Rated 5.00 on the scale 0.1 - 5 based on 11 customer reviews
We absolutely LOVE the BWS-80 HD
We've decided to buy a new BWS-80 HD wire stripping machine. The same as we currently have (purchased in 2015). While we absolutely LOVE our current machine, it's been through a lot over the years, and I think it's ready for retirement. You can only back into the poor thing with a forklift so many times. It has just been an extraordinary piece of equipment and has stripped millions upon millions of feet of wire run through it over the years. <br /> <br /> Thanks for everything!<br /> <br /> George Scidmore<br /> ViaKable Mfg.
Amazing Machine. Love it, Recommend it. Willing to give reference !
We tried purchasing a new wire stripping machine from a well known manufacture, but had major troubles placing our order. So we did some research and came across the BWS-80 HD from Bluedog Wire Strippers. After 2 weeks of owning this machine we have stripped over 40,000 lbs of scrap copper wire. Our Spanish operator is highly critical of new purchases, and he said the BWS-80 HD is "Muy Bueno!" The BWS-80 HD is easy to use, you can strip large cable and small cable fast and with little adjustment. We highly recommend it. Infact, if you need a reference before purchasing we are happy to advise! Please call Joe @ Bluedog Wire Strippers and he will connect us. Dave @ Nesser Metals, NJ, USA - June 2022
BWS-80 HD is HEAVY DUTY!
Thank you! The BWS-80 HD has been a great machine and we will most likely buy more of these units as we need to replace our other existing machines. Thx Gordon @ Metro Group.
Great Design
We are still loving the BWS 80 HD! We processed about 60MT of cable and wire in the last year! this machine is a #beast!!!<br /> David Snow. Trademark Metals Recycling LLC.
Clean, Safe, Excellent Heavy Duty Wire Stripping Machine
We purchased the BWS-80 HD from Bluedog Wire Stripper back in 2015. Our machine gets used for an average of 8 to 16 hrs a week. We have yet to change the blades and its still working as good as the day we bought it. We have since opened a second location and purchased a 2nd machine. It is Clean, Safe, and a huge moneymaker. We like how well it works and highly recommend to help you maximize your scrap copper wire value. If there is one regret, we should have got the BWS-80 HD sooner! <br />
