Hi Justin and the team. I just wanted to thank you for the u-tube video on restringing an acoustic guitar. I’ve used the video twice now for different guitars and it’s brilliant. The only issue I had was that not all of the pegs would come out so I ended up with a small flat plate and applied gentle pressure beneath the pegs from inside the guitar. Worked perfectly.
Great u-tube.

Hi Angie @ArizonaAngie
I restrung my guitars at the weekend and tried out the following which I think @RadekSiechowicz recommended in the forum and it worked really well for me.

You can pick up a cheap peg winder like these, which have a little notch for extracting the pins. Added bonus is it speeds up the process of tensioning the strings.

Yep. I have a cheap one like that just for pulling the pins, and a really good one for actually speed-winding or unwinding the strings. The good one doesn’t have the notch.

Then how could it possibly be the ‘good one’!! 
I figured someone would say that. Because it holds the tuner knob more securely (doesn’t rattle around like the cheap one,) has a larger grip, and spins more smoothly. This is the one I consider good: https://www.amazon.com/Music-Nomad-MN221-String-Bearing/dp/B01M9FB6IJ/ref=asc_df_B01M9FB6IJ?tag=bngsmtphsnus-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=80470624769033&hvnetw=s&hvqmt=e&hvbmt=be&hvdev=m&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=&hvtargid=pla-4584070153363963&th=1
