definitely buy one!
I now have three of these so one is always in reach and others I leave clamped to a guitar. they work great, the battery lasts a long time, easy to read, way more convenient than having to use my old Korg with a cable, (although the Korg has been a workhorse for thirty some years...still use it for setting intonation). I also have a F#%der clamp on, it works well too, but I prefer the features on the Snarks. we've come a long way from using tuning forks and harmonics, now we wonder how we ever got along without these things. if you're hesitating, don"t! just get one (or three)....Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Accurate but...
This is a dependable and accurate tuner but could be designed different or made better. This is my third one because it breaks too easy at the pivot base (happened twice). This could possibly be my last snark tuner...Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

It's easy, ready and accurate tuning even in bright sun.
I am a luthier who uses snarks to do virtually all tuning related work on a stringed instrument, especially settling intonation. Bases are more difficult but if you do a twelfth fret harmonic bases are tuned perfectly. You need to do that to set intonation too. I've tuned harps, autoharps, dulcimers, hammered dulcimers, fiddles, violas, cellos, bases, guitars (6 & 12 string), mandolins and Ukuleles. I have tuned them with the tuner attached to the guitar stand and not on the guitar (try that - it'll blow you away). These were on sale so I snagged them up. Also for outside gigs it is bright enough to read.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Couldn't be better
If you want a guitar tuner that is both accurate and easy to use, look no farther. Some of these tuners can't seem to make up their minds whether or not a string is really in tune. Not so the Snark. It will let you know right away if the string is sharp, flat, or just right. It works well on either acoustic or electric guitars. I'm just sorry I did not buy a Snark a lot sooner.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

big, clear display
Hi. I've owned 4 different tuners which I use to tune my acoustic and electric guitars. They all similar operate by the same principal. I even have an older model of the SNARK tuner I bought more than a year ago and I still use it. However, this current (new) model is easier to use. When I tune the string to and E or G# or whatever I wish, the display shows much more clearly that the string is tuned to just the right tension. More specifically, the line in the center that indicates you've got that note spot-on is much thicker than the older Snark model, and the competition. It's just easier to read and makes tuning that much quicker which means less battery used. I expect I'll get more tuning from a fresh CR-2032 battery on this new model of the SNARK tuner. Buy one.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

new feature
This works just like other snarks. They are a very easy tuner to use, easy to determine half step increments. A new feature with this one is the screen goes black except for one line when no sound is being registered. This seems like it will save battery life.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Go get a Snark SN5X!
Well, I do not understand the "awesome sauce"' comment but this is a tuner that I like. In fact, we bought two of them as gifts for young granddaughters who are training on several stringed instruments. They had every instrument in the house tuned in no time at all. These are accurate and simple to use. Excellent in live performance situations. Go get one, or several while you are buying tuners. On a separate note, can someone explain to me what awesome sauce has to do with this???Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Easy to use, great for live purposes, great value!
Small, adjustable and easy to use. I love my Snark tuner! It's great to have because I can tune up before I hit the stage and not have to plug anything in, just snap it on to my guitar headstock.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Great tuner
Works just las advertised - display is very easy to see compared to others / bigger & brighter. The clamp isn't as good as the competition - seems to want to slip off my bass if not careful - but still works just fine. Overall I like this one better than the others I have bought. Can't beat these for the price.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

I have always liked the SNARK tuners, as they generally offer a quick and accurate way to get your instrument ready to roll. This particular tuner (SN-5X) offers that same easy-to read dial that lets you know when you are spot on! It just seems to have a bit of "lag" time when compared to others I have but still offers perfect tuning. Not sure about the P65 Warnings that say it can cause cancer and reproductive harm, but maybe if you ate one (which I'm not planning to do) that would be a concernVerified purchase: YesCondition: New
