    I do not build any more because I have too many rods now to last me until..... I only do repairs now and the wrapper I have works well enough. With that said, if it was many years ago I would invest in a better wrapper than I have now. If you find a way to go back in time please let me know. Lots of great information here, thanks Captain Lee.

    I have the ALPS with the upgraded chuck and love it. The big difference I see between the two is motor placement. The ALPS motor is on the side, and CRB has it under the chuck, giving you more length of track to work over. I went with the ALPS because of a friend's recommendation, and it was on sale for 50% off. If I were to buy another one, I think I would try the Gen 2 for the extra room and the degrees engraved on the chuck.

    Would love to see a video of how the G2 works. Specifically how to adjust the rod holders and how you have the thread carriage on there and how you are wrapping with it. I have not been able to find any videos on how the G2 works. Thank you!

    Does the chuck on on the gen 1 pro wrapper stay chucked on the rod good? I had a poor man's one I made added on to my hand wrapping rig. I don't build enough to spend big buck. I can get a gen 1 pro wrapper for 100 bucks just to add on to my hand wrapping station from time to time when I need to do under wrapps to save alone of time.

    • @fdxcustomrods

      It was fine. I didn't like the pedal, but I'm doing a video on how to fix that. Plus, it didn't have the dryer motor built in.

    How many crb pro stands would you recommend for a 9ft rod I have 3 but seems a little wobbly would 4 do it or will I need more

    • @fdxcustomrods
      @fdxcustomrods  2 місяці тому +1

      I have 5 on my track to handle up to 8 ft rods. You can do it with less. You will just have to move the stands around a bit more.

      They are both great machines, but I use the crb Gen 2 most of the time now. If you're going to build a hundred rods in the future, then spend the extra money. If not, go with the Alps.

      @@fdxcustomrods thanks! Yeah I currently do 4/5 rods a month but plan on doing far more in the future. Don’t get me wrong a hand wrapper works well for some jobs but for others it’s not the most time efficient.

    Ive been using my new CRB pro Gen 2 about a week now. There's definitely a learning curve from hand to power. Everythings been good so far.
    Theres a couple things that could be improved though. No slip clutch (not a big deal), it is not very smooth at low speeds. The digital read out is useless. To get the head spinning you have to have the speed cranked way up and then try to slow it down quickly.

    • @fdxcustomrods

      I don't have that problem with mine. You should call Mudhole. I also wrap in my socks. I don't get good pedal control in shoes.

      @@fdxcustomrods I called them when I first got it. They said that was normal. They said ignore the digital read out as it would not match what the direction say and that it needs to be turned up then slowed down.
