My first wrapper was a flex coat hand wrapper. After four rods I invested into the Rod smith aka Forecast Wrap Machine. I considered the investment pain management.

Really if you want the best Hand Wrapper all you need is two Forecast AL-Base two Rod Supports and thread carriage http://www.batsonenterprises.com/wrapping-machine then just buy the Batson Drying machine or Forecast and you saved a few bucks to start. The thread carriage rolls up and down the base like butter and the spring loaded fully adjustable rod supports are mint. At the end of the day your going to say I should have just bought the Forecast Machine trust me. I would start with the Batson Hand Wrapper and Batson Drying Machine then step up to the Wrap machine after that and pass on the Hand Wrapper to your favorite bud to try. Just Saying
