This capo offers the precision and power to clamp all 12 strings while maintaining intonation. It's a snap to reposition between frets using just one hand or to "park" it on the head stock.
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.

Great Capo
Just an easy and sturdy capo which is easy to apply and remove. It goes back to form even if you leave it on the strings (not recommended) for hours and hours. I left mine on a whole night by mistake and the next day it got the shape back with no string gouges.
Update: I use this capo and the 6 string version daily. It has held up perfectly and I am really happy with it. I would immediately buy it again if I lost it... which would have to happen because it will never break!
Update #2- It's June 2010 and I use this Daily...for real. They are both (6 &12) my only capos and they are fantastic. To let you know, my 12 string I use a capo fulltime on the first fret since I tune it down to relieve string tension on the 12. So I just love these capos and they most likely will last forever.
Update #3- It's July 2011 and I still have both of them. I have forgotten they are on there for days at a time and they still show no permanent gouges. I use these as...

Exactly what it should be
I bought a Kyser capo around 10 years ago and I still have it to this day. It is well built and still works just as well today as it did back then. I decided to order a spare, since I'm always forgetting where I put the old one. I expected to get exactly the same thing as my old capo, but I was pleasantly surprised to find the design improved. The capo looks similar but the most notable change is the length of the part that goes against the fretboard. It is a few millimeters longer, and that makes a huge difference. On my 12 string I commonly found with the old one that capoing above the fifth fret was a bad idea as the high E would often slip out. With the new capo I can put it on up to the 11th fret and still have it perfectly keep all the strings down. It is easy to use, ease to move quickly, and well built. I definitely recommend this capo.
Exactly the Way It Should Be for 12-String Guitars
If you own a 12-string guitar, you already know you need a longer capo for anything below the fifth fret. This capo is longer, beefier, and with a stronger spring than its 6-string brother.
Another less obvious benefit is the stronger spring makes it work better that the smaller 6-string capo. For the sake of intonation and pitch, I capo as close to the fret as possible. When capoing VERY close to, or on top of the fret using the 6-string capo, the smaller (higher pitched) low E string would sometimes buzz because is was not being pressed firmly on the fret (because its big fat twin was keeping the rubber of the capo too far above the fret). The stronger spring of this 12-string model forces both strings firmly against the fret, so there is no buzzing, even when capoing right on the fret.
You won't regret the purchase.
