Product Description
For almost 40 years, the Klippermate has been used by more players than any other stringer. Join thousands who save money each year by stringing their own racquets. The Klippermate utilizes the drop weight tensioning system. This system is accurate within the industry standard of plus or minus one pound and is calibrated for life. Our exclusive Cam String Gripper eliminates the need for the clutch or ratchet pulling system resulting in an average stringing time of only thirty minutes. The Klippermate is the only machine that comes with string clamps made out of steel and guaranteed for a lifetime. All other machines provide plastic composite clamps that do not hold as well, may have sharp edges and are not covered by a lifetime guarantee. Strong two point mounting system guarantees damage free stringing and supports all size racquets. The base of the Klippermate is made of steel and not light-weight aluminum or fiberglass. This eliminates the need to bolt or clamp the stringer down during use and allows you to string anywhere. Since 1967, over fifty years experience in the manufacturing of racquet stringers has led to the development of this popular stringing machine. We're proud to be the only company making racquet stringing machines in the USA and the only one to offer an unlimited lifetime guarantee along with a 30-day money back guarantee.

The included 3 free sets of strings were a plus, but more importantly I have to recommend the Klippermate based on the supplementary materials. The instructions manual is detailed with pictures at each step to guide you in stringing your racquet. Others proclaim it as one of the best in the industry. I had little trouble with my first racquet. My recommendation: string your first racquet during KlipperUSA customer service's open hours. You can call them for help, and they're glad to do so.
After playing tennis for almost 1 year and having to get my racquets restrung 5 times, the money spent started building up fast. I decided to purchase the Klippermate to string mainly for myself and family, and it's one of the best investments I've ever made. I'm saving so much money by stringing myself and bypassing the labor charges and increased string prices at pro shops. That is one of the major incentives of stringing yourself.
If you're hesitant because you worry that stringing seems complicated, well it's not. It's just really time-consuming at first because you have to familiarize yourself with so many things. Once you get used to it, it goes by pretty quickly. I've strung three racquets with the Klippermate so far. My first time took 4 hours, then 3, then 2. My goal is to string in under 1 hour, because there are other Klippermate users who can do it in 40 minutes.
I fully recommend the Klippermate if you're a beginning stringer. The only reservation I have is if you plan to string for a high volume of racquets per day. You can maximize your time by investing in other models. But if you're a home stringer like me, the Klippermate does the job well. Tensions are accurate.
[UPDATE 8/30/2011] By the 7th racquet I strung, I got down to 1 hour. My fastest time is 42 minutes, which was on my 18th racquet. Speed is about focus and concentration, being confident in your ability to string, and getting into the groove.
Another concern for some is the competing Gamma X-2 / Progression 200. In short:
1. Gamma has a convenient ratcheting mechanism for when you feed too much string into the tension head. The Klippermate doesn't. However, once you're an experienced stringer and know how much certain strings stretch, the ratchet is really unnecessary because you'll feed the right amount anyways. It's more of a convenience for when you first start, or if you never get to that experience level due to lack of stringing frequency.
2. The Klippermate has superior clamps. Period. Gamma owners' biggest complaints are for being bulky, and sometimes cutting into their hands. But really, it's something Gamma users get used to.
3. This isn't much of an issue anymore: Gamma's X-2/Progression 200 previously only had a 5 year limited warranty. Now they've upgraded it to a limited lifetime warranty. Klippermate is still an UNLIMITED lifetime warranty.
Me? I went with the Klippermate. Happy. There are also happy Gamma owners. The main reason for being unhappy is wanting to upgrade to a higher-end machine with features like fixed clamps.
If you're a tennis buff you must have it because I'm not satisfied the way they re-string my 2 tennis racquets. They don't follow my tension specifications. My main string (60 lbs.)has difference tension with cross string (50 lbs.). I noticed it on slice served, main string are displaced.
I'm 3.0 - 3.5 level and I feel it when I serve. With this equipment, I could change my string anytime I want. I strung my first racquet 60 lbs main (16 gauge) and 50 lbs. cross (17 gauge) and I used it Friday, May 5/17, its awesome on flat and sliced serve (no string displacement on both strings). I used the Klippermate Ultimate Hybrid strings they provided -silver power burst & black zyex cross.
This is a great equipment must have for the price and made in the Elgin, IL
Clamps work great, nothing flimsy in this kit. Stringing guide and instruction manual are clear and concise. This is a tool, in the right hands it will do a flawless job in restringing your racquet. I can honestly recommended to anyone who is an enthusiast and wants to tune his equipment perfectly.
