Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Three-in-one string change tool for bass: peg winder, string cutter and bridge pin puller. Under $15 and does the whole job.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Bass players changing their own strings at home
- Gig bags where one tool beats three loose ones
- Cutting heavy bass string windings cleanly at the post
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who never cut strings and only need a fast winder
- Anyone wanting a powered or drill-mounted winder
- Guitar-only players, since the peg cup is sized for bass tuners
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Hardened steel cutter
Holds an edge through wound bass strings, which chew up soft cutters and leave frayed ends.
Detail 03
Plastic winder body
Keeps weight down and will not mar tuner buttons, but it is the part that fails if you crank against a stuck tuner.
Detail 04
Bridge pin puller notch
Lifts acoustic bass bridge pins without prying against the bridge with pliers.
Detail 05
Ergonomic handle
Shaped grip means less hand strain on the many turns a long bass string takes to seat.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Hand-cranked, not powered. No drill attachment point.
- 02Sized for bass tuners; a separate winder is needed for standard guitars.
- 03Cut strings after loosening. Snipping under full tension whips the end.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this work on a regular electric guitar?
The peg cup is sized for bass tuner buttons, so it fits loosely or not at all on guitar machine heads. D'Addario makes a standard-size Pro-Winder for guitars.
02Can the cutter handle heavy gauge bass strings?
Yes. The cutter is hardened steel, which is what heavy wound bass strings demand. Loosen the string first so it does not snap back when cut.
03What is the bridge pin puller for?
Acoustic bass guitars seat string ball ends under bridge pins. The notch lifts those pins out without gouging the bridge the way pliers or a screwdriver would.
04Does it attach to a drill?
No. It is a hand tool with a shaped grip, turned manually. There is no shaft or socket for a drill or powered driver.
