I actually expected that the string winder will not last long and fast breaks. But no. I have now been a while in use and I must say that the crank when is completely made of plastic, but quite well made. I was pleasantly surprised. With the crank the rearing of strings Rucki Zucki goes. The value for money is therefore well. Who does not need a mega Luxskurbel will be satisfied with this crank. I hope this helps you in your choice a little further.
