Our take on the MusicNomad GRIP Premium String Cutter

The MusicNomad GRIP is a compact 4.5-inch side cutter built for changing guitar, bass, banjo, mandolin and orchestral strings. Its spring-loaded chrome vanadium steel blade cuts strings flush to the tuning posts, and rubber-lined grips keep the tool steady in hand. A storage sheath is included for gig bags and cases. It sits at the tool end of the market: more purpose-built than household wire cutters, and simpler than powered string winders and cutters.

Best forGuitarists and bassists who change their own stringsPlayers who want a dedicated cutter in the gig bagSetup work on acoustic, electric and orchestral instruments
Pros
  • Side cutter design cuts strings flush at the tuning posts

  • Rubber-lined grips give a secure hold
  • Compact 4.5-inch size fits in a gig bag or case

Cons

  • Small size can be awkward for players with large hands
  • Blade is not replaceable, so wear ends the tool's life

Questions and answers

Does it cut bass strings?
Yes. The forged chrome vanadium steel blade is made to cut both big and small strings, so bass and acoustic gauges are within its range.
Will it cut strings flush at the tuning posts?
Yes. The side cutter design is shaped to trim strings close to the tuning machine posts, which reduces sharp ends sticking out.
Does it have a string winder?
No. It is a cutter only. You will still need a separate winder or your fingers to turn the pegs.
What is in the box?
The cutter and a storage sheath for when it is not in use.
Is it good for mandolin and banjo strings?
Yes. MusicNomad lists banjo, mandolin and orchestral strings alongside electric, acoustic and bass guitar strings.
How do I keep the blade sharp?
Keep it in the sheath between uses and cut strings only, not wire or other hard materials. The blade is not replaceable.
Where is the MusicNomad GRIP Premium String Cutter cheapest?
At Elderly Instruments, for $16.99, as of our latest check.
