Today is Bongo Day for me..

This is what I found to be a perfect "truss rod adjustment tool", a trusty old nail punch. I had a screwdriver break in half once on a frozen truss rod as it wasn't stainless. No way you'll ever bend one of these. You should never half to use excessive force.

Thanks guys.. I finally found something that worked and has not bent yet..

That worked "Perfect" and I learned something Thanks...

BUT anyone suggested a good tool to do this... I tried 2 different small screwdrivers that would fit in the hole and both of them bent.. Seems like the smaller screwdriver that fit in the hole bend easy..

But the sound is perfect now.. No more Buzzing..

I have a set of allen wrenches and the one that is barely small enough to fit into the hole in the wheel is the one that I use as it's strong enough to do the job. I also support the allen wrench close to the truss rod wheel while I'l applying pressure.

OK, ...now put that "something" in Your Bongo's case and carry it always with Your bass!
