i can't figure this out, what's the tool for tightening the guitar input jack called? and what kind of screwdriver do i need to raise the pickups? i've got a small one that i can't turn because the screws are rusty.
 
Not sure what you're asking about.
The 'jack' is the part where the guitar cable goes, and has a ring around it. That can be tighened by hand, rotating the ring. It's only service it to hold the connection tight to the faceplate.

Secondly, the screws are the mounting for the jack. If it's a crosshead (phillips) or flat (slot) screw driver required, I don't know. Usually a 2/3mm screw driver will do it.

If the screws are rusty then tap the screw driver in with a hammer. That might help to get some traction in the head. Otherwise, you'll have to drill out the screws or break the plate off and fit another.
 
to tighten the guitar input jack you can use your hands or even a pair of pliers (maybe even a socket wrench which imo is completely unnecessary). As -Noodles- said it's just the ring with a washer behind it. Righty tighty left loosey
