electric or crank

Hi bsvilla: Both types can give a good job. That said, with a crank, you have to be more careful, as it is a lock out type machine, and there are things that you need to pay more attention to to get a good result.
Be forewarned about purchasing a cheap electronic machine, unless someone has a decent used one for sale.There was a poster here that actually went to the Eagnas warehouse, and saw the cheap electronic components that were used in those machines, although they can look like other machines on the market, the electronics cheapens it.
Basically you get what you pay for.
A good electronic is faster.
If you plan on stringing a good # of racquets over a good amount of time, and
if you have the $, and know that you will be stringing for a while, best to get a high end electronic, thats what I did, although I don't string nearly anywheres near the #'s that I did years ago, the electronic machine makes the job fun.
If $ is concern, there are some good cranks, that can be upgraded with a wise(an electronic tension head), later on.My opinion, if you are thinking of eventually upgrading, it may be best to go with a good electronic, if you have the $. The better the machine the more enjoyable the job is, and the easier it goes.Just my opinion. Good luck!

Go with a crank, a cheap electric is not worth it.
