This is the best tool I have ever used for changing guitar strings.

The crank handle broke off after some hard use, however I was amazed to be contacted by the manufacturer and offered a replacement

Junk; it won't hardly cut strings; hinge tightens every use, and now the rivet is so tight you need both hands to open the pliers

but I'm sure this will easier than scuffing my guitar using needle nose pliers.

and this is by far the best one i have used

This is a nice multi use tool.

Broke on first use.

Good use of cheap material

It was a little awkward using the winder with it attached to the tool

I get the price-point is low, but so is the quality, and it broke on first use

Awkward at first, being used to several tools, but harder to lose and getting used to it.

I don't like the winder (I have marred a guitar using one in the past

The only problem i have is it doesn't cut as well as it use to

The first time using it wouldn't cut the B string or high E string, very disappointing.

It runs the entire gambit of emotion where you are almost to that magical D flat (or likely E for some folks) only to have the string lose its tension and require even more tuning
