Pedulla Truss Rod Tool - suitable Alternative?

[dyerseve]

Has anyone found an alternative for the original Tool as i have two Pedullas and neither has one.

Ive heard of people using an "autoharp tuning wrench" however i have tried 2 different ones and neither fit...

@Hellzero pointed me towards one which does do the job - it's a 3/16" tuning peg (American so out of step with the rest of the world), a Grover 8020 does the job. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Grover-8020-Autoharp-Tuning-Hammer/dp/B0002F7IEE (it's actually a black plastic handle). In case you don't already know, the truss rod is the reverse of conventional (clockwise to loosen) and it's got a very strong action so when you might expect to put a half turn on a non-Pedulla truss rod, you'll probably need an eighth of a turn on the Pedulla.

Thank you very much @tauzero ! Thats extremely helpful. As im located in Germany i had to find an alternative as they wouldnt ship here. However i found the same thing much cheaper and with free shipping from Amazon US. 

For others in my predicament this is what i have ordered:

I have no idea but it's unkind to start a thread about a Pedulla and not share a picture... 😁

Lol, how very rude of me! I am away from home currently. I have one more on the way that wont arrive until early October. When it does arrive, this is what it will look like...

Just to confirm that the tools arrived and function perfectly. Thank you @tauzero for pointing me in the right direction!
