recommendations for new tuning lever?

[Ryan sowers]

Schaff's #4 Nylon tuning lever comes with a removable professional head and 
tip and sells for $37. I think its the best deal. The "goose necks" that I'm 
familiar with don't fit soldily on the pins: an exercise in frustration. 
Don't get anything that doesn't take standard professional heads and tips.
