Detail 01
Bass-specific peg cup
The socket is cut for oversized bass machine heads, so it seats on the button instead of slipping off.

DunlopRoadpro Bass Stringwinder
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A peg winder sized for bass machine heads. Buy it if you change bass strings yourself and want the job to take minutes instead of ages.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Restringing a bass at home without cranking tuners by hand
- Gig bag tool kit for quick string changes between sets
- Bass techs handling several instruments in a session
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who only change strings once or twice a year
- Guitar-only players — the cup is cut for bass posts
- Anyone wanting a powered or drill-driven winder
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
Hand winder, not powered
You control the speed, so there is no risk of over-torquing a tuner the way a drill attachment can.
Detail 03
Roadpro build
Meant to live in a gig bag and get knocked around rather than sit on a bench.
Detail 04
$7.99
Cheap enough to keep one in every case, which is the point — the tool you lose is the one you needed.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Guitar tuners are smaller; expect a loose, sloppy fit on a six-string
- 02It winds only — no string cutter or bridge pin puller here
- 03Strings are a separate purchase
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this work on my guitar too?
It is cut for bass machine heads, which are larger. On a guitar the cup sits loose and tends to slip, so it is not the tool for that job.
02Does it cut strings?
No. This winds tuners. You will still need cutters to trim the string ends after tuning up.
03Can I chuck it in a drill?
It is a hand winder. Turn it yourself and you keep control of the tension, which matters on bass tuners.
04Is it worth eight dollars?
If you change your own strings, yes. Winding four bass tuners by hand is slow, and this cuts a string change to a few minutes.
