MusicNomadGRIP Drill Bit String Peg Winder for Guitar, Bass & All String Instruments (MN220)

Excellent and simple way to unwind/rewind guitar strings =)

I'm a professional guitar technician, and manage a shop of guitar technicians, and I've tried at least 6 different versions of these screwdriver-chuck peg winders from as many different manufacturers over the last decade-and-a-half. Hands-down, this one is the best one.Where it stands head-and-shoulders above the competition is the material from which it's constructed; I've never seen a peg-winder made of this softer plastic, as they are usually a harder plastic. This means that this peg-winder won't mar or scratch your tuning machines. This is the ONLY peg-winder I've ever seen where, after a couple months of heavy use (working on approximately 20 guitars a day, 5 days a week), you can still use it to tune up a set of satin black tuning machines without leaving slight marks on the keys. The downside is that this is less durable, but the average person would never realize as the durability is still fantastic for any consumer. If you are a pro working on dozens upon dozens of guitars a week, you may have to replace it every season/half-year/year etc. as your needs dictate, but I guarantee that you'll appreciate how delicately this tool treats your tuning machine keys.Of course, when you use this in a screwdriver, be sure you gear down the torque settings to keep your machines in awesome condition.Update September 18, 2017: The peg-winders are still holding up after about 4 months of "industrial"-level use. While they are beginning to display signs of wear of the plastic surface and are beginning to look a little dirty on the interior faces, they still function perfectly and still are leaving tuning machines mark-free. They are even more durable than I initially estimated, I believe. I've since invested in upgrading every technician's bench to this peg-winder, as other folks had been using older harder-plastic ones that could sometimes scratch tuning keys.Update July 2018: All the peg winders are still going strong while being gentle on tuning keys! In the interim period, I've also verified that these work on cylindrical tuning buttons (provided they don't have a ridiculously thin diameter), specifically the optional Industrial SK1 tuning buttons by Hipshot.Update March 2019: This will likely be my last update for this particular review. Long story short: My opinion that these are the best peg winders is unchanged. I have only had to replace one peg winder for my crew during the nearly 2 years we've been using 'em, and that particular winder was still functioning when retired (it was LOOKING rather raggedy, but still worked and still didn't leave marks on tuning machines; It was swapped out simply for the sake of professionalism). These things are awesome! Haven't yet received a defective one. Haven't yet had one break on me or any member of my crew. Don't waste your time on any other variants of this gizmo, as this is the Real McCoy.

Super simple tool that will save you a ton of time and possibly save you from carpal tunnel if your stringing guitars all day. Great size and decent quality. Seems dirty enough and is very easy to use. no stability issues as long as you're going slow like you should. If done correctly you should have great sound quality.

My wi ring problems are a thing of the past. I simply put this in an electric screwdriver and I can change strings super quickly! Perfecto!!!

5-star, as expected from MusicNomad. Small (so it gets into tight spaces when changing strings), soft rubber-like lining (doesn't scratch), fits quick change drills (be sure to use a variable-speed drill so the winding speed won't get away from you), stores easily, fits a variety of different sized thumb tuners (mine are butterbean), the rubber-like material on the inside doesn't slip off of the tuners, great price! I don't like the blue color they use on their products (I know, who cares?), but their products are all high quality and reasonably priced.

Not much to say.....you stick it in a drill, put it over the tuning machine, pull the trigger, and you're off and running. It's made of a type of rubber...it's firm, but not so much that it damages or scratches the tuners. It has different sized slots to accept just about any type of tuner (though I'd be interested to see if it works on Imperial style).Overall, I'm happy with it.

I love this string winder. It makes changing strings so fast! I can’t believe I lived most of my life not having this little wonder.

It works fine on my 12 string guitar, although the grip on the peg heads is a little loose. I didn't want to use it with my driver drill, so I used a mini ratcheting screwdriver instead. This gives me better control over the speed of the winder. I can store it in my guitar case and I don't have to worry about recharging the battery.
