D'AddarioPro Guitar Winder/Cutter DP0002

This is the ultimate gadget for any guitarist electric or acoustic.Basically if your restringing your acoustic you have a little pair of tweezers that will help you pull out the pins at the bridge and they work really well even on stubborn pins that have been forced in and left for years.You also get a string winder which if you have never used one is one of the greatest inventions ever for restringing your guitar, when you try it for the first time you will wonder why you never bought one sooner. This one is a good size too and fits the machine heads on all my electric and acoustic guitars easily.But in my opinion the best part is the string cutter. The two blades cross over each other unlike most plyers so when your trying to cut the thinner strings its a breeze, they easily cut through a gauge nine top E string without any hassell.Basically this is all you need to restring any guitar in one small and handy tool that can fit easily in any guitar case or even your pocket.I bought the bundle and got the lemon oil aswell and this works a treat at cleaning up the neck and somehow makes the neck feel faster and much nicer to play when you put it on.Overall a splendid quality product and a must for any guitarist and at a really good price too.

Out of the packet it looks a quality tool, it has a weighty feel about it, the grips on the cutter look strong and won’t come off, the winder plastic looks pretty substantial too.The cutter works perfectly, cuts the wire strings with ease no play in the jaws at all think it will last years.The winder was very tight to turn so loosened the screw a tiny amount and it worked fine. Small Klunson tuner so bit fiddly to keep winder on but soon got the knack. Think the screw for the winder might be an issue after a while.Haven’t used pin puller no need for that.Overall a good multi tool for everyday guitarist.

Saves a lot of knuckle aches and time using this.It would be five stars, but sometimes it’s a little fiddly to use the string cutter function. Probably better than similar items, but they’re all a little trial and error to find one that winds efficiently and fits well, feels good ergonomically etc.This is the most effective tool like this that I’ve tried so far, but it still feels slightly flawed.1 day I will have the perfect string winder, but they will likely be known as ‘the roadie’

A good product and if you haven't got one, it's something you only buy once, so worth the money. I particularly liked the string cutter, which did the job perfectly. I also liked the end that levers out your bridge pins.. I have marked many a bridge trying to lever out the pins with a screwdriver, kitchen knife or trying to pull them out with a pair of pliers !! I actually like to wind the strings to tension by hand, because it really doesn't take that long... as long as you follow the rule of cutting each string a tuning peg and a half's length, from the tuning peg you are putting the string in... This way, you have the perfect length of string to wind on to the tuning peg... and where the string cutter comes in to its own.

Simple little tool that makes changing your string a lot easier. Well made and quality product!

Great tool for anyone wishing to put fresh strings on their guitar , cutter and winder to assist in the matter , good value .

Yeah, this is great. It’s the thing I didn’t know I needed until I needed one! Very handy, feels pretty sturdy too- does the job, would hate having to change my strings without one now

Great little tool. Gets the job done. While not the best. It’s good enough for irregular string changes. If you’re changing strings weekly is buy some tools that do each thing separately. As this tool is quite cheaply made.
