    Anyone use this particular strap winder? Is it worth the price tag? Almost seems like the wheel part would break rather easy? I use the hook to rub rail winder thats like $12 but its been leaving those round holes all over my reflective tape which I would like to get away from...

    I use one, it is excellent build quality. The thin plate is made of thin metal and only keeps the strap straight.

    I never used one . Always hand rolled ( almost like hand made ) , i just noticed that I won't be saving time because by the time forklift is ready to unload me - everything is rolled and stacked away . Its just me ...but several drivers who worked for me always asked for one
    Maybe for you guys its just convenience

    Really? I think if you tried one you might like it.

    I couldn't imagine having to roll 10-12 straps up by hand all the time.

    I use the same one, not the best but it takes up almost zero space.

    that big one looks nice, not nice enough to give up all the storage room it would take up.

    It ain't that bad...
    Plus it strengthens your hands so not even your wife can pry out your beer when you fall asleep in front of the TV...:D:D

    I love it. It's light, takes up like zero room and it's fast. For $20 and commonly found at TAs it's extremely tough to beat.
