John thank you for taking the time to point out all the advantages of your power wrapper vs other wrappers. You've hit on a number of key features that in my mind that makes the Flex Coat power wrapper superior to the others! I have to appologize for my DIY comment, your wrapper is clearly a well thoughtout and engineered piece of equipment, please accept my apology for speaking out of school.

Hi all you rod building addicts, Im looking at purchasing a power wrapper and would love some feedback between the two? The slip clutch on the Flex Coat seems very nice and the fact you dont have to move the motor belt for various speeds. The Flex Coat power wrapper has a very DIY look to it vs the Alps and I want to invest in a product with long life to it. Any opinions regarding the plus/min

This is all outstanding information and I thank you all very much!! I've now set my sites on a power wrapper and need to determine either a flex coat or Alps.

I want to make sure I invest in a quality pro

Thank you again very much, Im sure you'll see more of me out here working my way to making great rods

Hi all Im going down the rabbit hole and starting to build rods. I'd like to ask the seasoned builders here your opinion between power wrappers vs hand wrapping? I'm looking at getting an Alps setup and also like to know your opinions of the Alps vs the Flexcoat power wrapper? Thanks very much, Im excited to get started and buy the appropriate equipment and get to building! Cheers all, Craig
