5.0 out of 5 stars Best type of capo, screws tight to hold down all 6 strings, December 31, 2009

I've tried many types of capos on various guitars. I have to say that this basic type works well on all of my guitars because you can really tighten it down. Other types of pinching capos don't put enough force on all the strings, which can create buzzing. This capo, however, is my favorite, yet hard to find. Buy it and try it before you spend more on any fancy capos. Or take your guitar to a store to try some out.

The metal is very durable and sturdy. I had one before (which I misplaced) and I never had any part on it break.

This Capo may not be fancy but it is inexpensive and it works great. You can spend a lot more and buy some plastic thing but this will not wear out or break on you when you need it. Easy to use, adjustable, the best.

Works great, nice even pressure across all the strings. No fret buzz. The only drawback to using this type of capo is that you are not able to move it quickly as you have to unscrew it and then readjust the capo to the neck but this is inherent to this type of capo, clamp type capos are quickly adjustable and can be clamped to the headstock when not in use but sometimes doesn't apply pressure to the strings as evenly across the fret in my experience. There are trade offs with everything.
