Hi everyone,

We're in the process of machining some jack tightening tools like this to make them available:

A wrench like this—known as a pin spanner—can be used to tighten the top portion of the output jack while preventing the barrel of the jack from rotating. The early Fly jack is a cool design, but rotating the jack can tear the delicate flex PCB cable inside the guitar. :oops:

We've 3D printed some parts that work well, so we're now in the process of machining a small batch! More info soon! Here's what the print looks like while tightening the Fly jack:

This is great!
I have successfully used a big paper clip for this purpose.
No matter - paper clip or fancy tool - one must hold the inside portion of the jack to avoid tearing of the flex cable.

Hi Greg—there are a few smaller projects like this wrench, vibrato arms, arm bushings, etc. that are in development and still something we intend to produce, but have taken a backseat to some of the larger FC projects.

Dear all -

Any news on this item? I'd love to get one if at all possible.... If you happen to have a STL for this?
