1. Does the DP0002 work on classical guitars?
Yes – the DP0002 works with most classical guitar tuning pegs. However, classical strings are nylon and don’t require cutting with the built‑in cutter (use it only on metal strings).
2. Can I use the drill winder on any electric screwdriver?
Yes – the PW‑DBPW‑01 has a standard hex shank that fits most electric screwdrivers and drills. Use at low speed to avoid over‑tightening.
3. Does the multi‑tool (PW‑GBMT‑01) include a truss rod wrench?
It includes 4 metric hex keys (1.5, 2.5, 3, 4mm) and 3 imperial hex keys (0.05, 1/8, 3/16). These cover most standard truss rod nuts (typically 4mm or 5/32"). For larger or specialty nuts, check your guitar’s specs.
4. Is the string cutter on DP0002 sharp enough for bass strings?
The DP0002 cutter is designed for guitar strings (up to .056 gauge). For heavy bass strings (.100+), we recommend dedicated heavy‑duty cutters. The bass‑specific DP0002B has a cutter suited for bass gauges.
5. Will these tools scratch my guitar’s finish?
All tools have smooth, rounded edges and are made from materials that are gentle on finishes. However, always handle carefully around delicate headstock paint or lacquer.
6. Are these official D’Addario products?
Yes – all models are genuine D’Addario accessories, officially licensed and sold by authorized distributors. Each tool is backed by D’Addario’s quality guarantee.
