Flexcoat wrapper SW-1 vs. SW-2?

Anyone have any thoughts about which would be better, or any comments (+/-) about either? I think the price difference is small. I'm only interested in a hand-wrapper.

Thanks in advance.

Tom, I've used and liked the SW-1 for nearly 10 years and if I replaced it, it would be with another SW-1. This speed-wrapper has an eye at the front of the thread carriage so you rwap thread over the top of the blank away from you. The SW-2 apears to wrap over the top towards you according to the catalog photo. With either wrapper it is a simple matter to add a Flex-Coat motor with foot pedal if wanted. Both are fine tools. Ralph

If at first you don't succeed, go fishing, then try, try again.
