Review: Better than run of the mill drum keys, but pricey - Bought this as wanted something a little more substantial than the usual drum keys to go into a drum maintenance kit for drum tech work. This certainly fits the bill, sturdy and magnetic with a longer reach. Being able to spin it with the top part extension can make changing heads quicker. Its expensive compared to others, but as part of a drum servicing kit where you can keep track of where the key, its worth it. Still a place for the cheaper ones, that if you lose you can just reach for another one! Would I buy again? Yes although hopefully I won't need to!
Review: Best Drum Key - great feel, such a solid build quality. having a magnetic in the head is fab a when you put it on a drum lug it isn't going anywhere. in my opinion it looks great! leave it on ya floor tom lug and you know its always gona be there, well unless someone has taken it without asking :o

## Questions & Answers

**Q: does this fit a Banjo?**
A: I’ve seen these sold for tensioning a banjo head, but most banjos have hex head nuts. This device has a 1/4” square socket designed to fit a square drum tension rod. Trying to use this on a banjo would literally require fitting a hex head in a square hole!

**Q: Does this fit the string adjustment pins on pianos. Looking for a wrench to disassemble the strings from an upright piano  wanting to repurpose?**
A: They have it at guitar center... u can prob find out in store if it fits on piano pins👍

**Q: Is this "extremely handy?"**
A: Its cool... i think if you change drum heads a lot its worth getting. They also have em at guitar center if ya got one close by

**Q: I have a pearl Marching bass drum. Will this work?**
A: Yes, it will work on any drum. From my experience it works best on newer / clean drums, rust and gunk build up will cause the tension to pop the torque key.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good drum key
*by A***H on 26 December 2021*

Good value key with comfortable grip at top for faster lug removal. The curved handles are very good for grip also and the magnet stoops the frustration of dropping the key repeatedly. Overall good product
