Inexpensive hand wrappers?

I have a nephew that has an interest in building a rod for himself. His birthday is coming up and I thought I'd buy him an inexpensive hand wrapper. Nothing to fancy. I know about the basic one that Flexcoat has. Are there any other options say for under $50? Thanks.

Hello James.

ModHole has 3 under $50.00.

TCRW for $16.95 (Table Clamp Rod Wrapper).

CRBHW for $34.95 (MudHole Custom Builder Hand Wrapper).

EW1 for $41.61 (Traveler Rod Wrapper).

For a young starter the EW1 would be good if you build a support (supports are not that hard to build, a piece of felt a little glue, 2 pieces of wood and 2 screws) for it, or if you can't do that get a HW1 for $74.54.

Have a Good Day.

Bob,

New Bern, NC.

Batson also has one priced in the $30 range, though you might want to pick up an extra support for a few dollars more. You should be able to find it through most any Batson distributor.
