It is about time for me to start serving my strings. Can someone give a recommendation on what tool brand and model I should be looking at.

I use the cartel string serving jig. Check out 3rivers or custom king. they probably carry it or something like it. Works well.

That's almost the same as the one I have. Will do all you need. I only do flemish strings so have no idea how you go about seving an endless loop string.

I just went the quick way and bought the cheapest one there was:D. It works fine, so I think that just about anyone works.

I have tried a bunch of makes and some are kinda costly but the Cajun serving tool works the best in my opinion and is also one of the least expensive.

I bought one of the $25 or so serving jigs thinking it would matter ... and it does ... it's a piece of crap. Doesnt keep consistent pressure.
Keep it simple and cheap.

the little spinner works great from 3R. I also have a cajun archery server that is great/consistent, but you can't "spin" it like the spinner... one round at a time by hand. Still doesn't take long to serve:)
both I think are $10.

Another Bear paw fan here. It keeps consistent tension on the serving much better than the cheaper red plastic one I started with.

Dont get the red plastic one from Bohning. You might give archery up all together. They need to fix the slipping and it would fine. I have a bear paw now.
