Handy little guitar multi-tool that covers every aspect of string removal.

Not a bad little tool for an all in one. I've tried all three functions and they get the job done. The wire cutters work fine. The tuning peg winder slips off at times but it's not a big deal. The bridge pin puller is a little difficult to use but that all depends on how your pins are seated. I've received a couple of these when purchasing other products and they're a good little tool to put in your bag or case to have if needed.

I purchased this kit to do some custom pickup work on one of my electric guitars, its main asset being small and easy to use in confined spaces. I'm a self taught luthier, and have been comfortable with wiring jobs like this for many years. Upon receiving my kit, I familiarized myself with the contents. Everything was there, and the actual FEEL of the soldering iron was very comfortable. One of the best features of the gun is the heating time. By using the rotary temperature dial on the handle, you can allow the gun to 'idle' between soldering jobs, because heat time was right at 90 seconds. The job turned out perfectly, and the gun performed flawlessly. The assorted tips give you options, it included some small guage solder, and the desolder tool worked as well. Very good value for the money, I recommend it.

Like most that will ever buy this item, I've been playing guitar and changing strings for many many years.  I've tried many winders and they've all been good.  But, this Planet Waves Pro Winder String Winder and Cutter adds the convenience of not only winding the tuning peg, but cutting the excess string and it even helps to remove your pegs at the saddle...all in one easy to use tool.  Could it be better?  Maybe, but if so, I can't imagine how.  I recommend this item to anyone who ever has to change the strings on an instrument, whether once a month or several times a day.  It's a "must have" if you play.

Makes quick work of loosening strings.
Got a kinda cheap guitar and needed to sand down the bridge thingy, so I needed to loosen the strings to get to it.

I thought I'd put up a quick review after owning/using this for a couple weeks - the idea of doing a review came to mind as I gratefully used the tool yesterday to pull out and cut out several dozen prickly pear stickers from my palm after an unfortunate spill on a desert canyon hike. A stopgap measure because I didn't have a proper tweezers and scalpel, but that's the nature of these tools. And the Leatherman Squirt PS4 keychain mini-tool does a dandy job at its role.

I've owned several keychain mini-tools in my life (keep losing them - last one to TSA, drat my having forgotten to take it off the keyring!), and this one is the best constructed of them all. It's very easy to open and it's safe and easy to use, and the good quality stainless steel is up to everyday carry and use. The blue anodized finish is taking a bit of a beating in daily use, but makes the tool look innocuous and it's easier to find than a black handle.

The knife blade is sharp out of the box - it's a useful blade shape, but it's one of those beveled-only-on-one-side blades that's a bit of a hassle to re-sharpen. I'd recommend going easy on this blade except in emergencies: there's the re-sharpening issue, plus it doesn't lock open and it's small and sort of frail feeling - I could easily see snapping this.

The mini-scissors in these things always have me scratching my head - for what are they intended? You can cut hangnails with them or loose threads, but these can be done with the knife blade and . . . well, I really think there are better tools that could have been included in lieu of the mini-scissors. A decent tweezer, for instance.

The needle nosed pliers/slightly bigger pliers/wire cutter - they're great. They unfold with a crisp snap and the spring-loading keeps them convenient for use. They grip especially well for the small size because of their precision crafting - the ridges on the pliers are sharply cut so they're grabby, and the pliers are well assembled so they mate well to grab even tiny things (like microscopic cactus hairs). The wire cutters work - again precision craftsmanship really makes a difference when compared to other such tools I've owned in the past.

The dual-sided file - one side more coarse and the other more fine - has worked on fingernails and wood, and I'd suspect it would do light duty on metals in an emergency as well. The large flat screwdriver/turnscrew and the cap opener are handy, though the cap opener isn't the easiest to use (and is kind of unnecessary - it's slow and small: one would do about as well by simply using the pliers to pry off a bottle cap). The smaller screwdriver (for Phillips and smaller flat heads) looks like it would sorta work on a variety of screws - again, the whole idea here is that this tool is a stopgap measure for when you don't have real tools available.

It works, and it actually sort of impressed me with its quality. When I inevitably lose this one, I'll be very likely to replace it with one just like it - the price here on Amazon was the best I found online, BTW.

Music Nomad makes some great products that are very useful for maintaining guitars. This is one of those. Okay, it's just a soft brush and a piece of cloth mounted on a thin plastic stick. Sometimes the simplest devices are the most useful. The flat cloth end gets under strings and in tight places that just a cloth can't very easily. And the soft brush gets dirt and skin out of spaces that are otherwise too small to reach, like bridges, pickups, etc., without scratching the finish. I saw one of these at my guitar shop on the repair bench. It looked well used.

I've purchased several of these for myself, and decided to give this one as a gift. In my opinion,  It is the simplest and most effective way to tune your stringed instruments. The portability, accuracy and convenience make this a must have for any stringed instrument player!

You simply clip this to the neck, and strum whilst tuning until you reach the perfect note. I also find it useful for when I'm trying to figure out the notes of a tune that don't have readily available sheet music. I highly recommend this lil guy, he'll change your tuning life!

Simple, well-made tool that handles a variety of needs in a pinch.  Especially useful are the wrench and pry bar features.  I keep one in my desk drawer so it's always at hand.

Easy to attach to body of guitar, makes keeping picks handy and very easy to access. I would recommend this to any new player, although not sure if I'd stick this on a Martin.

Saves space and time looking for many different tools that this one can do.

Cool tool! If you want a lot of guitar picks this might be the gadget for you. I like to keep picks stashed everywhere - around the house, in the car, in my pockets - you never know when you might need one. In addition to the custom plastic pick strips they include, I also like to make picks from plastic cards I have piling up - like old starbucks cards, gift cards or hotel key cards. You have to do a little sanding with the included emory board to get the shape of the tip just right.  Hint: also sand the surface of the pick a little for a better grip. Good gift for guitar players.

I used this to restring an old acoustic guitar, and it worked really well. It doesn't have a super premium feel to it or anything like that, but I would consider it a great tool for any DIY guitarist to have in their arsenal. Plus, you really can't beat the price.

I did not know that this tool existed until recently.  In the past, I have had to take one of my two Fender Telecasters under warranty to the nearest authorized repairman about 25 miles away to have the input jack tightened.  Other guitars I own sometimes have loosening jacks also.  This tool allows one to tighten just about any input jack without having to take the instrument to a repairman.  Bottom line, it is easy to use and a welcomed time-saver.

I've been looking for this tool for a long time.  Most sockets are too shallow to reach the low nuts around guitar pots and around tuning pegs.  Or, they don't grip shallow nuts or are the wrong size.  This tool has three drives of different depths that can grab any nut on most guitars.  If you work on guitars regularly, this tool is indispensable and is only available in this unit from CruzTools.  I'm glad somebody thought to make this ingenious little tool.  Without it, you're stuck using pliers to tighten and loosen these nuts and the pliers frequently damage the nuts or worse, the guitar finish.  With this tool, you can safely work on these annoying, low profile guitar nuts without risking any damage to the guitar.  Thanks CruzTools for making this and Amazon for making it easy to buy.

The Danelectro Honeytone N-10 Guitar Mini Amp is an amp that targets a very specific situation. You are definitely not going to be going around and gigging with this, but you can definitely bring this along with your guitar to give a live demo of your sick shredding skills. The sound quality can be noticeably noisy and not crisp and clear as a much larger amp. $20 for a portable guitar amp that you can just pretty much hook to your belt with the clip doodad on the back is just too hard a price to beat. Also, the amp's powered by a single 9 volt battery that sits in the back.

A quick google search can probably lead you to alternatives if you aren't digging the general aesthetics of this particular model, and personally I find this one to be quick and simple to just hook up to your guitar or other instrument of choice and jam out and practice. The inclusion of a 3.5mm headphone jack is also a nice feature, allowing you to hear what you'd sound like on an amp.

The knobs on top allow you to change the volume, tone, and overdrive of the sound you create. Now, I am a very amateur guitarist and don't fully understand how to utilize these, so the amp comes with its own quick mini guide on getting a variety of different sounds and tones. Very helpful and thoughtful for the ignorant like myself.

As an added Your Mileage May Vary, I've found that I can hook this up to my laptop via 3.5mm auxiliary cord and record sessions. However, this is a potentially bad thing to do depending on which port you plug it into; certain sound cards are able to handle it, others may break from it, so do be careful and do your research on this subject, or preferably, buy a decent dynamic microphone or a USB audio interface.

TL;DR - Great practice amp, comes with a quick start guide, portability is a plus, if using for plugging in to your computer for recording do NOT max out the volume and play at a safe level

Great item. Keeps my guitars handy where I'm more likely to play them.
