I've had two of these and they are not well made. The idea is good, but the little tiny gears inside are CHEAP plastic bits that wear out fast fast fast. I'm getting something else next time as this newer one is almost dead. 0 stars!

Its pretty reliable. Rewinds quickly, and doesn't jam up. For the low cost, it was well worth it.
