Ernie Ball PowerPeg Battery Powered String Winder  

Bought this in the 1st week of Feb 2012.  Stopped working on 1st use. I think the switch is bad in unit.  They advertise that you can string your instrument with this quicker. Not so.  The RPMs are turned down way slow!  I wind a string manually about 3 times faster than this things runs.

Even if mine had not broke on the first usage:

Its still just a toy gadget for entertainment and actually make changing strings more complicated.

If you do not haved it perfectly lined up when removed or installing your stings the head gets in a bind with the tuners and it feels like somethings going to break.

It's just a hassle.  Stay with your old hand crank.

Im giving it a 9 because I just used it to restring a new acoustic I just got and it did a good job ! It sounded like it was struggeling but it kept on going I am doing another acoustic tonight .

only time will tell how long it will last but it feels a little on the cheap side so we'll see.

I think its a great price and it does make a big differance when the arthritus is kicking in !!

I would call it over all a 9 + and its fun to use !!

Winder works great, true enhancer for stringing. However, batteries were not included as advertised.

I don't enjoy changing strings and this has made my life alot easier. I wish I would have bought one 10 years ago!

Makes changing strings a breeze! Would recommend to all guitar players who don't like changing strings and would rather be playing their guitar!

The best thing since sliced bread.  I teach guitar to younger students and I am always replacing their strings.  This tool makes it so much easier.

For the price the quality is excellent.

Priced right.

Like the product very well.
