Planet Waves Pro-Winder String Winder/Cutter  

This is a very handy tool. The string cutter is nice. My only problem is I primarily use my Warwick and with the angle of its tuning keys I would not recommend this for use with a Warwick.

What's to say except that it is very handy!

If the product received was the same as the one shown in the photograph, it would have been an excellent tool. What you truly receive is a cheap plastic (not resin impregnated) handle with scallops in the side of it which weaken it even more. Notice the one in the picture has no scallops.  Instead of the cutter being made of fine tool steel, as it appears in the photograph, it is constructed of stamped sheet metal with a high chromium content. This means the tool will wear out rather quickly.  In conclusion, this tool would only be good for a couple of years at best before it would have to be replaced.  Planet Waves claims it has a lifetime warranty, but I'm sure they don't honor that warranty.  If they did, they'd lose too much money.  This device was never designed to last a lifetime.  This will become immediately apparent when you take it out of the box.  Overall, a huge let down.  I would have paid twice the price if it had been constructed as shown in the photograph.
