<p class="MsoNormal">Greetings fellow wire-wrapper. I thought I was the only one left on Earth.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">It’s not the answer to your question but it makes for a useful point of view. I’ve never used the slit-n-wrap. 30 years ago I looked at the several WW tools that were available at the time (doubt anything has changed since then). I ended
up getting a <a href="https://www.grainger.com/product/2TDY1?cm_mmc=PPC:+Google+PLA&s_kwcid=AL!2966!3!50916775557!!!s!81032193717!&ef_id=V5@6cQAABbqPZj@S:20171108171448:s&kwid=productads-adid%5e50916775557-device%5ec-plaid%5e81032193717-sku%5e2TDY1-adType%5ePLA">
combo dispenser and stripper</a>. 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></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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. You’ll probably have to wrap the case with tape to get it securely closed again. The cutter and stripper on
mine are just as good as new after 30 years of use.<o:p></o:p></p>
