You have to crank the 3/16 bolt all the way back before putting a new string on - a drag at a gig, or anywhere, for changing all 10...

Bill Rudolph's Williams T-handle tuning wrench is perfect for tuning and nylon nuts - no grip needed, easy to make small adjustments - but it is tough to spin around a lot without falling off...

I didn't want a whole battery-operated screwdriver with 3/16 socket in my seat (heavy, and batteries die)...

So a combo of a standard guitar peg winder, and a Williams wrench, which fits perfectly in the winder, is weightless, foolproof, and perfect. It didn't need it, but I filed down the end slot and drilled out the recess to make the wrench sit perfectly flat in the winder...
