    Comments about Feather Stripper:

    I use this to strip off damaged plastic fletchings. Some that had been 'touched up at the range' with a bit of extra glue to keep them on a bit longer when they started to pull off the shaft of my carbon arrows. So extra glue or factory it strips them off. The ones with extra glue took a bit of work, it was rock hard. No not super glue, regular fletching glue. I did feel I might skip it off the shaft on those and jab my other hand... So it gets the tough stuff off and didn't ruin my arrow. A few more short passes and the rest of everything was gone. I'm new to archery and want to learn to do stuff myself, vs. taking it to the near by place. So it's nice to find a product that every archer will at some point need, that is a good product to have in the archers tool box. That said, I don't care for the easily ripped/torn cover/sleeve thing it came with to cover the blade. It was torn the second I pulled the stripper out. Blades and that material don't belong together! It will do for now. If you loose it make one out of something! Overall it's a good little tool, and unlike ones on an archers muliti tool, you can replace, or sharpen the blades which is a bonus.

    Service and delivery comments:

    Delivery was just fine! Everything was well packaged! I appreciate that because my rural mailman isn't known for being gentle with my mail!

        Comments about Feather Stripper:

        If you are someone that fletches your own arrows, you obviously need something to get old fletches off your arrow shafts.

        You can use a sharp knife, you could use a razor blade, or you can go ahead and spend just a little bit of money and get a specialized tool that works great for this particular job.

        Because it is a curved razor blade that conforms to the arrow and the back part of the frame helps to hold the tool firmly to the shaft as you push it forward and strip off the old fletch and extra glue - it works very efficiently. Even when the blade isn't as sharp as it was out of the box, it is extremely easy to get all the old glue off. With brisk movements and moderate pressure, it just strips it right away as it was intended to do.

        The cover for the razor edge is a huge plus as well. Who needs to constantly worry about slicing their hand open when reaching for this tool in their kit? If you build your own arrows, get this. You will definitely get your money's worth.

            Comments about Feather Stripper:

            This product is excellent for beginners and the more exprienced. The guide on the opposite end keeps the blade at the perfect angle, and keeps you from slipping off the shaft. You can scrape the smallest bit of glue off without scratching or marring the shaft. I was leary of this product at first thinking that I would need to spend much more to get a quality product that works well, but this stripper works great! It was effective even in removing fletching that had been applied with an excessive amount of glue. It comes with a two sided blade, giving you an extra blade from the start and a cover that will save your fingers when digging around in your archery box! Order it, you won't be disappointed.

                  Comments about Feather Stripper:

                  Before I started using this I used a razor blade. A razor blade did the job but I often scratched up the shafts and left nicks in them, espically with wood arrows. This feather stripper does a much cleaner job. I just have to be a little more careful on wood shafts because it still will peel off the laquer when pushed too hard. The angle of the blade takes the feather off without damaging the shaft's finish. The blades hold up for a long time before needing replaced. I have refletched many arrows and I am still on my first blade. If you refletch your own shafts this is a great tool to have around. I wouldn't use a razor blade again.

                  Comments about Feather Stripper:

                  This tool is very easy to use and makes the removal of fletchings a breeze. It did seem to loose the edge after 4 or so, however this was including the removal of the existing cap wraps on carbon shafts, and presume the blade can be reversed for a new clean edge, which has yet to be done. A real time saver with no damage to shafts!

                  Product arrived in respectable time and tip top order.
