The jack that accepts the guitar cord and holds the strap onto my Martin acoustic guitar has become so loose that I'm afraid the wires inside are being twisted.
 
I tried to get my arm in the sound hole with the strings off and I almost tore the front off of my guitar and I got my arm stuck in there.Even then I don't think I was withing 5" of the nut inside. The only thing I can think of is to find a smallish person with small hands and arms.Do they make a tool for this?

I truss once you find a smaller armed person you won't fret any more.

No,  you have to find one manually.

The intonation of your sentence raises the scales on my back.

You type really well with only one hand free.

Michael,
 
That was very helpful of you to point out that $32 tool.
 
Let's see if Tim can order that with only Juan hand free.
