One of those things that you could live without, but handy to have when the need arises. The clippers are good, but I don't know how long they'll last in the long run against steel strings. But they'd eat up nylon for years. Have not tried the peg puller, but looks like it would do the trick. The speed winder saved my life recently. I had to re-string a nylon, and the previous person had wrapped the whole length of the string around the pegs, 10 to 15 turns each. The owner wanted to keep the strings intact, so no cutting. The speed winder saved my poor wrist and fingers a lot of work. And it was helpful on the restringing as well. Up to each person to decide if this works for them. If I didn't have it, I'd just carry some good wire cutters in the gig bag, and that would be fine too.Read full review

Having lost my small wire cutters right out of my guitar case to airport "security", I was in the market for a travel pair when I saw this product. Great idea, having all the string changing tools in one 'swiss army knife' style gadget, but when I went to cut the plain strings at my first string change after purchase, the string cutter just bent them; didn't cut thru at all. It cut thru the wound strings, but didn't cut thru the plain ones.(017,013 .010). Had to get a pair of wire cutters from the garage to finish the job. Only good thing is I almost bought two of these because it seemed like such a good idea! Doesn't work; not recommended!

After playing a guitar for over 50 years, I dreaded changing my strings because of the hassle. I learned of the Pro Winder by accident and decided to purchase it. Wow, changing strings was an absolute pleasure. The winder is easy to use and the all-in-one feature of the string clipper and peg remover makes it an awesome tool. Now that I have the winder, I will change my strings more frequently.

I am new to the world of guitars. And so when it was time to change my electric guitar strings out and watching countless Youtube How-to videos, I came upon this string winder. It had everything I needed to help me change my strings out .... wire cutter, string winder, and etc. It definitely made it a whole lot easier then having to find a wire cutter and wind each string by hand. I would highly recommend this tool for anyone needing to change their strings.

I have one from years ago and what is the best thing is it cut the extra string off. I have the cheap winders and for years I wound the strings with my fingers. Cutting off the thin strings was hard, they slip between the blades. That what happened with these. They fit nicely in my junk draw. I hate taking my good wire cutter to gigs because tools grow legs and are off forever. I will look for a quality string cutter.
