BIGROCK INNOVATIONS SNAPZ Acoustic Guitar Bridge Pin Puller

I like that an inexpensive and utilitarian item can still be manufactured here in the United States. This bridge pin puller is relatively simple in design yet it grips the bridge pin heads securely and allows for easier, safer removal when changing strings. No damage to the bridge or to the pin heads. No prying or twisting required. That this puller is so small allows it to ride unnoticed in any gig bag or case, ready for immediate action in the event of a broken string.Anyone that owns an acoustic guitar with bridge pins and does her or his best to keep it in good condition should consider purchasing this handy tool. Yes, there are alternate ways to pop up bridge pins but most of them require using the bridge itself as a fulcrum, something that can eventually cause the wood fibers to crush, leaving all sorts of impressions, rub marks and scratches in the face of the bridge.

The first time I used this SNAPZ bridge pin puller on my thousand dollar Voyage-Air Guitar VAD-1 Premier Series Full-Size Folding Dreadnought Guitar, to my horror it slammed down on the bridge. I checked the guitar, no damage.The only way to use the SNAPZ 1.0, probably also the 2.0, is to separate the jaws with your thumbnail during insertion. Never forget this. Using this method, I was able to remove the other 5 bridge pins without incident.

This seems to be a great little gadget. I first used it today to pull the bridge pins on my Hummingbird. Definitely easier than using fingers. Totally superior to any metal tool - no risk of damaging the bridge or the pins. Basically, you just slip the shaft over a pin, push the collar down until it goes 'click' then pull out the pin. Couldn't be easier. Highly recommended.

Saw this on the Rosa String Works YouTube channel and based on Jerry's recommendation, I bought this bridge pin puller. He raved at how well it worked, and I concur. Amazingly easy to pull those hard to extract bridge pins. It's far and away so much better than what is found on string winders, and especially useful for avoiding scratches or dings on your valuable guitars, should you "slip" using regular pliers or a metal instrument. The only criticism I have is that the cost seems rather exorbitant compared to it's size and construction - but it's hard to be critical when it works so well.

I received my Snapz bridge pin puller on 4/18/2017. Sooner than I expected, nice. I'm happy with it for sure. Tow Acoustics that have been aggravating pulling the pins whenever I need to restring them. They get restrung a lot. This tool pulls pins quick and easily, no damage to the bridge, or pins. If your tired of fighting bridge pins, get one you'll be glad you did.

Works great on both my Kanile'a ukulele & Washburn acoustic guitar.Simple: Push the open end over the head of the peg. Lower the collar towards the instrument. The peg comes right out.Easy to use. Don't have to try to slide a thick peg puller under the head. This pops over the head without any force, and then the collar lifts the peg up for removal.

I am generally able to remove the bridge pins with my fingers, but every one in a while there's one or two that just won't cooperate. This tool makes pulling those occasional stuck pins easy and foolproof, with little or no chance of causing damage to the guitar.

Product arrived promptly but is cheaply constructed of cheap material. The picture on the packaging showed the bottom clamp open, but I was unable to get the clamp to open as shown in photo. Forced the clamp over a guitar pin (which did pull out easily), but discovered that the puller had damaged the pin as a result of the initial forcing process. Would work (presumably with no damage to pins) if the clamp actually did open and subsequently close when the ring is pulled down over it. Would suggest that the designer re-visit the tool's design!
