The wrench is the perfect key for my Infinity Mondo Djembe. I find that when I use the key in the straight up mode, I can tighten the pins to a point where the head gets so tight that the the black rubber handle will begin to spin just a little . This is very very close to the perfect tightness for me. I then bend the tools handle to the 90 degree mode and tighten just a bit more and I've got the perfect sweet spot I'm looking for on my drum. To me, this tool is indispensable. Read more

Exactly what I needed for tuning my Remo djembe. Fits well, nice product. Just what I expected. Would buy again if I lost this one. Read more

The tuning key does work really great. The shipment was a farcical disaster. I do not understand when shippers bypass byer's shipping recommendations. I have lived here for eighteen years and have learned what works and what doesn't. Read more

This is actually two parts put together. There is a handle (5 inches long when bent into an "L" x 3/4" diameter) and a socket with the usual square drum lug opening on the useful end and a standard 1/4" socket drive on the other end. The handle could be used with your 1/4" drive socket set and the socket could be used with any of your 1/4" drive wrenches (e.g., a ratcheting socket wrench, a "screwdriver" handle, extensions, etc.). This makes this tool a very versatile combination. Nothing wrong with how it comes (use it like a screwdriver or turn the lug 180 degrees, then flip the handle over and repeat), but it's even better than that. Mine did not look exactly like the photo shown on 1/1/14: my black, rigid plastic handle is a little fatter than the one shown and it has a perpendicular hole through the end for mounting on a nail or tying a string through.

smaller than i imagined it would be but works great on my Ashiko !! Read more

The tuning lugs of a Remo djembe are set far below the rim to give full freedom to the hands, and a standard drum key does not have enough length to clear the sides of the head when the key is turned. Since most available sockets are hexagonal, a four-sided key like this one is ideal. It has the necessary length, and the swivel action makes it very easy to use and fast. I bought my djembe used, and the seller no longer had the key that should have come with it. This one works great, and it is well-made and sturdy. So, if you need a spare or replacement, I can easily recommend it. Read more
