3.0 out of 5 stars Decent line winder until the wind picks up., May 6, 2002

As soon as my kite got up in the wind, the winder stripped the gears and let out all my line. When I pressed the button to stop the line, it broke even further. This winder would work great if there was absolutely no wind, but then again kites are supposed to be flown on semi-windy days. It winds the line in great, once the kite is on the ground, but any pressure from the air while turning the crank will strip the plastic gears iside it. Over all, I was displeasd with this product.

Great line but a little misleading. Letting the line out is a breeze but for a casual flyer reeling in is impossible. Also, don't use this product at the beach. If sand or any debris gets into the mechanism your winder turns into instant junk.

This review is from: Go Fly A Kite Skywinder 30#X500' (Toy)

We purchased one of the winders for my son for Christmas. In examining the "new" product, we found string tangled and knotted through the gears. I disassembled the winder to try and untangle the string, but was unable to do so. Looking inside the device, however, did reveal just how cheaply the thing is made. This is definitely a ripoff. When my son flies his kite in the spring, I'll suggest he roll the line around a stick as we used to do rather than waste any money on another winder.
