Looks like the folks at Stew-Mac must be reading this forum and/or may be reading TDPRI where back in December I suggested that Fender should knock off a tool that I found at the web site for "Telephone Tools of Georgia" which works great for adjusting the neck on Fender American Vintage guitars without removing or altering the neck or detuning the guitar.

This is how easy it is to adjust the truss rod in an American Vintage '52 Telecaster with the strings at tension, with the Telephone Tools of Georgia Offset Screwdriver or the Stewart-MacDonald tool, which looks identical except that it is silver and not black.

Both tools are very close but Stew mac tool look to have longer blade to go in truss ro slot .

Stew mac is $0.30 more than your tool,

I remember your post . You find a very good tool long time before Stew mac adds

+1 , I did not try it . IMO one 45 degree end is missing to be easier
