string bending doesn't work
Boyan Hristov 13.09.2020
As the title suggests, string bending doesn't work with this capo.
I've used Dunlop trigger capos for 20 years and haven't noticed anything different when I use them - I just clamp it and play how I play. With this one, I go out of tune -looks like the rubber/silicone? part that makes contact with the strings is maybe too soft, and the strings slip and go out of tune when I bend. Tightening the spring helps a little, but then you don't get the benefits of clamping the strings with just enough tension to get good tone and retain intonation.
If you don't bend then it's fine. If the capo was straight it would have been great for classical guitars with flat fretboards, but it does have a slight radius so you can't use it on your classical. I think they should consider making a flat model for classical /nylon string guitars, I'd buy it.
The mechanism that tightens the spring seems like the thing that might go first, otherwise built seems solid, the finish and feel are very nice, and it does have a decent weight to it.
As much as I like Harley Benton, I'm not sure I'd recommend this one.

Might be the best option in this price range
Swords 12.12.2020
I was going to buy more fancy and expensive capo, but suddenly couldnt afford that. So just got recommendations from Thomann kind team, I have to admit.

Quality of the metal is very good, solid and feels good when you touch it.

The spring is quite adjustable! And my 13 on acoustic which is in E holds very easily! I love the drop tunings and heavy strings and this baby eats it ))

Only con about the capo is when I unscrewed fully the adjustable bolt the sping totally came out, the device doesn't have any stopper to stop from felling down the bolt. Anyway I could put install it back and it works .

Maybe that is not the issue but the idea to be able to switch the spring if you need harder tension!

If you are low on budget and looking for great tuner, this is it!

Very good capo regardless of price
Nuno S 12.06.2019
The capo appears to be made of high quality materials and great construction. It has some weight to it and doesn't feel flimsy at all. I measured it at 82g so it's comparable to other aluminum capos.
The silicone pads also seem to be of great quality and durable.
The adjustable string tension works pretty well and allows for a tighter or looser grip of the neck.
I've tried it on electric and acoustic guitars and even on a bass, and there's no muted/dead strings.
I hadn't noticed the bridge pin tool so that was a bonus. Pretty cool idea that will come in handy.

The capo build quality is great and the grip of the capo is great making the instrument sound beautiful. The capo is very easy to apply on the guitar.

THE LAST CAPO YOU WILL EVER NEED
Beau 29.03.2021
I bought YET ANOTHER capo because some of my regular capos are too strong and detune the strings of electric guitars and others are too weak and cause the strings to buzz.

But then I came across this thing and nothing will ever be the same again. So far this capo works on EVERY guitar. this the end of buying multiple capo's for every single type of guitar you own.

Oh and you thought that was just it NO. They included a special hook thingy with which you can more easily get those dreaded acoustic bridge pins out. So simple and yet so sophisticated.

This is the last capo you will ever need, I love it.

Awesome!
petermark222 21.02.2024
This is a great capo. I have been using daddario capos, and even a very expensive Thalia Capo for years. I bought this to try out as it was pretty cheap, and you can set up the tension as well. I liked these kind of capos better than the ones that you have to screw by hand.

Since i have tried this, this is my favourite capo, and i am planning on buying some more for my bandmates, and to have as spares.

Nifty, Good Quality Capo
JimsabesT 17.04.2018
I did not know what to expect when I purchased the Harley Benton In Tune Tension Capo. When I received the Capo it was clear that it was of very good quality and feel, in fact it is a little gem. This capo fits very snugly on my EJ 200 SCE/N Epiphone guitar neck and it is easy to adjust the tension in the strings using the spring wheel adjuster. This Capo is in-obtrusive looking very smart and I am comfortable knowing that the Capo is fretting correctly without any buzzing or dead tones. I would recommend this very affordable Capo to anyone looking for a precision, quality, yet essential piece of guitar kit. Well done Thomann for bringing this little gem to the notice of your customers. I have no hesitation in awarding top marks for handling and quality to this Capo.

Well priced - Hits different
New Zealand Musician 15.07.2022
This is the capo you want. I ordered this for playing in Church and it serves my purpose very well. Its adjustable spring makes it tight in bridging the frets.

Some hints:
Solid metal build
Light on the guitar
Well priced
Rubber seal tough on bridging strings and frets

Every guitarist should have one for playing in different keys and Harley Benton have nailed this one as a quality and competitive capo. I use it every other Sunday.
