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. Keith W Miller Verified Owner –

    This product works well and seems to be very capable/adequate for the jobs that have been performed after a 6 month period.

  2. Justin Verified Owner –

    Very well made, just as advertised and easy to use.

  3. Chris –

    Small learning curve, if it’s not stripped perfectly you are doing something wrong. Fantastic machine!

  4. Justin Densmore Verified Owner –

    Love my little stripper. Only wish I didn’t have to keep adjusting when I change wire size(minor inconvenience)
    What would be really helpful is if there was a bottom cutting wheel or a divider that separates the insulation from the wire completely.
    Besides those minor inconveniences, it’s a pretty solid built machine

  5. Thomas Binns Verified Owner –

    Excellent machine! Work great! Well made and thought out. Wish I would have found this machine years ago.

  6. Shawn Verified Owner –

    Excellent product! There is a small learning curve but I had it figured out in less than five minutes. For anyone that has cloth covered cable, such as L3 and/or L4 TelcoFlex, it will strip it with no issues. I’m also stripping a specialty telecom wire that has two #12 wires inside one casing. I have to run it twice like Romex but it definitely gets the casing off.

  7. John Verified Owner –

    Very easy product to use. Well built and once screwed in with provided hardware is very secure. Stripping wire in half the time and doubling the amount done. Stripping all types of wire 3/O to 14 gauge. Great product for the price, and you’ll make your money back fast.

  8. Paul Grube Verified Owner –

    Great machine. Takes practice and patience. Does really good on solid wire and larger stranded wire. Haven’t quite got the knack of doing smaller Guage wire yet, but I’m still in practice mode. So far so good, no complaints.
