Simxkai Kite String Reel, String Spool, Line Winder, Come with Lock

This kite string reel winder is absolutely fantastic! Made from sturdy PET transparent plastic, it’s built to last and feels much more solid and durable than other winder options out there. The bright color and hollow-carved design give it a sleek, stylish look that really stands out.The 2000ft twisted kite line is strong and reliable, and the 3-strand tire thread holds up incredibly well under tension, with a max load of 23kg. The high-speed steel bearing makes it smooth to wind and unwind, while the arc-shaped rotating ring pin adds an extra layer of precision when handling the line.I love the anti-reverse lock feature—it’s such a thoughtful design! You can lock the reel to prevent the line from slipping out when you don’t want it to, and the knotted end ensures the kite string stays in place even if you’re nearing the end of the line.The large gyro handle is comfortable and easy to use, making it a great choice for both beginners and experienced kite flyers. The grip size (3.5in x 2.5in) is perfect for both adults and kids, ensuring everyone can enjoy flying their kites without hassle.Overall, this kite reel winder is well-designed, durable, and incredibly easy to use. Highly recommend for anyone looking for smooth kite flying experiences. Plus, the after-sales service is great, so you can buy with confidence! 🪁

The media could not be loaded. I LOVE these. I bought two, and swap them between several kites. For assembly: here is nothing to put together, you just attach it to your kite and go! It connects with a clip similar to what's used in fishing, it is easy to remove and attach. Cost wise, maybe a little bit of a splurge, but worth it considering how easy they make reeling in and out your kite. They are large enough that they are easy to handle but not too bulky. They make kite flying extra fun and easy, and come in really cute colors!The brake feature is really nice for keeping your kite set where you want it. However I wish it was easier to access/apply, I've seen others (more expensive) with a lever brake that seems like it'd be easier to apply than this one, which twists into place.Overall the item is a no trainer, easy to use, and a great purchase.Maybe consider some gloves or sleeves, or just be aware that if your kite takes off and gets away from you the plastic can cause a cut/burn, similar to a rope burn, it got me my first time, but no problems since : )

It's pretty good at flying large kites. After using this reel 20 times I have 2 concerns. Firstly, the string will easily get tangled up if there's ever any loss of tension, like, it'll easily un-spool itself. Secondly, the little green circular shaped handle you use to wind it up had a bolt come out. I'm thankful that my mom taught me to carry tools when flying a kite, so I repaired it quickly. I think 4 stars is pretty accurate, and yes I reccomend this product. Just be prepared to fix some tangles and definitely carry a pair of scissors with you. I'd rather lose 60 feet of line out of the 2k it has versus spending 30 mins untangling a mess.

This has some weight to it, it doesn't feel cheap at all. Keep an eye on it though, because if you're not careful, it can get in a nasty tangle. That happened the first time I used it. I was able to pick the tangle out but it took long enough to challenge my patience, which is not in short supply. However, every time since, knowing to watch what I'm doing, it hasn't happened again. Some users have said it doesn't fit their hands; it fits mine just fine, but my hands are small, so be aware that the size might be an issue. It works just like it says it does and on the whole, I'm satisfied with it.

We decided to fly kites while camping on the bluffs over Crystal Cove, California.My kids are 40 years old, and it's been awhile.I bought two kites - one a 'dragon' the other some 'squid' lookin' thing.I bought two different spool/winder things - sent on back because it had plastic parts, then bought this one because it was a little more expensive. It is a better mousetrap - wider, sturdier, the handle, while it doesn't fold like the other two is just... bigger, better.At first, if you're not careful, they spin so easily that you're likely to let the string come off the side and wind up with a bird nest. The second time it was so bad I just cut away a couple yards of string and re-tied the hook.There was an onshore breeze all day and the kites just kind of flew like party balloons - to the delight of everyone even at other camp sites. Then, about 3pm, the wind started to change directions and the kites faltered - the larger one looked like it was going to plumet to the ground - and I had quite a bit of string out by that time. I grabbed the reel and wound it in so easily and quickly it stopped acting like it was going to fall out of the sky, and I wheeled it right up the reel. They both worked well - but of the two this was the better one. Totally recommend if you're going to go fly a kite.

The design of this is poor. Seems like a good idea however the string will easily come off the spool and end up with an overhand knot. Frustrating to use as you spend more time untangling it than flying the kite.
