 I LOVE cool tools! August 9, 2006

Dont you love it when a product:
-does what it claims
-does it well
-is a good deal?
I used my PlanetWaves Pro for the first time last night. The pin puller works smoothly, and the string winder doesnt come unscrewed constantly like every other one I've owned!
The componenet that really made my day was the string cutter. The 'blade' aint that sharp, but easily whacks the end of a low E string. Since there is only a little exposed metal, all of which is smooth and rounded, the risk of scratching your guitar is minimal, and the small cutting head makes it easy to trim the string very close to the peg.
The Pro String Winder appears to be well built, and I suspect that it will last me quite a while. Even if if conks out in a year (not that I think it will), its a good bargain, and I'll buy another.
Great product!
Great idea that works well January 15, 2007

The string winder is larger and more comfortable to hold that any of the 'cheap' winders you buy at music stores. The winder part has smooth motion and the cutter works much better than expected. I thought maybe it would bend the strings rather than cut them. But so far, it snips cleanly through the strings and gets pretty close tot he peg head. If you change strings a lot, I would also recommend to yout he Planet Waves Headstand.
Very easy to use. February 27, 2009

I love the pin puller the most. The bottom of it is very thin so that it slides under the pin very easily. This was something that was not as easy to use on my $2.50 string winder.
The cutter was also fun to use. Snips very easily, but the grip is not that easy to maneuver. Still it is a very effective tool.
The string winder was also very good. My hands don't move in a perfect circular motion, and no where near it either, but this seems to help me achieve that fairly well, compared to my $2.50 string winder.
I would definitely recommend this product to anyone who is planning on changing strings.
Does what it needs to do October 22, 2009

Just did a full change out of my 1966 RIC 330/12 with one of these and man did it help. For those of you that are not familiar with that particular level of frustration, it is widely accepted to be the biggest pain in the tail-feathers known to guitar-dom.
Again, it is just a good string winder and a good string cutter, but the all-in-1-ness of this device makes it a 5 star lead pipe cinch for gotta have it items in each guitar case I own.
Does what it is supposed to do
Does it well
One hand use is possible
Survey says, 5 stars.
Run don't walk, pick it up.

AWSOME! September 3, 2009

This string winder/cutter is really good, i did not buy this but i have the one with the tuner attached to it. Its great there are no issues or problems. I truly recommend this to people who want to change or repair their guitar strings without the mess-ups. Tip: Notice when the string winder finishes its job when you are repairing or changing the strings, when you feel the headmaching getting harder stop winding it and tune it.
