One of very few adjustable compression spring capos.

A bit over packed; cardboard box, plastic sleeve and a hinged tin box with fitted foam shockabsorber. Not just any foam, but the same material used on the pads of capos.

Solid cast parts. Im goin to try this one for a while, I am partial to these adjustable compression spring designs.

Well
tried it on Amber, 6th string buzz
had to tighten spring a lot to stop it.
disappointing
Great as a gift for people who should not play guitar.

RobertW ,

O sorry you are not impressed, it looked very promising, just goes to show you that you can't always rely on looks alone.
Just a thought, maybe worth trying if tuned around 180 degrees, worth a try.

Would be curious if it likes some guitars more than others.

RobertW, I know a guy who considers himself a "coffee connoisseur" that would probably LOVE to have something like that.

He uses something similar, can't remember what you call it, that seems like WAY too much trouble for me for a couple of cups of coffee, but ya, he loves brewing coffee in different ways.
