Can some one list the tools and sizes I can go to my local hardware store and buy for Emmons P/P tuning.
Thanks
Also need to know the size of the Sho-Bud tuner tool.
I need sizes. I need them sooner than I could get them shipped to me. I need to purchase at the local hardware store

Is the Sho-Bud nylon nuts or barrel?

The Sho-Bud is exactly like the red one pictured above color and everything.

In that case, a 3/16 nut driver, although a 5mm will work better

You will also need a 5/64 hex wrench to loosen and tighten the set screws on the rod collars.

A 3/8 wrench is needed to adjust pedal height. 3 in one oil - small throwaway plastic cups and small paint brushes are good to have. Also look for ball end Allen wrenches in case you have to angle in on a Allen screw. Also a small magnet on a handle (which you will want to keep away from the pickups). Also a small flashlight.

Some more info on the Emmons P/P would be helpful.
