GOOD and Cheap Capo

[antvas1963]

+1 for the Shubb.

[phcorrigan]

The cheap knock-offs of the Dunlop trigger capo on eBay are pretty good for about $3-5.

If you're willing to spend about $22-23, I'd suggest a Shubb or Paige. I have both, and I prefer the Paige.

No contest between the capos if I could have only one a shubb 12!

I got Amazon Basics two for $8.00 and they are great, if anything they might be a tad to strong

I'm pretty sure those are the same ones. I keep a couple around for when I'm playing at home since they are quick and easy.

Paige.

Better than some of the super expensive ones I’ve wasted money on.

Best $20.00 I spent on a capo.

My favorite capos, in order of preference:

1. G7th Heritage, $150
2. Paige, $23
3. Shubb, standard model, $22
4. Dunlop trigger capo knock-off, $3-5
5. Kyser quick change capo, $20

A good ole cheap Schubb. You can’t go wrong.

I was waiting on this. Almost two pages before someone mentions Paige.
Shubb is great at home but easily mislaid.
Works just as well as that 130 dollar capo

I will say that Shubbs last forever. I've had mine since the sixties or seventies. I did have to replace the pad once, however. It will likely last longer than my Paige, but I still prefer cradle-style capos.

Any recommendation?

For cheap, my first choice is a regular Paige capo. Another good choice is the D'Addario NS capo with the wheel to tighten it up.
