    Never ever tighten pots or inputs that way..they have to be held from the underside or you will destroy the wiring when they turn. Rookie mistake that cost allot of time and $ to repair, always remove the screws on a jack and/or cavity cover for this kinda repair.

    I bought Velcro brand cable ties that were in a roll like tape and it definitely made my life much easier, I have them on instrument, speaker and mic cables but also on my electric cords for my amps and pedalboard and anything that can tangle up. The Velcro ones are easy to find too, places like WallyWorld have them for a few bucks for a roll with a ton of them.

    I think it was like 650 on the spool for like 150 bucks (I think they gave me a break because I'd go through a couple a year in my labs).

      Fifth gadget combines two previous gadgets - string pushpin pullers are unnecessary as anyone who changes acoustic strings will attest - also every guitarist worth their weight in cheap strings always has clippers and a winder in their case, ready to go, BUT the proper way to string a guitar is with NO excess and NO clipping. Honestly relying on these gadgets is equatable to relying on someone else to tie your shoe-laces every morning. People should learn to use their brains more often and more efficiently - dont over complicate guitar gadgetry. For anyone actually serious about learning guitar - heres what you need. Get a peg winder, hex driver for truss rod, multitool for random hardware and a small ratchet with the correct sockets for nuts on input jack and hardware. ONLY carry 2 picks, if you lose them both, its just not meant to be and if you cant manage to use your fingers instead then you should put the guitar down and find a new hobby.

    Don't get the Ernie Ball Power peg. You can get something like a Bosch IXO (or other electric screwdrivers) for 20-40 bucks and just buy the Planet Waves drill bit peg winder for 5 bucks. You can use the electric screwdriver for other stuff and not just have a dedicated tool for tuning. Chances are you even have an electric screwdriver at home anyway.
    And i get promoting Hosa cable ties, but 50 cable ties in different lenghts cost 8 bucks, not 15. And Hosa gets theirs from China aswell...
