winds great, but needs spring for cutter (2010-09-07) : 4/5
i love how quickly this winds up a string, and the cutter is sharp, but it would really benefit from a spring in the cutter.
Excellent string cutter (2010-09-06) : 5/5
I bought this mainly for the string cutter, although it has a peg winder and a bridge pin puller as well. At first I was skeptical because it's lightweight and the cutting ends are not sharp. I was wondering how well it could cut the loose ends of strings. I'm happy to say that it does an excellent job, much better than the pair of diagonal pliers I was using. It cuts the ends of strings easily and cleanly. It's nice not having to carry the pliers around, which are heavier and a little risky to your guitar should you happen to drop it or accidentally mar your headstock. As for the bridge pin puller, I tried it once but it is rather ineffective. I think it was included more as an afterthought as it's just a notched edge and can't really pull stuck pins. For pulling bridge pins without damaging the bridge I would recommend the Dunlop bridge pin puller which is inexpensive.br /br /Overall I give this 5 stars for the winder and cutter. I'd recommend this to any acoustic guitarist as an essential tool to keep in their guitar case.
A Must for Guitarists!! (2010-08-30) : 5/5
I have changed strings without a winder before and let me tell you that this little tool will save you a great deal of pain and time! Don't think I'll ever change strings without this again. The winder works real smooth and the cutter does its job great! The pin puller is pretty decent, even though I had trouble getting some pins that were too attached to the bridge. But as the name states it does a darn good job in winding and cutting and is a must have tool for every guitarist out there!
Easy to use (2010-08-18) : 5/5
I purchased this a while ago because I need both a guitar string winder and cutter. This tool gets the job done. I love it.
Great, even for a beginner like me (2010-07-20) : 5/5
I am a guitar string changing 'newbie' but these things make it so easy. I just bought these and watched a video on youtube about how to do it (sadly after I let my cousin try and he broke a string) and its so easy. I changed all the strings within about 20 min. This tool does everything you need. Plus its small so I carry it around with my little bag that has picks, a tuner, a metronome, extra strings etc. Good price, I would recommend it.
