I started stringing about 9 months ago using a Wise 2086. I find it produces consistent results and is an economical way to upgrade a lock-out machine. Negatives are the louder beep noise it produces and that you can can only pre-save two tension settings. I need to manually bump up the tension for the final mains or crosses as there isn’t a knot function. I thinks it’s a good machine for the price though.
