Quick take

A hand-operated rod guide wrapper with dual thread tensioners and spool-side pressure system for even wraps in custom rod building.

This is a hand wrapper for rod builders who wrap guides and decorative trim on a blank. It puts pressure on the thread spool rather than the thread, and two tensioners hold two spools so you can switch colors quickly. A thread tension rod helps keep tension steady, including when you reverse a wrap. It weighs about 2.5 pounds, so it is a bench tool for building and repairing rods at home.
