I have been using Hipshot detuners on guitar and bass for many years. The bass model takes up a lot of space. Manring's headstock is longer to allow for access. I find that these are more accurate if there's very break angle at the nut.
The guitar detuner I have has never functioned well. I've never been able to figure out why it doesn't work. The lever more or less allows for a fixed amount of detuning.
