Please tell me the difference between an autoharp tuning hammer and wrench. I don't know which to buy for my Oscar Schmidt autoharp.Thank you.

I don't think there is a difference other them the handle size. Most hammers seem heavy duty

The wrench is used to adjust the height of the strings/ angle of neck. Probably adjustment is not needed unless strings rattle. Any adjustments should be very small and done in small increments. Look online for video help if needed.

The one impact has a detent ring on the anvil. This is basically used to hold sockets on like a normal socket wrench would. The other item has a smooth anvil, which allows the socket to slide off easily. So essentially they are the same item mechanically and the only difference is the anvil. It's a personal preference.

Do the tuning pegs have a squarish roundish shape? Like tuning pegs on a piano but much smaller? I'm pretty sure all autoharps have the same kind of pegs and this one should work. I say go for it. Get a 25$ purchase and shippings free for that item, kinda cool.

I really like this auto harp, but it does NOT have fine tuning. I haven't had any problems fine tuning it myself though - just a laborious process and needs to be done frequently in the first few months.

Mt Tekton wrench was broken when it arrived, but my other ratcheting "clicker" - a Craftsman - does both RH and LH thread. The Tekton should work the same.

Yes, an Allen wrench came with mine. It also came with a bow stringer. That is all you need.

Just the shape of the head of the wrench. No difference in the way they work. Just go ahead and buy one and you'll figure it out.

I think the MAIN tool you need is a second set of hands. I tried to do it by myself and, although the bolts have a great self aligning feature built in, I managed to mess up the threads. Luckily, I had a tap and chased the threads and finished the job without further incident. Oh, all the tools you will also need is a Torx screw driver (commonly called a 'star' screw driver.) The size if I'm not mistaking is a T40. I used the T40 bit and a little 1/4" ratchet, since the screws were pretty tight, especially after being in there for 13 years. As you can see it took me much longer than most, so I suggest you get a second set of hands, for a 10-20 minute job. :-) I think the MAIN tool you need is a second set of hands.

the size of the allen wrench isnt imorrtant. It comes with one.. Honestly are you really concerned with the allen wrench? you dont have them in your house to install it your self? dont burden me with this nonsense. I have a life, a big one. just saying. that aint all i have that is big. bub all in all I like it but I got it wetter than pam anderson and its been a little flakey ever since. but I blame myself. just like I blame my self for my unplanned son.

The tuner fits square shaped knobs on most autoharps and lap harps. I believe if you can go to the tuning hammer website it will give you dimensions.

I don't know anything about the Craftsman sander, so I can't really compare them. I use the Bosch a lot, primarily with the long narrow finger sander and it does a good job.

I know nothing about autoharps, but if you can pluck and tension each string separately, then you can tune each string with this tuner. However, the wiki article I checked on autoharps mentioned that the instrument can play chords and the tuner cannot work if more than one note is played at a time. When a (single) tone is sounded, the tuner shows the note in number of Hertz and the letter of the note that it is closest to, while indicating whether the note is slightly sharp or flat of that by the "needle", with the green light showing that the tone is in tune with that note.

I've seen one of these tuners used in tuning an antique reed organ, the reeds of which are essentially the same as those in harmonicas. I just opened a Hohner chromatic harmonica I have and observed the tell-tale scratches of tuning done at the factory (so a harmonica most certainly CAN be tuned) but I know I'd be nervous about attempting it myself.

Germany. No auto adjust. Very well made. Very German. I bought mine because a Stihl of this caliber would cost twice as much. Saws very well. But I am just an ordinary homeowner and do not use it for work or professionally. But I very much like it and am very glad I bought it. They also have a US website where parts can be easily ordered and technical help is available. Had a question about tightening the chain that was quickly answered.

i can add that it doesn't have full power for me. I think it is due to being under-air powered. I have it running through 50ft of standard air line, but the compressor only generates 120psi. I haven't had time to work it out yet, but beware if you don't have a large and capable compressor, you may not get the full rating force rating of the impact wrench. also take this with a grain of salt, as I am not an expert and haven't resolved the issue. I trust Craftsman in general. the fit and finish of the gun is nice.
