Feature:
I only wish I had an idea of where to clip it when it's not in use. The loop type capos I've had in the past I would place on my guitar strap, but that was a hassle when needing it so I guess taking it from my pocket is better than the hassle of removing from my strap. Plus I no longer need to jam paper under my old capos in an attempt to gain more string tension on the thiner stings.

Quality:
I have it only a few weeks now, but my impression in it's use and construction is it will last me years.

Value:
I've purchased a number of inferior capos, that have broke, been difficult to obtain the tension I required. This appears to be excellent value and will no doubt last me years.

Sound:
I purchased the Shubb C3 for my 12 String Acoustic it's great. Every string rings out clearly. This was always a problem using inferior and 6 string capos in the past. The Shubb C3 allows me to set the tension I wish and it clips on and off so easy. It's better than I expected. I've told my friends to order the Shubb C1 for their 6 string acoustics.

Ease of Use:
It retains the tension I've initially set it to and clips on and off easily.

Overall:
years

Feature:
I love the features on this capo and it is very easy to use! I love the way it can press down every string on my 12 string guitar! It is very easy and fast to adjust!

Quality:
The quality is great! I had mine for nearly 10 years now before loosing it and it still was working great! I also had one in the 80's and that one wore so I bought this new improved one and it is great! Yes I could have contacted this place but that one too got much more use and I felt that things in time do wear out so I did feel they should have replaced it.

Value:
The price is worth every penny!

Desirability:
I just lost mine and I want it!

Sound:
I just can say enough about this wonderful capo so read on!

Support:
No I never had to contact them but I have heard they are wonderful to deal with!

Overall:
Don't search for another! This is the one!

Feature:
N/A

Quality:
Seems very well made. It should last for years.

Value:
It just work. $17 wasted. Try the Kyser.

Sound:
The bottom line is this things doesn't work. I have a Danelectro 12 string and this capo simply isn't able to hold all 12 strings in contact with the fret. No matter how tightly I fasten it the high octave E A and D strings are dead. My regular Kyser 6 string capo does a much better job (it keeps all the strings in contact except the low octave E).

Ease of Use:
It's easy to use, but takes a minute to figure out.

Support:
N/A

Overall:
Very disappointing, especially after the other rave reviews posted here.
