Fender Strobe-E Keychain Tuner Review
I’ve been using my Fender Strobe-E (red) for about 6 months now, and it’s a great gadget. It might be a bit hefty for some, but as my Prius only uses a transponder, not an actual key; my keychain, which also holds my Swiss Tech UKTBS Utili-Key 6-in-1 Polished Stainless Steel Key Ring Multi-Tool, Gift Boxand my Sandisk 8GB Cruzer Titanium USB 2.0 Flash Drive (SDCZ7-8192-A11, Retail Package), is not that unwieldy.
Using the Strobe-E to tune a guitar or bass is easy- just shine the strobe light on the low E string, pluck it, and tune until the apparent motion stops. I used it to tune the E string on my bass, then checked it with my Peterson strobe tuner, and it was spot on.
The Strobe-E has withstood half a year of daily use, and I usually have it in my pants pocket. The only sign of wear is that the white paint on the Fender logo quickly wore off. Other than that it’s good as new. I have had a few keychain flashlights that would accidentally turn on in my pocket, draining the batteries. Because the Strobe-E requires that you hold the button for two seconds to turn on the light, it doesn’t turn on in your pocket. If it does, perhaps your pants are too tight. When the battery does die, of course it can be replaced (that’s why there is a Philips screw on the bottom). The bottle opener works great, and I confess to pulling it out to open up a beer with a twist-off cap, just to show off 
That being said, the tuner has limited utility for me. If I’m gigging I have a strobe tuner in my rig, and when I’m playing at home I have a variety of tuners. So it’s more of a toy than a useful piece of gear for me (at least as far as the tuner is concerned- having a flashlight and a bottle opener in my pocket is essential!). Nevertheless, the device does what it was designed to do, and I must rate it by that standard. If you don’t need a tuner, then don’t buy a tuner and diss it because it doesn’t do anything useful for you. I have used it a few times when I picked up someone else’s out-of-tune guitar and had no other tuner. I can imagine the Strobe-E coming in handy at the beach, when you need to tune your guitar, open a cold one, and find the pick you dropped in the sand!
My only complaints are minor. It would be nice if the plastic cover (which comes in red, black, or silver) was also made of metal. However, that would probably make it heavier and more expensive. Also, the flashlight could be a bit brighter. Yellow may be an optimal color for a strobe tuner but it isn’t the best for a flashlight. But overall, Fender has done a fine job of integrating several functions essential for musicians in one well-designed, attractive device.

Fender Strobe-E Keychain Tuner Overview
Honestly, Fender keychain tuners are so stylish and convenient that we can’t hardly stand it. Our die-cast housed and colorful strobe-e tuner has an LED calibrated to the low “E” of your guitar or bass. It also serves as a flashlight/bottle opener. So if you’re ever tuning up in the dark with an unopened drink, you ars so good to go with a Fender keychain tuner!
