    Planet Waves produces some great designs...but not this capo! As noted by others, it's hard to tighten enough to get six clean-sounding strings - and then removing it is really ridiculous. You have to squeeze the release clamp one way while opening the clamp the opposite way. Those of you with three hands, however, may not find this a problem. One star only because zero stars was not an option.

    this is a very bad capo. i have owned it for 3 days and already hate it. it doesnt clamp well, and it is awkward to put on/release.depending on what kind of neck you have, this capo will either clamp to hard(making you out of tune), or not clamp enough making you out of tune, or ot will clamp too much on one side and not enough on the other.

    I bought my Capo and a few months later the little rigdes that are used to hold the capo in place became dull. Then I began to use rubberbands and hair bands to hold it tighter. That became more of a hassle. No I have to purchase a new capo that hopefully will last longer:)
