Good advice! I'd be nervous using power tools with these instruments. Besides, I enjoy the hand's-on approach when working on them, anyway.

A battery powered screwdriver ain't exactly a "power" tool in my book. :lol:


We're not the ones sniveling and whining about a lacerated hand now, are we?

:roll:

I never......EVER......use a powered hand tool of any type when servicing a guitar. Or an amp for that matter.

Where did you read whining or sniveling? Just telling others not to make the same mistake I did. So STFU Bob!

"I had it on tighten and the first string snapped like a twig and cut open my right hand between the knuckles and fingers. what a bone head I am, lucky I didn't put out an eye."

Whining. And sniveling.

I rest my case.

Feel free to shut me up though.

:lol:

Sounds more like a statement of fact to me. You're entitled to your opinion though. I am not in awe of you or intimidated by you, so move on down the road.

Thanks Mark I've had those for over 25 years. What I have is 10 times faster, you just can't daydream while using it.

No worries. I'm a Luddite :lol: . I even use a hand drill on my guitars, with the winding handle (I got time). Be nice to one another.
Goodonyaz ...Mark.

It's in the same drawer with the rest of your tableware and cooking implements.

Neither is a snapped guitar string under tension. However, it sure works like a powered edge trimmer, doesn't it. :?

Yeah, sort of I guess. Your point is what? Don't use your guitar as an edger, I agree :lol:

I merely know where your pooper scooper is and why it belongs in your kitchen.

Think about that the next time you change your Band-Aid.

Bon appetit.
