A Korg GA-1 tuner can go down to 5 semitones flat. It's quite common
in the heavier styles of rock music to downtune a few semitones.

That's all very well, but tuning quickly on stage in a live gig
is lot easier if your tuner goes down to the right pitch with
minimal fuss. (Speaking from long experience as gigging guitarist
and bassist).

The GA-1 tuner I mentioned isn't a true chromatic tuner, but
its ability to shift the standard guitar tunings down several
semitones is very useful. In modern metal genres C or B tunings
are probably more common than the standard EADGBE, so this isn't
just an edge case.
