I've heard people say they'd rather not spend money on one of those drill attachments because it's extra stuff to bring and it's expensive, and just one more thing that you can forget to bring or one more thing that can go wrong.
I just found this one. It's $30, one part, small, doesn't seem very noisy, and at 250 wraps per charge it seems like a really good deal. The only downsides I can see compared to the TAM attachment is that the WrapWrench is $10 more (but doesn't require you to buy a power drill if you don't already have one) and it probably doesn't roll as fast as a higher powered drill could.
Just wanted to share this with everyone since it seems new and looks better than anything I've seen before.
edit: no sales pitch

LAM, I said that in reference to the people who don't know what it does / why someone would want to use this instead of hand rolling their wraps. Don't be a dick.
And njg, poo. I already ordered it, hopefully it holds up. If not, hopefully there's a return policy. Looks like it was in New Orleans at 2 this morning so if I get it I'll try it out.Meet: 440/248/485 = 1173@144 sp

It came partially charged. I tried rolling one of my wraps and it seemed to work good for the first third or half of the wrap, but then it kinda stopped. I don't know if that was because it wasn't charged all the way or maybe it just isn't strong enough. I was still able to get a good wrap out of it, just had to stretch it more than normal.. I'll try it again in an hour or two after it charges a little and do a comparison, take pics of wraps, nudes, and post here.

This is a pair of 2.0m Inzer Iron Z wraps. For comparison:
My hand-rolled wrap: approx 2 7/8" diameter
Wrap Wrench wrap: approx 3 1/8" diameter
Some of the difference is due to the Wrap Wrench's thick center, so considering that, I'd say overall the Wrap Wrench wrap is only a little looser than my hand rolled wrap.
At my level I don't think the tiny bit of extra tightness will make a difference, but saving my grip strength for the actual wrapping and for the deadlift in a meet should come in handy.
edit: sorry, been calling it "Wrist Wrench" this whole time when it's actually called "Wrap Wrench"Last edited by goosefrabbas; 01-27-2012 at 02:54 PM.

Sorry for the bump, but I said before it seems like a good product. I've changed my mind after using it two more times. So in case anyone was thinking of getting one of these... don't. There's barely enough torque to roll a foot's length tightly, and it's even worse for a more cast-like wrap (like the THP's I just rolled today).
