D’Addario PWPW1 Ergonomic Peg Winder with Bridge-Pin Puller
The D’Addario PWPW1 is a manually operated string peg winder for speeding up string changes on many guitars, basses, ukuleles, banjos and mandolins. Its rotating handle turns a tuning-machine button with less repetitive wrist motion than turning it by hand. The moulded tool also incorporates a bridge-pin puller for compatible steel-string acoustic guitars.

How to Use It When Changing Strings
Loosen the string safely before unwinding it with the peg winder. Place the tool over the tuning-machine button without forcing it, then rotate while supporting the headstock. On compatible acoustic guitars, use the bridge-pin puller carefully after slackening the string. Never lever against a delicate finish or twist a pin that refuses to move; a technician can help prevent bridge damage.
Which Winder Is Right for You?
The PWPW1 is a simple manual tool, not D’Addario’s newer Tour Grade PW-TGPW-01 with a bearing-equipped handle and a different pin-puller mechanism. It is also not a powered drill attachment. Check the size of unusually large or shaped tuning buttons before ordering. This listing includes the peg winder only, not strings or a string-cutting tool.
Model confirmation: PWPW1 specifications; D’Addario’s separate Tour Grade winder for comparison.
