D'Addario Pro-Winder Guitar Restringing Tool w/ Clipper

This tool makes stringing the guitar a lot easier! I have an injured wrist, arthritis, from an old cleaning job and I could definitely use this product.

By the time you finish changing guitar strings the conventional way, your fingers and nerves are frazzled. Normally one has to hunt up pliers, wire cutters, and wind the strings, very time consuming. This all in one tool takes out the string holders, cuts the wire, and then tightens the strings. I love it.

I feel a little embarrassed getting this thing. it comes in very handy if you break a string on your guitar or any other string instrument you are playing. If you tend to break strings frequently I can see a use for it, but for me it's just luxury. If/when you break a string you connect it to the tension screw, unwind the broken string. then you install a new string and wind the tension screw simply by cranking it with the help of this gadget. It's fast and easy. Once the new string is in place, you can now cut off that annoying end string that it sticking out at the end of your guitar. There is a third function on this guitar tool that I still have to figure out how to use. It should be used when you install the new string. I leave it to you to figure out. I will end this review by telling that it is very well make, nice and sturdy. It's made in the USA by D'Addalio. I wish you all the luck performing with your newly stringed guitar, base or whatever string instrument you are playing.

It worked great with winding the guitar strings and cut the strings nicely. It made stringing my guitar a breeze.i don't have to worry about my kids pricking there fingers on sharp pieces now because it made them cut the strings smoothly.

I was considering buying an electric winder but I don't play as often as I should to really need one. This winder works just fine for the job. It speeds up the winding process by about 5 times, and I don't have to go search for a wire cutter to cut the string once I've finished winding it, as it has the cutter built it. It cut it cleanly. I don't know that I'll ever use the bridge pin puller as I've never needed one before, but it's there if I ever do.
