I need a BadAss bridge allen wrench

Sign in to disble this ad
Hey dudes. I can't find that super tiny allen wrench for bad ass bridges. Can someone help me out and mail me an extra? If so PM me and I'll provide my address. I'd appreciate it greatly.

It's a .5 or .05.

My dad had a few sitting around and gave me one. It stinks because you have to buy the whole set to get a tiny wrench.

A lot of local hardware stores carry tiny allens in singles for about a buck. Both my local Ace / True Value shops do. Also you can often pick them up in a screwdriver format, which I find easier to use than the bent kind.

OK. Will do. I wasn't sure if that size would be easy to find or not.

The Badass uses an American 4-40 set screw for the saddle height adjustment. The wrench is .05 inches. It's the same size as an American Strat or Tele wrench.

Most repair shops have a pile of those laying about. Ask you local tech if you can buy one.
