Simplest and cheapest possible capo
Domenicaccio 29.11.2021
Can't easily beat the price of this capo, which nevertheless does its job on both acoustic and electric guitars. It might not be immediately intuitive how to operate it, but once adjusted for the proper tension, it just works, and has a nice diminutive incumbrance compared to other capos.

The only downside is that after a while the strip can slip and the capo needs to be tensioned again. This hasn't occurred to me while playing, but can be noticed in between days, so it is possible that the capo won't maintain tension throughout a whole gig.

Overall, quite satisfied for home/practice/rehearsal uses: 4/5.

Cheap but Functional
BillDL 21.08.2020
A much cheaper, but slightly lower quality, version of this traditional type of capo made by the company with the same name as car tyres. This kind of capo has always been a bit more fiddly to use than the spring-loaded or metal lever type of much more expensive capo, but I like them because they do not get in the way of my fretting hand if you adjust the strap so that the plastic lever so that the end of the plastic lever doesn't extend beyond the length of the "shark's teeth" body. At this price you can have a capo in every pocket of every gig bag, in your car, and anywhere else that you might want one for emergencies.

Works like a charm
Anonymous 15.05.2014
I haven't had that much experience with capos, but this seems like a really good first capo. It's well-build, the tension doesn't let go after a while (not sure if that's even possible, but still, it's a good thing).

The only downside, which might also be a general issue with capos is that at first, I got the feeling that'd break when I put it on and attempted to clamp it on. But it got eaiser after a few times. Might've been it needed to be used a couple of times to soften up, or it could've been me getting used to the amount of force needed.

Anyway, a great buy if you're thinking of a getting a capo :)

Adjusting can be time consuming
joey1T1 06.04.2024
Adjusting can be time consuming but once it's set it holds tuning nicely.
Good for higher frets as it doesn't stick out so much like a regular capo.

Good capo
Kaspars 05.03.2014
For few EUR it will get the job done as well as 3x and 5x times more expensive "brand" items. Grip is very good, only thing that should be improved is nylon part - could be wider, so it would be easier to fix capo on fretboard. Overall great prce/performance rate.
