Mine was kinetically-powered, like a self-winding watch!

D’Addario/Planet Waves soundhole tuner. Accurate and unobtrusive.

Same here. I have a micro tuner on each of my guitars. Super convenient. No hunting around for a clip-on.

Yep. They are pricey, but when taken care of it should last the rest of my life which brings the cost way down in my mind.

Yeah, and did you ever try to eat a salad with one? Useless.

TC Polytune. The best I have found. The Peterson strobe tuner is also very good but pricy.

Peterson should pay you for your video, because it was so informative and helpful, I'm ordering a Peterson right now.

I'm a big fan of the TC Polytune. What I like best about that one is it's easy to see, especially outdoors in bright light. That said, I've gone over to mostly the Fishman FT-2 headstock clip which gets no love here, ever. I got one of these for free with a pickup order from some online retailer.
What I love about this little tuner is it's small size and the best feature - it turns on and off when it's raised and lowered. So no fumbling for small buttons. They are also very inexpensive at $15 a pop. So I ended up buying two more and keep one on each guitar. Lately the TC has gone back on the little travel guitar as that one I take outside and it's easier to see. I tried the Peterson and found it to be too big and cumbersome, way too many options, too expensive and in the end did not get my guitar in any better tuning than any other clipon tuner. I do like tuning to a strobe though so when I want to do that I just use my Android phone and the excellent Pitchlab Pro app. |

I now use Polytunes and they are much better IMO.

To add to my comments above...
As much as I prefer the Petersons, I still have a Snark in most of my cases. They are far from perfect, but they'll get you close. I've had several die and a couple of their joints break. I hear that the company is really good about replacing them, but I figure if something I paid 10 bucks for last a year then I've gotten my money's worth, so I've never looked into the warranty. Still, if I could have only one tuner, at this point it would definitely be the Peterson.

I have a Snark (on my 2nd one) that I use every day while my $70 Peterson sits in the drawer. The Snark is just easier to use for different capo positions.
My tuning fork sits in my gear case. I have the original clear plastic sleeve for it too. I got it back in the mid 70's.

Mine too, except mine had an attitude problem. If I plucked the string and it was out of tune, it would give me a dirty look as if to say don't even THINK of playing notes on that string!

I have a Unitune and like it for many reasons, one being the sturdiness of the clip, having broken several Snarks.
I wanted to buy another Unitune but they were out of stock. I found this on Amazon and think it is very close to being the equivalent, and it is available! I like it a lot. https://www.amazon.com/MOOER-Electri.../dp/B07VS1Y4KL
