This capo does not pull the strings sideways (as many capos do when you mount them), and the pressure can be adjusted very precisely (unlike most other capos). It presses equally across the strings (no wiggling needed), is weight neutral (whereas some capos add a lot of mass to the neck - if guitarmakers had wanted that, they would have added this weight themselves), it is not much in the way of your fingering, and it looks good. If you think trigger capos are the best, get one, if you want the best capo, period, get this one.
