Customers are not satisfied with the material of the plectrum. They mention it's cheap and thin. Some complain that the screw is made of cheap plastic, and the handle is made with a cheap plastic axle hub. The connector is also made of plastic, but is riveted.

Cheapest winder but it will break.

Cheapest winder but it will break.
For under a few dollars I figured I would use it a few times and toss it if it was bad. Well it is not that great. The winder has a fundamental design flaw. They used a thin plastic insert to take all the torque at the rotational interface. No bueno. I used it once and I noticed that as I was using the tool to lift the pins the insert was coming out. I pushed it in with my thumb. Then when I was winding my last string it just simply fell apart.I'm going to give you free engineering help Mr. Dunlop.I went to my basement and found a bolt with a head that would just fit in the winder. I drilled out the broken piece from the handle with a hand drill. Added a dab of glue (I had the red one handy but the blue stuff would be fine too). Last, I tightened it just enough so I could still twirl the winder with one hand. Took me ten minutes.Hope this helps. I'll report out as I continue to use the upgraded version with metal instead of plastic for the insert.UPDATE: Used it four times this week (8/13/2020) while adjusting the action on a guitar. No issues at all and it is working fine. The screw held up fine and it never backed out.
