does this fit a Banjo?

I’ve seen these sold for tensioning a banjo head, but most banjos have hex head nuts. This device has a 1/4” square socket designed to fit a square drum tension rod. Trying to use this on a banjo would literally require fitting a hex head in a square hole!

Does this fit the string adjustment pins on pianos. Looking for a wrench to disassemble the strings from an upright piano wanting to repurpose?

They have it at guitar center... u can prob find out in store if it fits on piano pins👍

Is this "extremely handy?"

Its cool... i think if you change drum heads a lot its worth getting. They also have em at guitar center if ya got one close by

I have a pearl Marching bass drum. Will this work?

Yes, it will work on any drum. From my experience it works best on newer / clean drums, rust and gunk build up will cause the tension to pop the torque key.
