Made of stainless steel with a new roller design that resists wear and opens and closes more smoothly. A restyled lever is easier to handle.
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.

My favorite capo
I have tried several capos, including some that are more expensive than the Shubb capo. This one is my favorite. It does not get in the way of my left hand when I am playing the instrument, like some other capos do. It is easy to use, and it is easily adjustable to provide the desired amount of pressure on the strings. It is easily positioned so that the guitar is not thrown out of tune when the capo clamps down. The only disadvantage is that you must use two hands to position it. For me, this is no problem, but it is less convenient than the Kayser capo, which works like a spring-loaded clothespin, and which some people seem to quickly reposition using one hand. I found that the Kayser capo got in the way of my left hand, and my hand is not strong enough to easily work it with one hand. In addition, the Kayser capo levers that you squeeze seem awkwardly shaped. I guess they put that little curly cue in the handle to make it look cute, but for me it is simply awkward...

Shubb Capo - Still the best after 25 years
I bought my first Shubb capo almost 25 years ago, and although the metal arm shows some wear from repeated use it still works perfectly. Because I play a number of different guitars I now keep a Shubb capo in each case (along with other basic guitar supplies). When I added these additional capos I purchased "Shubb Deluxe" models for each guitar.
As for the reviewers who've noted problems with intonation, any guitarist worth his salt knows that you must as carefully place a capo on the strings as you place your finger on the fretboard. The Shubb Deluxe is the best at applying _equal_ pressure to all the strings across the fretboard, creating what is essentially a second nut. Mechanically you are shortening the overall effective string length which also effects the range of usable intonation, and more significantly effects the timbre of the string/instrument. Be sure to _carefully_ place the capo over the strings, making sure that the capo is near-perfectly parallel with...
Fine capo.
I have this capo as well as the Shubb C-1. Both are fine. I question if the roller design is at all necessary, however both styles work great.
In response to another reviewer, which complained about the adjustment procedure (which takes only a few seconds). Am I alone or is it the "tune" of the guitar that is most important issue when changing capo position? When using a capo further up the neck, why would anyone assume that spring pressure is equal? I've used Both types for years and nothing comes close. Very little weight, small and simple, fits easily in your pocket and adjustable for all types of music, using just the right amount of pressure to where you capo. The more you use it the more automatic it becomes to adjust. It is never in the way, and does not ever become an obstruction when playing (like a roller capo). Then again, there are those that probably never even notice if the additional pressure of a spring type capo is pulling their strings out a bit...
