I picked up a set of the welders torch tip cleaners at a local welding supply, <$5. They worked fine for adjusting the nuts on a couple of Ukes purchased for Christmas gifts. Just remember to put some kind of protection on the headstock for possible scratching if you make too long of a stroke. The smaller ones are a bit bendy, but will do the job, just go slow. Also found a drop of rubbing compound on the tip cleaners helped them cut the bone nut slots on my Larriveés.
