A must have for guitar players. The Octopus has all of the most common nut sizes needed to tighten up just about everything on an acoustic or electric guitar. More importantly, because the Octopus is made from nylon, it is much less likely to scratch up your guitar, or damage the guitar's hardware. Also included is a screwdriver multi bit with a Phillips and flat head side. The bit holder is standard 1/4", so other bits can be purchased and added as needed. It is small enough to fit inside a gig bag without taking up valuable space, making it easy to bring along with you to practice or a show. And its cost makes it almost foolish to not own. It is solidly made and it feels like it will hold up for quite a long time as long as it is being used for guitar maintenance only.

edit: I'm revising this up after using it a couple more times. It is actually pretty well suited to the tasks one encounters when overhauling a guitar. Yes, it is made of plastic but nothing done to a guitar should require a ton of torque. This is basically a monkey wrench with a screwdriver on the other side. Unfortunately it's made entirely of plastic other than the exchangable screwdriver head. So it slips, inspires no confidence, and will almost surely not last long. If one even bothers to take it that far.

MusicNomad scores again with another practical tool for guitarists and other stringed instrument aficionados. I was looking for a tool to tight an input jack for my Tele and I found it. The bonus- the octopus does eight other tasks, as well. It fits in your case and weighs about 3 ounces. For the price, you can’t afford not to have one in a pinch.

Fantastic

I mainly got this item to tighten the darn nuts on the output jacks of my guitars. For some reason, they always seem to get loose. This item can tighten even the tricky ones where a regular wrench can't go, and it won't scratch your finish. There are other tools that come in handy too.

DEVO DIRE CHE' UN TOOL ESSENZIALE PER CHI VUOLE RIPARARE O AVVITARE I BULLONI CHE SI TROVANO SULLA CHITARRA SI ACUSTICA CHE ELETTRICA NON FA DIFFERENZA POI E' MOLTO PRATICO HA DUE TIPI DI CACCIAVITI E SVARIATE CHIAVI CHE NATURALMENTE SONO COMPRESE INSOMMA COME SEMPRE LA MUSIC NOMAD SI COMPORTA MOLTO BENE SU QUESTO TIPO DI OGGETTI ED ALTRI CHE HA FATTO PER IL MANTENIMENTO OTTIMALE DELLO STRUMENTO....................

Firstly, I ordered the Nomad 8 in 1 tech tool but was sent the 17 in 1 version, at no extra cost! It arrived sooner than expected. Really useful piece of equipment that I bought initially to tighten the nut on a Strat jack plate, but have also used for other things since. It works well and seems to be made of hard wearing material.

Très pratiques et ultra compact, idéal pour faire un check-up rapide avant de jouer ( resserré l’embase jack, les mécaniques… ) bref il permet de faire des réglages de bases et essentiel, mais très pratique pour le coup 👍

You could think it's a little expensive for a molded plastic handle and a double ended metal screw bit. But the concept and usefulness completely justifies the price. This tool was engineered by a guitar guy and it shows. It combines all the tools you will need to tinker on about any guitar: screw driver (flat and Phillips) along with assorted size hex wrenches (sizes: 10mm, 12mm, 14mm, 1/2" & 7/16" + 1/2" narrow profile for tele cups and sunken pots). The construction of the hex wrenches that are molded into the ballistic nylon handle will prevent scratches to your guitar (and they will never get lost). EDIT: 10mm wrench stripped on first use swapping tuner pegs on a tele type guitar, so the ballistic nylon handle can't handle torque. Would have been better if the wrench were recessed metal in the ballistic nylon: this would have made a solid tool and I wouldn't have minded the extra bucks in order to get something that would have been truly bullet proof solid construction. I now ordered a separate 10mm deep socket and ratchet handle, this sucks.

La navaja suiza para ajustes de la guitarra. Bien de precio.
