I love this bridge pin remover, it seems a bit flimsy but does exactly what it's supposed to, grip the bridge pins firmly enabling their safe removal with zero risk of scratching the bridge or snapping the pins themselves. You can apply gradual even pressure until they pop. They stay gripped after removal until you release them too, so the don't fly or fall on the floor or roll under the furniture. I've got a couple of top end acoustics which I would really hate to damage or scratch when string changing, this little pin puller make this job safe and simple, if it does break in the future I'd buy another one for sure but so far it's going strong, it's tougher than it looks.
