Lighter weight than similar metal units, which is especially nice on light-weight instruments. The spring tension adjusts easily, and the "rubber" coating on the section contacting the back/side of the neck assures there won't be any harsh contact that might "ding" the neck or create a "clunk" sound. The top (string contact) section is curved to match the radius of most steel-string guitars. Price is comparable to similar capos of various brands, resulting in good function-to-price ratio
