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.

The machine works very fast, no more sore hands. I used to strip all wire by hand, wish I had one of these 20yrs ago. I made all the money I paid, plus some in about 3 hrs.

Customer Reviews for StripMeister™ Original Drill Powered Wire Stripping Machine

  1. Luanne H Verified Owner –

    I am impressed with the speed this machine works. Had an excellent customer service

  2. Aaron S Verified Owner –

    Just screw it down, set the depth and go. It’s easy to use. I made my money back in 30 minutes. A very satisfied customer

  3. Shelton wade Verified Owner –

    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 $239 I have spent this year already.

  4. Steve M –

    I bought mine from Amazon, I received it and was immediately impressed with the construction. This machine is well built and the quality shows right away. I hooked my Dewalt cordless up to it and started stripping wire. It works just like they say, yes you have to pull the insulation off but it peels very easy. I wanted a machine that was safe, well built and easy to use. This machine is all of those things. I would recommend it highly and will use it as often as I can. So far it has stripped 150lbs. in under 3 hours. Great Machine! Thanks

  5. Mick –

    I am a small time copper baron, so spending $238 on a stripper seem a little extreme. I did not want to buy a cheap stripper have it break or not work well and turn around and buy another. Well I bought one ,the shipping was Very fast about 2 days. The first day I stripped around 500 foot of 18 wire in a hour . It is impressive , well built, and fast . My only suggestion to someone using the stripmeister for the first time , run a test wire. Don’t run a lot until you pull the wire apart to see if the cutter is too low,it will fray the wire. Over all great tool , and I’m glad I bought it . I Should Have Bought This A Year ago .

  6. John Crum Jr Verified Owner –

    Hi people at Stripmeister,

    I bought your drill powered machine about a year ago it more than paid for itself. I don’t know how much I made using it.
    But I can tell you it is the easiest piece of machinery I use in scrapping. I had a bunch of used four Ought that couldn’t be
    reused. In one hour I was able to strip as much wire that would have taken 8 hr to strip by hand. I was going to make something
    Similar to your machine
    Oh why bother when ur machine was so cheap I couldn’t pass it up.

    I had given your name to my friend also and he bought one.

  7. Saul Verified Owner –

    I ordered mine on a Thursday night and received it on Saturday morning. Very pleased with shipping speed. The only useful setting on this tool for me is the tiny wire setting. Romex and larger wires slip out of the blade and the wheels too easily so I find myself manually cutting the romex with a knife. Still a great tool. Happy I ordered it.

  8. M Lonski –

    I haven’t received my stripping machine yet but I wanted to comment on what fabulous customer service Stripmeister has. I called with a problem with my invoice and they corrected it with no complaint or hassle. I would buy from them again in a heartbeat.
