Gibraltar High Torque Drum Key

Very good. Great length for adjusting rack components!

The Remo djembe "Mondo" head has a very high collar. So the drum tensioning rod is well below the level of the top of the head. And there's not much room around the top of the rod to put a large ratchet. This Gibraltar "high-torque" wrench is long enough to reach from the top of the head to the tensioning rod. And it's skinny enough to turn freely in the available space. It works very nicely.

This is a nice key heavy duty and extra length. I needed one longer than normal for my Dyna-sonic snare so I could adjust the tension near the snare frame and this key does the trick. Also hard to loose because of it's size.

Pros: Well constructed, extremely durable Longer than your average key (may be a con for some) Cons: May be a bit large for some Fixed handle (I prefer one that slides)

The gibraltar high torque drum key is probably the best drum keys your can get. It is about 3 inches long, which makes it harder to lose than most other drum keys i've had. I've had the drum key for about three months and I have not lost it yet, which is great :). It is heavy and made out of steel, and the weight makes tuning that much easier.
