Description: This offering is for fifteen (15) PREMIUM Authentic Brand Capo Spikes for stringed instruments in new condition. These are not just bent nails. They are precision machined-steel spikes with a formed, oval head, long point and a square, serrated shaft making them ideal for use on stringed instruments like a Banjo as a 5th String Capo. These are longer than the Standard Authentic Spikes. They are also dimensionally consistent and have a more defined square shaft and treads to prevent the spike from spinning when properly installed in a tap hole. The top of the domed head is smooth, rounded. They are sharp and have machined treads down the side of the square shaft for a lasting, sure grip. They measure: 9.3mm (3/8”) long; .8mm (.03” - 1/32”) square shaft; 2mm x 1.5mm ( 5/64” x 1/16”) oval head; .7mm (3/128”) right angle head overhang. A tap drill of .028” (#70) is recommended for installation. ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– S H I P S F R E E ––––––––––––––––––– INSTALLATION: There are no instructions included with the order. Installation is fairly straightforward— drill a tap hole and tap in the spike. Though, you’re working with something very tiny on a precious fret board and all stringed instruments are not alike. It’s all about the tap hole. The neck composition will determine the difficulty level. A pin-prick followed by a tap hole should be made in the neck where you want a string capo'd, maybe at a very slight angle. A drill bit size of .028” / #70 is recommended. Put a mark on the drill bit with a marker to the desired depth. Drill the hole then gently tapped the spike in to the proper depth to hold the string down. If all you can find is a 1/32” drill bit for a tap hole it may help to put some glue on the shaft for a solid grab. It's also recommended that the neck is held solidly while you do this and a small hand crank drill be used. Be careful if you use a Dremel type drill. It can do some quick damage. Be sure the head is pointed in the right direction before you tap it in. The shaft, being very square, wont turn once it’s installed. Good Luck !
