See what some EcoWrapper owners are saying!

I wrapped one of the rods on Friday and I really enjoyed using the wrapper!! I really like the feature of being able to back up a few wraps if you make a mistake. I also like the thread tensioning system much better than the sewing machine type. I use silk thread when I wrap the bamboo rods that I make and your system doesn"t fray the thread!! I also like the nice system for wrapping the tips. The wrapper is a well thought out system and you did a GREAT! job in it"s design and construction. I would not hesitate to recomend it to anyone.Thanks for getting it shipped out so quickly.

A HAPPY customer,

I have worked quite a bit with your EcoWrapper and really like it. I've figured out how to finish the other end of the wrapping, with trim wrap, with your EcoWrapper it's a breeze.

Good Luck. I think you have a great product.

Hi Clyde and thank you for developing the EcoWrapper, it is a fabulous system. Looking back on the day my wife bought it for me, I'm really glad she didn't skimp and purchased the whole system. Wrapping rods is much easier for me now, as I've developed arthritis in both hands over the last couple years and used to have take several days off after wrapping for just one long day.  That is not the case anymore with the Eco unit.  

Thanks.... I'm a happy wrapper now!
