BIG Tuning Wrench (Black/Red/Silver)--It's A Go!

[Carl Williams]

“The BIG Tuning Wrench” will be back! I hope to have them ready to go within the next month. It will be available in Black and Red as well as the original color of Silver (Aluminum). (See Photos Below) (Make sure you look at the last photo which shows the other "standard" tuning wrenches and how they size up next to the BIG Tuning Wrench) The dimensions of this wrench are: Shaft is 1.5" long; works on a 3/16" hex tuning nut and goes to a depth of 5/16" into the shaft. The Knob is 1.5" in diameter and the knurled turning surface width is 5/8". It's milled out of aluminum and anodized for color. The Black and Red wrenches will have a small hole drilled into the middle of the Knob in order to make the anodizing process easier. I sold the BIG Tuning Wrench for five years on the Forum but stopped in the fall of 2012. Now that I’ve retired for the second time (U.S. Air Force and State of Oklahoma), I have a little more time to do what I want to do (With the Wife’s/Boss’ supervision of course)! 

If you would like to get on a list (No obligations of course but only a “wish list” with potential buyers) for a wrench, please email me at: carlwilliams2@att.net and let me know the following:
1. Number of wrenches you would want?
2. Which wrench color(s) you would like?
3. What brand of steel you would be using the wrench on?

(Sales will be for the Lower 48 U.S. States Only)

Once again, there is no obligation but only a “wish list” with potential buyers. I’ll let you know the exact cost in my email response to you when the wrenches will be ready. The approximate cost of a colored wrench will be about the cost of an Extended E9th set of strings.(Silver will be a little cheaper)
Thanks, Carl
P.S. I’ve advised Michael Yahl of the possibility of selling the wrench again and hopefully he’ll be back in business soon…he’s got his version of the wrench and I was lucky enough to get the VERY first one! He’s a Master Machinist and the Forum/Steel Players everywhere are looking forward to his reopening of his business in Texas!

Stephen G.,
I've sent you a Private Message regarding a Black Wrench...Thanks, Carl

[Carl Williams]

Hey John,
Thanks for the positive feedback on both the wrench and my Willy...My very first custom built steel I've ever had in my 40 years of practicing to learn the contraption! Holler if you decide you want a wrench...Take Care, Carl
p.s. Just an FYI, but Red is winning out for favorite color as of right now anyway...

[Carl Williams]

Hey Mr. Fred...Hope all is well these days and the steel building business is continuing to keep you going! Your kind words are always appreciated and I know you have personal experience with the BIG Tuning Wrench...in fact, if I recall correctly, you have one on your Work Bench that helps to tune up every Justice Steel built! I've sent you a Private Message as well Fred. Once again, thanks for your continued support...Your Bud, Carl

Hey Carl..a version of your wrench made to fit a Mullen guitar would be a a welcome addition!

Hello Ford,

Thanks, Carl

[Jack Ritter]

I got 3 of these when they first came on the Forum and they sure simplify tuning and really help getting the settings where you want them accurately and very easy. Try it and I bet you would like it! Jack

[Carl Williams]

Hello Jerry & Ron...good to hear from you both and if memory serves, have both been past customers of the BIG Tuning Wrench! I've got you both down for a Red Wrench but please do me a big favor if you have a minute....Email me at: carlwilliams2@att.net and tell me you want a Red Wrench and this will help me keep everything in the same hole if you know what I mean...Thanks again...Carl

[Carl Williams]

Good point Tony...the old Pac-a-Seat can get pretty dark at a night gig!

Randy, thanks for the request...I've sent you a Private Message as well...Carl

[Malcolm McMaster]

Carl, will you be at Dallas show, and if so will you have tuners for sale? I would like a red one (MSA Milly) and a black one (Mullen) if you are there.

[Carl Williams]

Hi Malcolm,
Thanks for the inquiry...As of this time, I'll probably not make the Dallas show. The wrenches, if I get enough interest to go forward, wouldn't be ready by the Dallas show anyway. I'll add you to the Black and Red wish lists. Thanks again, Carl
