D'AddarioPro-Winder String Winder/Cutter/Bridge-Pin Puller
1/5
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Three string-change tools in one plastic body: peg winder, string cutter, bridge pin puller. For anyone who changes their own strings.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Changing acoustic strings without prying pins with pliers
- Keeping one tool in the case instead of three
- Restringing electrics, mandolins, ukuleles and banjos
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who have their strings changed at a shop
- Anyone needing a heavy-duty cutter for thick bass strings
- Fitting oversized or unusual tuning buttons the notch won't clear
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
Plastic winder body
Keeps it light and cheap, and won't mar tuner buttons. Not something to lean hard on.
Detail 03
Bridge pin puller notch
Levers acoustic bridge pins straight up without gouging the top or chewing the pin head.
Detail 04
Fits guitar, mandolin, ukulele, banjo
The peg notch clears standard tuning buttons across those instruments, so one tool covers a mixed collection.
Detail 05
Ergonomic handle
Wide grip lets you crank tuners fast without the handle digging into your palm.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Hand-cranked, not motorized — no drill attachment
- 02Pull bridge pins with the string slack, or you'll snap the pin
- 03Cutter is sized for guitar-gauge strings, not heavy bass wire
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this work on classical guitars?
It winds classical tuners fine and cuts nylon cleanly. The bridge pin puller goes unused, since classical guitars tie strings at the bridge instead.
02Will it fit my bass tuners?
Bass tuning buttons are usually larger than the notch allows. This is sized for guitar, mandolin, ukulele and banjo pegs.
03Is the cutter strong enough for wound strings?
Yes, hardened steel handles wound guitar strings. Cut close to the post after winding rather than sawing at a string under full tension.
04How do I use the pin puller without damaging the top?
Slack the string first, seat the notch under the pin head, and lever against the bridge — not the soundboard.
