Cheaper doesn't mean inferior
This is a little cheaper than some other (ahem) brands. I only have one Ibanez guitar and only one guitar with a locking trem (a Floyd thing made in Germany by Schaller a very long time ago), but looks to me like it's got all you need to set up your whammy bars.
Because I hate locking trems (I believe they suck the tone, and there is more surface-to-unit contact in PRS, end of) some of the benefits of this little guy might go unused by me, but if you're one of those Vai types, then basically, you need this.
I got this mainly for purposes of set-up, and perfect intonation, and it has everything I need. With a decent strobe tuner and this, you can set your axe up pretty much professionally. That'll cost you at least 30¤ in a guitar store. So this within the space of a year will pay for itself. So learn how to change strings perfectly (it's quite easy these days, even with locking trems), get one of these and take the power back!
Oh yeah, and it's by Ibanez. Not my chosen brand but millions can't all be wrong. A fine piece of kit.

Great little all around tool outside of guitars too!
I've used this nice little multitool for a couple of years now, especially on my Ibanez guitar, with the help of tuning, messing with the bridge, or just general work to make my life easier when maintaining it.
What makes this tool great for me is that it is still possible to use it outside of just guitars. I've carried it around and had someone require a screwdriver, which I let them borrow, and it was so great to see it actually help them out because their own screwdriver didn't fit.
The only thing that feels a little flimsy to me is the little ruler for checking fret height for the strings; despite not having used it much, it somehow did start to twist a bit on its own over time. How, I have no idea, but it does take a few points off of it from me.
Even if the little ruler started to twist in my case, I'm still happy I bought it as it certainly helps me with a load of assembly both for guitar and everyday work, so much that I think it's a must-have for any guitarist that's looking to have some tool to help them with their guitars and more!

Ibanez tool past niet op ibanez gitaar
Mijn oude Ibanez (einde 70er jaren, heeft een amerikaande trusrod stijl Gibson. Dus Inch maat en geen Gibson 6 kant. Kortom super voor al mijn gitaren behalve de Ibanez.

Kätevä kapistus
Pienikokoinen sisältääkseen niin monta työkalua. Kulkee kätevästi soittimen kantolaukussa mukana. Toki jos kotona tai pajalla soittimia enemmän laitat niin toki "oikeat" työkalut ovat aina parempia käyttää.
Suosittelen tälläistä jokaiselle soittimen kantolaukussa mukana kulkemaan.

Has everything you would need to set up or fix an instrument
Has everything you would need to set up an instrument, has multiple sizes of screwdriver. Quality is good at best. The ruler is a bit flimsy as it is very thin... other than that I can't really find any faults with it

It helps more often than you'd think
Nice little multitool for the road, and to keep on hand for quick adjustments. Has all the basic stuff you'll need. Good value.

Average, not too practical
It would be a lot better if the screwdrivers had a lock system, overall it’s ok

Handy tool
I bought this because I kept losing my allen wrenches on dark stages.
This one is large enough to stand out.
It's not the most ergonomical tool to use, but having everything together in a small package really does help out when dooing weekenders/small diy tours. Esp when changing strings and setting up guitars on the road.
