2.0 out of 5 stars Too light duty for strong wind, November 29, 2009

This review is from: Kite Reel with 200' 30 lb Nylon Twine (Toy)

I wanted a kite reel that would make reeling our kite in in a decent amount of time. This reel is a nice size, the crank handle folds in to make it easy to stuff in a bag, and the line is good quality. Unfortunately like so many products that are priced low, the quality just isn't there. The day I tried it for the first time was quite windy, so maybe in lighter wind it would have been fine.

In strong wind the whole thing feels flimsy and flexes as you reel the kite in, and felt like the crank handle was just going to snap off. I managed to break the lock right off, though that was due to the fact that I probably shouldn't have tried to use it as a brake! That boo-boo was definitely user-error!

This reel is a big improvement over hand winding kite line. It works great. It is lightweight enough for my three year old to use. It could have been constructed a little better, but I believe it will hold up fine as long as it is not abused.

The first time we used this, it broke right in half. The wind started to take the string out and it snapped. Don't buy it.
