Kinedyne 10092 Kwik Winder

Don’t mess around with power tool adapters to wind up straps on your winches. This hand winder is so easy and fast that there’s no need.

If you drive a flatbed, you need one of these. I work for a lumber company, I make 10-15 stops a day, and my straps are usually pulled 1/2 to 3/4 of the way out with the loads we put on the truck. Before I ordered the Kwik Winder, I'd be standing there for a few minutes like an idiot trying to wind the things by hand...now its 5 seconds and my straps are retracted. You need this.Onto the actual product, it appears to be really nicely made. The handles are solid, but I'd keep an eye on the end nut...if that backs off you can lose one of the handles. My initial concern was that I wouldn't be able to use it for the strap I needed it for most, which is the one between my rear axles...it has a plastic shield around it, so I thought the Kwik Winder may not fit. But because of the length of it, you're winding the thing with your hands out from under the bed anyway, so it works great for that. I use this probably 10 times a day, and I can't imagine not having it now.*Update* So I'm on my second one of these, no fault of Kinedyne, I just left the first one on my bed when I drove away from a job site. On both of them however, the end cap (I initially thought it was a nut, but its crimped on) fell off in the first week of use. It doesn't really effect the function of it, hell my first one had been run over by a car and didn't have either handle and worked fine, but I'm annoyed by it. I'm not using it particularly hard, I'm its intended audience, and it didn't make it a week in the form its built. Both handles on it are really for convenience, but still...there has to be a way to make the end cap not come off so easily.*Update 2* I lost my other brand one, so I bought two and gave this Kinedyne one another shot along with an Ancra. On like the eighth strap I was reeling in the dumb end cap came off. I used it with one handle for the rest of the day, threw it back in the box it came in, and dropped it off at UPS on my way home to return to Amazon. Now I have two of the yellow handle ones, which don’t seem to just fall apart like these ones do.

The product came in as it was described on the site. I had looked at one of these at a few of the truck stops while I was on the road, but amazon had the cheapest price. This thing makes my day so much easier. Those days that it is raining or sleeting out, I'm not there fumbling with straps waisting valuable time off of my 14 hour clock trying to wrap up 10-16 straps.The only weak spot that you may notice with this thing is the retaining cap on the end. It holds on the second handle. Mine popped off the other day and I didn’t notice that it had until later when the handle flew off. A couple of strips of gorilla tape and we were back in business.

Definitely works for what I need it for. I personally like how strong yet lightweight it is. The handle grips are nice and bold too. Making it very easy to use. If i ever needed to purchase another, I know I would be getting a great purchase with this product.

Back-handle fell off the second day. So improved, since all previous ones fell off at first use. Still a good tool.

The best 20 bucks I’ve ever spent. I can wind up 10 straps in the time it would take to do one. My wrist doesn’t hurt for a week. I’ll never be without one.

End tip came off still works

I needed this because I lost one at one of my drop sites. It arrived in perfect timing. The only thing I didn't like is that it is yellow but in the picture it's black. I can live with that though.
