Looks epic, but it's not perfect
Looking through Thomann's collection of 12-string capos. This was the only one with an appealing design to me.
The build quality is very good, and I'm not at all worried that it will break.
It has a very epic and professional look to it, but I wish it was a bit more ergonomic. I like the ones that you squeeze from below instead of from the top. Even after heavy use, It still feels a bit unnatural.
The rubber (Capo Boot) slides off with usage, so I have to pull it back onto the capo every now and then. It's not a big problem, but the issue is if it would slide all the way off, which has happened to me. You then risk losing the rubber part and that would make the capo unusable until you get the replacement part.
Though, despite the ergonomics not being perfect and so on. It does what it's supposed to do. It definitely creates enough pressure to hold down all the 12 strings without any issues.
Out of what Thomann has available at the time of writing this article, I would still go for this one again.

Questions and Answers
Is it worthwhile getting a 12-string capo?
Yes. Although the main difference between this one and the Kyser 6-string capo is a slightly tighter spring to hold everything in place.
Would my Kyser 6-string capo do just as good a job?
In hindsight I would not advise rushing out to get this capo unless the ones you already had didn't fit your 12-string guitar?
Can it work on my 6-string guitar?
If you're feeling lazy you can transfer this capo from your 12-string to your 6-string without any cause for concern. The only thing I would make you aware of is that the spring is tighter than the Kyser 6-string capo and therefore might cause tuning issues on 6-string guitars with lighter gauge strings.

Great capo
I use it not only on my 12 string guitar but also on my other guitar and it works perfectly. It's a little hard to open but that's good because you're sure it presses al the strings well

Good capo, not only for 12-string
I ordered this capo because I bought a 12-string acoustic guitar and the ordinary Kyser Quick Change capo didn't quite work on it.
This capo has the same sice, the only difference is the strength, it puts a little more force on the strings.
3 stars for handling because it didn't work perfectly on my 12-string but I guess this might be because it is a rather cheap instrument...
Or maybe 12-strings aren't meant to be played on with capos.
But I'm adding an extra-star because it works nice on 6-string-acoustics with stronger strings.
The quality is, like the other kyser capos, just perfect!

Effective and good value
Bought to use with my S&P and Guild 12-strings. I already use a Kyser on my six-string guitars, but it is a bit fiddly to use on the 12s as you need to take extra care to ensure all strings are properly fretted. The 12-string capo's stronger spring and slightly longer fretbar make it more suitable for the slightly wider neck and different string deflections of the 12-string guitar

The best capo I've ever had
Regardless of needing this one for my new 12-string guitar, I've never had such a well-built capo for my other standard guitars.
Now I find myself using this one all the time, even given its size fits perfectly, so I use this single one in my gig equipment.
I know that there is a small-sized version of it, so I'll probably consider to use both, but anyway the size of this one is not a problem for regular sized guitars.

Unbeatable 12 string capo for both acoustic and electric guitars
This capo works perfectly and is made of very high quality materials. It is very easy to apply to the guitar. It should last a lifetime.
