Chord SW4C String Winder & Cutter Tool

The Chord SW4C is a combination tool that handles three common jobs when you change guitar strings. It brings together a string winder, a string cutter and a bridge pin puller in one small body, so you can keep everything you need in your case or gig bag without carrying separate tools.

The winder speeds up tensioning, letting you bring new strings up to pitch far quicker than turning tuners by hand. The built-in cutter trims off the excess string once you have fitted it, and the pin puller lifts bridge pins on acoustic guitars so you can remove and replace strings without prising at them with your fingers or a coin.

At 90 x 53 x 12mm and 40g, the SW4C is light enough to sit in a pocket of your case and stay out of the way until you need it. It suits players who want a simple, practical tool for routine string changes on both acoustic and electric guitars, whether at home or on the road.

What does the Chord SW4C do?

It combines a string winder, a string cutter and a bridge pin puller in one tool, covering the main tasks involved in changing guitar strings.

Does it work with acoustic and electric guitars?

Yes. The winder and cutter suit both, and the pin puller is designed for acoustic guitars fitted with bridge pins.

How does the pin puller work?

It grips and lifts the bridge pins on an acoustic guitar so you can remove old strings and fit new ones without damaging the pins or the bridge.

How big and heavy is it?

The SW4C measures 90 x 53 x 12mm and weighs 40g, so it stores easily in a case or gig bag.

Can I use the winder to speed up string changes?

Yes. The winder fits over the tuning pegs and lets you wind strings up to tension much faster than turning them by hand.
