Customer Reviews for StripMeister™ Original Drill Powered Wire Stripping Machine

  1. Tommy B Verified Owner

    I was sick and tired of cutting my hands stripping wire with a razor knife. I should have bought this machine a long time ago. Extremely easy to use, Strips wire very fast. I’m using mine with a small cordless drill! This machine is second to none

  2. William Doeberl Verified Owner

    Wow should of had this a long time ago. Definitely will pay for this on my first trip to scrap yard….

  3. Jesse Perez fraga Verified Owner

    I love this tool! It did the work that would’ve taken me over eight hours in about one hour.

  4. donovon.campbell Verified Owner

    Hands down a must have if you have more than 100 lbs of copper. It pays for itself and will get the job done in no time. This device has turned my frustration of having to spend hours with a razor knife hacking away at small wires to a simple joy and pleasure to do so. Life changer. Like everyone else I wish I would have purchased sooner. Thanks stripmiester. I even taped my cordless drill trigger with some tape so that all I have to do is slide the wire in and bam, on to the next piece. I just slide my battery on for on and take my battery out for off. Works like a charm.

  5. Allen Verified Owner

    Great product all around for a great price well constructed I have striped everything from 20 ga to 2 ga thhn and it doesn’t care

  6. Rob Verified Owner

    I am a commercial electrician of 6 years, and as you can imagine, I collect a LOT of scrap wire of various sizes. If you are looking for a way to strip wire efficiently without spending a fortune, I highly recommend purchasing an original stripmeister. Once you figure out how to properly adjust the blade and guide holes to whatever size wire you’re working with, it’s all downhill. I’ve got the technique down now. If you want to minimalize the time you spend stripping, I suggest you separate all the different sizes into piles, making sure the wire is straightened out as much as possible, as kinks will jam up in the machine. Once you have a good pile of prepped insulated wire of the same size, adjust your stripmeister to the right setting, and off you go. It’s virtually effortless at that point, the prep work is the most time consuming part rather than the actual stripping. Hands down without a doubt this was a good investment for me, I doubled the worth of my scrap in about a week, and we’re talking several hundred pounds. Also customer service is pretty on point. I had asked a question about my order before it arrived and they responded very quickly with good information. I don’t usually leave reviews but I was pleased with the effectiveness and overall quality of the machine, so I think stripmeister deserves a good review.

  7. Kirt P. Verified Owner

    The StriMeister is of top quality manufacturing. I spent 40 years in Manufacturing, Mechanical Design and Engineering, and Project Management of multi-million dollar machine design and build projects. I know quality when I see it. I’ve stripped large cable and cable much smaller then the manual says it’s capable of. I actually separated the 4 insulated wires from a 4 flat trailer wiring kit I removed from my old trailer. The outside diameter of the insulation is 3/32. No problem. I stripped all four 18 foot long wires. Great job StripMeister.

  8. Evert Yager

    Very happy so far with stripper. I mainly get old construction grade extensions cords and it handles them with ease. Would like to be able to change stripper over to a crusher type to keep from dulling the blade on soild core wire. I would like to see stripmeister come out with after market rolls to replace blade and V roll
