My Klippermate has strung probably 300+ rackets and works great. I can do a complete string job in 30-35 minutes tops. After you have done a few you learn just how much string you need to make the tensioner go level. Over time you will speed way up!

@Donny why would you say to pick the gamma progression over the klippermate? what benefits does it have as there have been many more people praising klippermate than the gamma progression

Love my Klippermate, I've strung over 200 frames in the last 3 years and no problems yet!!! For the price, it's Unbeatable.

It's great for beginners. And if you break one, you need to go on the Guinness World Records or something.

I've been using one for a few years -- but it still takes me over an hour to setup and string a racquet. Table height makes a pretty big difference in ergonomic usability -- has anyone tried the stand for it that Klipper sells?

Kilppermate is made in USA, the Gamma is made in China. You tell me which one you think is gonna last longer? I have had a Klipper for yrs and have had zero problems

I have had one for 20+ years. Rock solid. Has saved me lots of money stringing. I know exactly how each string job was done, which is great since I have OCD. Only downside is that it can take a while to string racquets while watching movies - I spend about 1-1.5 hours on each string job. I only string my own racquets.
