"I call it a fluke because capos just tend to break at some point anyways, and I wasn't actually doing anything with it at the time it broke (I had taken it off my guitar and was holding it in my hand..."
"With the one I got, it was very obvious that it was cheaply made, and the part where it clamps the strings was BENT so it didn't even clamp all the strings properly!"
"For a lot of the reviews complaining about buzzing or strings not fully depressed, my first inclination is that their guitars might not be set up properly, because I've had no issue on either of my two folk guitars which use medium tension strings."

"I bought 2 for use on my steel string acoustic guitar and nylon string classical guitar (yes, it is long enough to reach across the longer neck of a classical)... I'm watching the rubber and how they wear, but haven't had them long enough to tell how it is... I call it a fluke because capos just tend to break at some point anyways, and I wasn't actually doing anything with it at the time it broke (I had taken it off my guitar and was holding it in my hand..."
"First thing: This ships from China, so it took about THREE WEEKS for me to get this thing. With the amount of time wasted waiting for a two dollar piece of junk, I would have gladly gone down to the local guitar store and spent a few extra bucks to be able to use something of better quality a little sooner... With the one I got, it was very obvious that it was cheaply made, and the part where it clamps the strings was BENT so it didn't even clamp all the strings properly!"
"For a lot of the reviews complaining about buzzing or strings not fully depressed, my first inclination is that their guitars might not be set up properly, because I've had no issue on either of my two folk guitars which use medium tension strings. In fact, in comparison to my Kyser capo, after which this capo has been modeled, I would say that this capo actually depresses the strings more firmly and securely, due to the setup of the spring and also its larger size... Pros: Incredible price compared to brand name Secure, firm grip over the strings (and no buzz for me) Larger size might be preferable as its easier to change on the fly Cons: Bigger than the Kyser capo, sort of sticks out when its on your guitar At this price point, you can freely impulse buy."
"This capo did not work on any of my steel string acoustic guitars, including the 12 strings even though it is plenty wide enough... This Chinese spring capo does not have that problem, and has the advantage of requiring only one hand to operate during a performance... My only real problem with this product is its name: "Premium Quick Change Folk Acoustic Electric Guitar Banjo" capo implies that it will work with almost all guitars, but it won't if they have curved fingerboards."
"Those capos were always hard to put on and take off, and just seems like more of a hassle than they were worth (and may have even damaged my guitar)... It's easy to put on the guitar, as it's just one spring that you push open and then release. It holds all the strings down well so that you aren't missing any notes."
"I have to admit it's durable really durable it aint plastic so you can relax on that but it is the best ever like literally ... On the top it has a bad but really tight and doesn't look like it was glued there ,the bottom has it too so it won't scratch the bottom neck of your guitar ,so no worries of that ... For you buyers out thwre I recommend this for you and your acoustic guitar."
"In all my years playing in bands, I've never seen an electric guitarist ever use a capo... I'm relatively sure this one will hold up for a while, especially since I probably won't need to use it a lot... My old elastic strap one broke, and this one looks just like the expensive ones my friends play."

"I bought 2 for use on my steel string acoustic guitar and nylon string classical guitar (yes, it is long enough to reach across the longer neck of a classical)... I don't really have anything negative to say about these. I'm watching the rubber and how they wear, but haven't had them long enough to tell how it is... I call it a fluke because capos just tend to break at some point anyways, and I wasn't actually doing anything with it at the time it broke (I had taken it off my guitar and was holding it in my hand..... So anyways, I am just going to order another one... They are slightly shorter in length but still long enough to span my classical guitar... Not a deal breaker by any means, but know that there will be some inconsistency in it all."
"In the end, I'm not sure what all the fuss is about. First thing: This ships from China, so it took about THREE WEEKS for me to get this thing. With the amount of time wasted waiting for a two dollar piece of junk, I would have gladly gone down to the local guitar store and spent a few extra bucks to be able to use something of better quality a little sooner... But because of the OBVIOUS cheap quality, it's hit or miss on how well this thing is actually put together. With the one I got, it was very obvious that it was cheaply made, and the part where it clamps the strings was BENT so it didn't even clamp all the strings properly!... In short: if you're enticed by the price, be ready to WAIT A LONG TIME for the thing to ship to you from freaking China... For me, I'm going to be making a trip down to the local guitar store and pay a few extra bucks for a real quality capo."
"For the economical guitarist, you probably can't beat this capo. For a lot of the reviews complaining about buzzing or strings not fully depressed, my first inclination is that their guitars might not be set up properly, because I've had no issue on either of my two folk guitars which use medium tension strings. In fact, in comparison to my Kyser capo, after which this capo has been modeled, I would say that this capo actually depresses the strings more firmly and securely, due to the setup of the spring and also its larger size. The buyer should be aware that this capo is somewhat bigger and slightly more unwieldy than the Kyser capo. Pros: Incredible price compared to brand name Secure, firm grip over the strings (and no buzz for me) Larger size might be preferable as its easier to change on the fly Cons: Bigger than the Kyser capo, sort of sticks out when its on your guitar At this price point, you can freely impulse buy. Great replacement capo or throw around capo, just without the brand name. If it's not to your taste then you're out a few dollars."
"This capo did not work on any of my steel string acoustic guitars, including the 12 strings even though it is plenty wide enough. However it did work on my Epiphone Emperor Regent jazz box archtop guitar that does have a slightly radiused fretboard... This Chinese spring capo does not have that problem, and has the advantage of requiring only one hand to operate during a performance... Of course the clamping tension cannot be adjusted on the Chinese capo like it can on the Shubb, but that is the tradeoff when choosing a spring capo... It took only 13 days from the day I placed the order for it to arrive from China. My only real problem with this product is its name: "Premium Quick Change Folk Acoustic Electric Guitar Banjo" capo implies that it will work with almost all guitars, but it won't if they have curved fingerboards... However the product description is accurate where it says, "This capo also fit the wider neck and flat fingerboards of the classical guitars or other guitars with straight frets."
"However, I needed to buy a capo to play certain songs, and I've previously purchased two that I wasn't a big fan of. Those capos were always hard to put on and take off, and just seems like more of a hassle than they were worth (and may have even damaged my guitar)... Next, and much more importantly, it works really well. It's easy to put on the guitar, as it's just one spring that you push open and then release. It holds all the strings down well so that you aren't missing any notes. It also doesn't damage the back of the guitar like other capos might. I can't think of a single thing I'd change for this capo."
"Now this is great quick change folk for the acoustic guitar . I have to admit it's durable really durable it aint plastic so you can relax on that but it is the best ever like literally . I brought this for my acoustic guitar and it does it's job right . On the top it has a bad but really tight and doesn't look like it was glued there ,the bottom has it too so it won't scratch the bottom neck of your guitar ,so no worries of that . Now i must say you need a little strength to put it on the neck of your guitar but besides that its great !... Here are some photo's so you guys can see it . For you buyers out thwre I recommend this for you and your acoustic guitar."
"Being a bass player, I only need a capo when I play around on my six string acoustics. In all my years playing in bands, I've never seen an electric guitarist ever use a capo. I guess you could use one if you can't bar chord with your index finger, if it's too weak or something. I'm relatively sure this one will hold up for a while, especially since I probably won't need to use it a lot. I thought having a quick change one would be cool, and it was cheap! My old elastic strap one broke, and this one looks just like the expensive ones my friends play. If the spring and pressure pad don't wear out it'll work just the same."
