Customer Reviews for StripMeister™ Original Drill Powered Wire Stripping Machine

  1. Matthew maddox Verified Owner

    Amazingly simple and easy to use!! Strips solid core and braided wire with ease. Small wire not so much. But man oh man the larger wire (say 10g) is super easy. Love this machine!!

  2. Dennis Murray Verified Owner

    Awesome product couldn’t be happier with the purchase

  3. Jason Verified Owner

    It works great and makes it a lot easier and save a lot of time.

  4. Bill Verified Owner

    Works great

  5. Jeff Cross Verified Owner

    I have only put about 3 hours on my StripMeister and I am very happy with what it has done so far. I am only giving it 3 stars at this point because time will be the true test. If the cutting wheel last long enough to strip enough wire to pay for itself then I will be that much more impressed. It seems to be the product that was advertised and that is quite an accomplishment in of itself. I held off for almost a year after first seeing the product advertised before buying one. Wish I hadn’t waited that long. I have already made one modification to save additional time in the process and would be happy to share for a piece of the action. And have a couple more to try.

  6. Brian McManus Verified Owner

    This works wonderfully when its going, the only issue i ever have now is occasionally the blade will slip as the wire turns but that’s not the machines fault. i did have issues with it at first where the blade would get stuck sometimes and would feed, I contacted customer service, they helped/advise me how to fix it. This does make short work of wire even doing it with just 1 person. The machine would have probably been very nice especially with its speed control but a drill works great also. It does seem to work much better with shorter runs, like below 1ft-10 ft then with a 20ft section but that’s because the wire will have lots of turns and its a little harder to do with one person, it probably would be fine with 2 people but all in all i love it

  7. Andrew Verified Owner

    After playing around with different wire sizes to get the hang of setting the machine up. I then sorted all my wires by gauge. I stripped nearly two 55gallon drums full of wire in about 2hours or so.
    This stripper payed for itself in the first hour of stripped and then some.
    It does take a bit to get the blade set to the right depth for stranded wire so you don’t cut to deep into the copper and stress the wire up. I love this machine and am very happy with the results thus far.

  8. Shane Kern Verified Owner

    I just got my Stripper about a week ago, it is very easy to set up. The hardest part is deciding which wires I wanted to work with so I went with possibly 8 gage and once I got it fine tuned I stripped 2 five gallon buckets in no time!
    Love it and wish I would have bought it years ago so I could have saved on stitches.
