7.2in Blue Kite Reel Winder

This kite winder changed the way I fly. It is a whole lot easier to let line out and to reel it in. Keep in mine that the supply line might not be sufficient for your kite so double check your kite instructions. I have large hands and 8.7 inch reel is ok for my hands. The 8 inch or smaller winder squeeze my fingers making it difficult to reel in the line. Also remember that the company that put the line on had a machine do it, which means your line will twist on you once you let out some line. I came across this with my daughters 8 inch reel. I unfortunately took all the line out so I can take out all the twisting in the line. Overall good winder for the money can't complain. Enjoy this product if you choose to buy it.

Works fine. Easy to work and the line is perfect. Easy to work.

Easy to use right out of the package. Pros: Nice, comfortable grip Easy to wind Durable string The Hook on the end of the string will not come undone if you close it correctly Easy for children to hold onto, but I do not recommend allowing children to hold it when not locked Cons: The Hook on the end of the string is very difficult to open It easily gets tangled when not in use Get unwind very fast - I recommended wearing gloves because if you don’t get a rope burn, the plastic will burn you from turning. I recommend it for adult adults.

I was surprised at the quality of this reel winder. Im a grandpa making kites for the grandchildren and this is perfect to keep the string in-line for inexperienced user. Highly recommend.

I was excited to get this but quickly found the line falls off the spool and tangles beyond remedy because there is no tension on the line to keep it taut when not in use.

I have a couple of these and after a few uses I'm torn. Compared to the junky kite string "handles" that come with most kites these are so much easier and enjoyable to use, the string quality seems good, and I can't imagine possibly needing more string - as it is the kite gets so high you can barely see it. BUT my huge issue with this reel is that it is insanely easy for the string to come off the reel when not being used and then into a horrific rats nest of tangled string - it has happened multiple times and I've probably spent literally hours untangling. Every reel in this style seems to be made the same way, even ones that are way more expensive, so don't know if there's a way to get around it but it definitely adds hugely frustrating moment to an otherwise fun product.

Much easier to use when flying a kite then the string that normally comes with one. Worked perfectly, durable enough to survive children. Reel is big for a toddler, but with adult assist it works perfectly. Had string reel all the way out, and back in without difficulty while flying several different kites. It is the only way to go.

This reel is very helpful for managing kite string. I will not be without it for future kite flying.

Geht viel besser als der mitgelieferte Wickel...!
