Looking for a kite line winder, I careful read lots of reviews to make sure it would fit my large, adult male hands. I bought this unit based on that criteria and wanting a strong kite string. It sat in my garage for almost a year before I could try to use it (thus the rust on the metal parts). The first time I used it, the thing worked great for about 30 minutes. I was thrilled. Then when I tried to wind the string in, the green handle broke off and the kite unreeled about half of the roll before falling down. As you can see, they engineered it to have a metal part inside the winder anticipating that it would need extra strength. Too bad the plastic that holds on to the metal part wasn't strong enough for the job. Without the knob to reel in string and lock the reel from unwinding, it's useless.Also, the included string frayed on the first use.

Very flimsy. Winding knob is dainty and snaps off very easily, had to glue it in. There is no anti-reverse feature and locking the rotation is dome by folding the knob down. Too small for an adult hand. There are way better winders out there for a way better price. Also the string is spun, not braded. Seller stating that this is a professional product is a joke, and a bad one.... One more thing: the spot where the removable (why?!!!) winding knob is attached protrudes into groove for the string thus creating a bump on the wound string.

This is a great reel to use when flying your kite. It holds plenty of line and is super easy to let the line out and it is fast to reel it back in. The line is very strong and can handle a high wind. The handle is ergonomically designed to fit an adult hand so it is comfortable to hold for a very long time. There is a lock mechanism to lock the reel from moving. I currently have a mid sized kite that I fly on the Atlantic ocean beach in Maine and will buy a bigger kite soon and swap the reel between kites. There is a loop on the end of the string that makes it easy to clip onto your kite. If you are serious about kite flying and want a strong line and holder that is easy to use and tangle free, this is it!

It would be a nice deal if the price can be around $20ish. Very good product and easy to use. One star off for the price.

We used this unit with a one of the kites from Amazon. The unit works very well on the release, launchand during flight. The one very telling weakness is the very very weak locking capability of the locking knob. Very often the knob can come lose from handling and that is actually quite dangerous to the fingers. The force of the line when the wheel is 3/4 line out, is quite strong and the knob if it becomes lose, will come flying into one's finger and this has hurt. Adult supervision and experience is definitely needed to use the unit; other wise it does very well in all aspect of kite flying. The unit has adequate strength to handle small to medium kites to the max. length and the flexibility to use one's skill when flying parachute type of kites.
