Allen Company Fletch Remover with 2 Blades

Didn't understand how a simple, common sense tool like this got a bunch of bad reviews so I ordered it anyway. Guess what? I still don't understand the bad reviews. Just got this and tested it out on a few arrows I needed to fix. This thing works great! Nice tool to have and sure beats a knife. This tool is meant to be used with a certain side of the blade facing down(says so right on the tool). Also, you aren't supposed to put a ton of pressure on it while scraping a vane(says so right in the directions that come with it). Follow these very clear and simple directions and you will have no problems with this tool. In fact, like me, you will love this tool! Don't follow these directions and have an experience more like those of the negative reviewers. I'm having a hard time taking any review on Amazon seriously anymore since so many seem to be written by folk who just haven't got a clue. I mean, if you can write well enough to leave a misinformed negative review, shouldn't you be able to read enough to figure out a simple set of instructions and follow them? Or who knows? Maybe the dumber negative reviews were left by the sellers of the other brand of vane stripper here on Amazon. That would help explain why they seem so dumb now that I actually own this stripper. If you have an ounce of common sense and can follow a few simple instructions then you will be as happy with this vane stripper as I am. Don't let the negative reviews fool you. Good luck and happy hunting.

Been stripping with a box cutter this made my life so much easier today. Works great definitely worth picking up.

Works quite decently. I'm sure there may be better out there but the few arrows I fletch with feathers, the tool works nicely. It does take time to do a good job and I then use a dull knife to run up and down the old glue line but overall I am satisfied. As I've only used it on a few arrows, I cannot testify to its durability as I have suspicions regarding maintaining blade sharpness. But for the price, it worked out fine!

Why did I not get one of these 20 years ago?! I’ve used a regular knife for years and finally messed up a very expensive arrow and said enough. This works perfectly.

Time saver worth every penny

If you’re only looking to remove the vanes from a few arrows this is perfect. After the 7th set of vanes I removed, I needed to swap out the blade. Not terrible but not ideal. It fits in the hand nicely and it does come with extra blades. I recommend it as a beginner tool. The arc of the blade fit will on my 5mm arrows and did not scratch or tear up the carbon.

Works as advertised

I found that it marred and removed any skin on the arrow shafts when all that I wanted to accomplish was to remove the fletchings and glue residue. It was much easier and cleaner (less damaging) to just use a razor blade or very sharp precision knife instead.

It works well. Takes the fletching off quick and tidy.

Lo compré para mi esposo y está muy a gusto con su regalo ! A la primera retira las plumas sin lastimar la vara . Buena compra

Es muy fácil desprender las plumas, lo he usado con varas de fibra de carbon delgadas 4.2mm y funciona perfectamente

Works as described and comes with two Extra blades. Highly recommend if your a do it yourself person.

Funciona el producto, pero para Flechas delgadas no queda bien la navaja, es muy grande. Su relación precio-Calidad es mala. NO volvería a compararlo sino incluyen 1 tamaño mas para su navaja. The product works, but for thin arrows the knife does not fit, it is very large. Its price-quality ratio is bad. I would NOT buy it again but include 1 more size for your knife.
