Here are some more information for Long Allen Hex:

The main purpose of setting guitar action is to get maximum playability and sound quality out of that instrument. If you do not feel comfortable while playing on your guitar or if it is making buzzing sounds, it needs action adjustments or setup. If you prefer to do the setup yourself, you may require tools like screwdrivers, wire cutters, feeler gauges, nut files, and Allen or Hex keys.

The main adjustments for setting guitar action include the following:

Truss Rod Adjustment: This is a metal object that runs along the length f the guitar. The main job of this part is to counter the tension of the strings and to control the neck curvature. Check truss rod if your instrument shows the tendency to buzz when playing low positions. You can adjust truss rod by turning the truss rod nut with help of an automotive feeler gauge and a Cap. Adjustment of this part cannot change the action, but it can avoid buzzing noises. This is a very delicate job and you should be careful not to break anything while adjusting it.

Nut Height Adjustment: If you find it very difficult to play chords and notes on the first few frets, it indicates that the nut slots are not deep enough. Use a nut file or needle file to deepen the nut slots. If they are too deep, it will cause buzzing sounds. Raise the slots by placing a shim under the nut or replace the nuts.

Saddle Adjustment: Adjusting the action or height of the strings can have great impact on the playability of the instrument. If you want to lower the action, after removing the strings, take the saddle out. Draw a line on it to mark your preferred height. Rub the saddle on the sandpaper to reduce its height. If you need to higher the action, place a shim under the saddle to raise the height of strings.

Intonation Adjustment: Intonate your guitar after any adjustment is made. This can be done with help of a tuner, cable, and screwdriver. After tuning with a tuner, play a harmonic note at the 12th fret. Then, make a fretted note at the 12th fret and compare its pitch with that of the harmonic note. If the pitch of the fretted note is sharp, you have to raise the height of the strings and move the saddle away from the neck using saddle adjustment screws. If the pitch is flat, you should shorten the screws by shifting the saddle towards the neck.

Fixing A Jammed Garbage Disposal – You Really Don't Need A Plumber

It seems like it always happens at just the wrong time.  You've got guests over, you're in the kitchen getting dinner ready and the garbage disposal jams.  Do you know how to clear that jam safely or are you going to call a plumber?  This article will walk you through a couple of easy steps that not only will have your disposal running smoothly again but save you that expensive plumbing house call.

The first thing you want to do is determine if the disposal has power.  Flip it on and then off.  If you heard a humming the unit has power.  However if you didn't hear anything, then it likely has tripped a circuit breaker.

Here's the fun part.  Open the cabinet doors under the sink and move all the cleaning supplies, buckets and whatever else you have stored down there so you can get to the bottom of the disposal unit.  Most disposals have a red button on the bottom.  Press it and then see if you have power.  If you don't, then go to your circuit breaker box and reset the breaker that controls the disposal.

If you have power but you get the humming sound then something is stuck in the disposal.  Most modern disposals have a slot in the bottom of the unit that will accommodate a ¾ inch Allen wrench (hex wrench).  Insert the wrench in the slot and work it back and forth until you clear what ever is stuck.

If you don't have a wrench, or your unit doesn't have a slot for it, use a short broom handle or a long wooden spoon and insert it from the top until you feel one of the impellers.  Push in one direction and then the other until the impeller comes free.

Turn off the power to the unit and using a flashlight and long nose pliers remove whatever jammed the disposal.  Turn the power back on and run cold water to flush the system.  You should be back in business and you will probably have impressed your guests with your amazing plumbing skills.

Here's a tip to keep the disposal clean.  Eggshells work like sandpaper in your disposal.  If you are in the habit of throwing eggshells into the trash, start tossing them down the disposal instead.  As the shells are ground up they scrape off grease and other debris from the inside of the unit.
