What is in the Music Nomad String Change Tool Kit?

Six pieces: the GRIP ONE winder, cutter and bridge pin puller, a bottle of TUNE-IT lubricant, the Octopus 8-in-1 tech tool and a string-changing tips booklet.

Does it work on bass and acoustic guitars?

Yes. Music Nomad lists it for electric, acoustic and bass, and the bridge pin puller is aimed at acoustic pins.

Where do I apply TUNE-IT?

Apply it to the nut slots, bridge and saddle contact points and string guides at each string change. Wipe off excess so it does not attract grit.

Is the GRIP ONE a cutter as well as a winder?

Yes. It combines a string winder, a string cutter and a bridge pin puller in one hand tool.

Do I still need separate setup tools?

The Octopus covers common screws, jacks and tuner bushings, but truss rod and saddle work still need dedicated tools.

Is it worth it if I already own a winder?

If you already have a winder and cutter, the added value is the lubricant and the multi-bit tool. Buy those separately if you only want one of them.

What reviewers say

Owners of the kit tend to like the GRIP ONE as a single winder, cutter and pin puller and say the TUNE-IT step helps tuning stability. The main complaints are the small lubricant bottle and the price of buying the pieces together.
