Yeah, what Hellbat said!

I've got an old Kahler steeler variant (fulcrum trem) with Imperial bolts....where the heck can I find a wrench holder for that?!?

[nhspike]

Imperial = non-metric?
Sorry...
Dumb question?
Some (like the Schaller that came stock on bunches of Kramers/Charvels) seem to have a ball-detent (setscrew with a spring-loaded ball at the end), that allows for a certain amount of variation in size.
What size was the Kahler Allen wrench?

Exactly.

That's the one I have and like. I like to put the holders on. Playing live I have a backup guitar, but when practicing it's nice to have the wrenches there handy just in case and not have to figure out where I last saw an allen wrench.

Since the holder is on the back of the headstock it doesn't make difference in looks and so long as you drill the pilot hole, as stated here, there's no worry about splitting/cracking the headstock .. but remember to put some blue tape on the drill bit so you don't go too deep!

I installed one on a guitar many years ago and also have one that came stock on my Fusion. I find it very convenient for quick string changes and unclamping for retuning when the fine tuners bottom out. If installed properly, it should have no detrimental effect on headstock integrity. As far as aesthetics...the back of my guitar does not get much attention, so, to me, the functionality is well worth the trade off in aesthetics. I will not hesitate to add one to any Floyd equipped guitars that I may pick up in the future.
