Fast string changes, by hand or cordless screwdriver

Turbo Tune


Read 27 Reviews   |   Write a Review

Here's a time-saving tool that's a favorite in busy repair shops. Turbo Tune™ is a cleverly designed string-winding crank that also pulls apart: use it by hand or with your cordless screwdriver. Its versatile socket fits practically any guitar or bass tuner knob, to make string changing fast and easy. The handle is conveniently notched for pulling stubborn bridge pins, too.

At last !!!

I' ve been looking for a similar tool for months. The marked is full of these things, but none of them has the "put it on your srewdriver" option.
The glow in the dark version makes work easy to restring in a dark setting such as backstage

cant go wrong with this

2 tools in one, doesn't take a genius to understand this one. Works great and is a strong product. I dont see this one breaking like a cheap piece of plastic.

Turbo Tune!

Turbo-tune is right! Pop it in your drill driver and there you go! I've used a lot of these guys and most just don't stay firm and a tight fit. But you work with them and make adjustments and you make it work. This one was ready to go right out of the box! I didn't have to cut bass notches, or file in so I can fit the larger tuner buttons. This is my favorite speed tuners I've ever used! And the Glow in the Dark ones, well, I can find them!!

Nice little tool

Purchased this so I would have one inside the house and one in the shop for work. Snaps right in to my Dewalt screw gun and makes things much faster. 5 Stars if the overall size was smaller. Will not fit snug on close spaced tuners.

Really useful

I have been using it for almost 2 months now, and boy it makes things easier!

It's even more practical when you detach the head and use it with a slow speed electric screw driver

handy

Most useful (to me) was detaching the socket and dropping it into a slow-speed, battery-driven screw-driver.

Attached to the handle, I found the handle a tad long (from the socket) - to wind without 'wobble'.

How did I ever.......

Work on instruments without this tool?! 20 plus years and I finally broke down and got one. Don't wait like I did, treat yourself to one today!

String winder

Quite effective and fast, but I found it to be a little wobbly if not held firmly in place. The nose just seems a little too long, making it difficult to keep on the tuner knob. Once one get the hang of it though, it works OK. I have not tried the "powered screw driver" option as yet........

It is ok.

For the price you cannot beat it. However for starters it does not wind the strings that fast and slips around when you are using the bass guitar side. Not bad but I think some other company sells a drill attachment I'll get that next time.

Nice!

Got the Turbo Tune in a timely manner. Was extremely pleased at the quality and look of it. I have only used it once so far and it was very nice.
