I have been stripping copper wire by using a knife for years. I got this little drill operated machine and WOW was I impressed, this tool is awesome. I was able to strip about 10 pounds of wire in an hour.

Love the ease of use and how quickly you can turn a box of wires into clean copper. There is no better drill powdered wire stripper on the market. Everyone I know about and watching scraping on YouTube swear by the stripmeister. Definitely the best of the best.

OMG!!! I love this thing! Wish I had this years ago. I had 2-3 buckets of stranded and solid #10 and #12 wire, I had it all stripped out in a little over 2 hours. Best $149 I have spent this year already.

I am upset I waited so long to purchase the Stripmeister. I waisted money on cheap knockoffs that never worked properly. The Stripmeister is the type of product that makes people understand the phrase ‘you get what you pay for’ because it just works. The wire stays right in the middle of the unit every time without slipping off I don’t know how they do it but this little machine has so much thought put into it and it really shows how dedicated the people at Stripmeister are to providing a quality product to their customers. I can’t say enough about this little stripper so if you are still trying to decide on the stripmeister or a cheaper stripper just pull the trigger on the stripmeister I would have gladly paid double for this stripper. A million stars for the Stripmeister.

Very well made and durable. Easy to use ( I figured it out very quickly even without watching the videos). Stripped 16 ga up to 3/0 with no problems. Had a mishap with shipping and within minutes of me emailing the support department I had a response. Less than an hour later, Dave called me and said he was taking care of it. Great customer service. I doubt you’ll get that from the cheaper ones on the market. Spend a little extra and never need to buy a new one.

StripMeister is a great product what else can you say. It’s very well thought out in its design, is simple to set up and use. So far I have stripped out a bunch of 12/2 romex left overs and various size aluminum from #8 to 4/0. Very simple set it up and have at it.
