The Speedy Winder is an excellent reel device especially made for kite flying and includes some very useful features. Molded from high-impact ABS plastic, these reels have built-in ball bearing steel raceways for smooth low-friction operation. A pivoting heavy gauge steel line guide helps keep retrievals swift and tangle-free. Comfortable grip and large handle is a joy to use and an integrated "dead bolt" locking mechanism allows for relaxed and secure parking at any altitude.
