I have a lot of guitars. For years I have hated restringing (they are all floyds). I'd had this in my basket for a year, and needed a cheap xmas present for someone to get me.
I wish I had had this sooner. It literally has made restring so much less painful and quick that I've happily done 1-3 guitars an evening and it hasn't sucked.
Make your life suck less. Buy this.

Why didn?t I get one of these sooner?!
Andrew4413 02.05.2016
I have been really pleased with the Ernie Ball Power Peg 4118 and can?t understand why I didn?t buy one sooner. When I ordered it I was concerned that this battery powered string winder might be a bit on the large size but that turned out not to be the case. It is reasonably substantial but no more than it needs to be making it both comfortable to hold but not unwieldy.
The universal winder head has fitted all my guitars including a Gibson Les Paul, several Ibanez guitars (6, 7 and 8 strings), a vintage Kramer and an LTD 7-string baritone. With some of my acoustic guitars the heads of tuning pegs are quite large but the winder head still manages to get enough purchase to be effective.
You activate the winder using a 2-way trigger. It?s easy to use and I haven?t had a problem using it at all, even with my sausage fingers.
Battery life has been great. I?ve wound a bunch of guitars and it?s still on its first set of batteries. The winder includes a latch to lock the trigger so when you throw it in your gig bag or whatever it doesn?t accidentally start winding and use up battery life.
Overall I?m very pleased with the Ernie Ball Power Peg and no longer dread the chore of restringing my instruments.

Bit of a gimmick

It works, does what it should but bit of a handful.
I just stopped using it became a bit of a chore

No locking tuners? No problem!
DrewGR 04.02.2019
All the hours lost on unwinding the strings are done. Changes are very easy with this little thing. Normal batteries, which means, you don't need to charge it.
If you don't have locking tuners, this is a work tool, plain and simple.

A really time saver!!!!!!
Anonymous 13.11.2015
I must admit, i came across this product by accident, and what a find. Forget 10 minutes a string, this device has you up and ready to tune in minutes. A great stocking filler or birthday present.

No more winding days
CurlyTom 30.08.2020
I have a lot of guitars, my wife accuses me of being an addict, but this little gizmo saved my life. Absolute must have if you own more than one guitar. No marks on the headstock, and it cuts your windy time down by half

Convenient - well made
Anonymous 08.12.2015
Low speed - so you won't snap your strings by overtightening them too quickly. Two different size slots for different kinds of tuner buttons.
Unlike a manual string winder does not have a tendency to yank the machine head about.
Useful 'lock' function - so won't switch on inadvertently (whilst in your gear bag for instance) and waste the battery
Very simple to use. Press button towards the base of the handle to tighten strings - towards the 'barrel' to loosen them - and that applies to both 6 inline and 3+3 headstocks.
Battery life is not too great though - and I wish it came with a rechargeable battery...
