It has a built in stripper located at the right distance from the cutter (about an inch strip distance). I found it to be a good timesaver. After some practice, it was pretty fast. From what I know about slit-n-wrap, it’s probably slightly slower but close, I would guess. I also found that the hand wrapper was better than the powered one because the powered one was too powerful.<o:p class=""></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><o:p class=""> </o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class="">Warning about the dispenser I mentioned: It’s designed for one time use but it’s easy to split the case and rewind the spool.
