Best Capos.

Us rhythmn guitar players who play Bluegrass and Country Style music use a capo regularly.
I have been using a Sabine capo and it works very well.
Does anybody here have a special preference in their brand of Capo ?
If anybody has a favorite type of Capo tell us about it ,and why you prefer it to other types ?

I've got a 5th string capo that only clips to the 5th string. I really like this capo because it keeps you from having to tune the 5th string...

Is this a guitar capo ? I've never heard of one like that before.

Naw... this is a banjo capo for playing bluegrass in another key... neat little capo though... hehehe....

I don't use a capo on a guitar, but everyone needs to be careful with them. The old capos would clamp so tight that they would leave bumps on the neck of the guitar... I don't think any of the new ones clamp like the old ones used to so that's not a problem today...
