I ordered this capo because of the name, quality and quick release. I find it fits my fretboard perfectly and holds the strings down firmly without any buzz back. It is quite strong. I haven't used it a lot yet, but I expect to take it through its paces. I also have a cheaper capo and the feel is a little different. Item is brand new. Packing was original. Took a few days to get here. So, looking forward to good sounds with this capo and hoping it lasts for years. I'll report back if there are any problems.
